Some time ago I wrote an article called "A company has no friends, has fans" and tried not to fall into the mistake of creating a personal profile to manage our brand presence on Facebook.

Now with Google+, and although it is mandatory to have a personal profile to create and manage a brand page (not in Facebook), which subsequently we empower our followers, customers, etc.. page is not marked as such profile that aims administration.

You should see the following video where you can see how a user added to his circles to a company that sells and repairs bicycles ZEN Bikes. The company uses Google+ page to announce not only their news but also as a meeting place with your customers with pictures of activities, hangouts (video conference), suggestion box, etc..


The strategy that Google poses to our business, is based on three pillars. The first is sharing, there is no doubt that this new space represents all a platform to share photos, videos, milestones and all we want to communicate the business. The second is to let you know by logos (logos) to be recognized by your followers and customers and aims to take you to your Google+ page. Finally measure ... and it's not easy to know the impact on our fans and customers, so Google is planning to offer in the future statistics on the use of your Google+ page

How Avoid The Same Description On Google Search

In this article we look at how to keep our post with the same description in Google result page, thus improving the SEO of our blog.


At Blogger you can indicate a description of the blog on the Settings tab and then description. This is highly recommended, but you must make a simple change to the HTML template so that this disclosure affects only the main blog address leaving as a description of each post the first paragraph of the same (156 characters), for this we will use a Simple conditional.

Do a search of your blog on Google to see if there is a problem

    In the search key Google Site: laurldetublog.blogspot.com
    Analyze the result. Here is a picture where you can see the problem



If you have configured Google WebMaster Tools, go to the Diagnostics tab and then click HTML suggestions and see where it says meta description should show the number of posts containing the same description. This is what we will address in this post.

Note: As you can see in the picture above, the description is the same in every post.

Steps to prevent all post show the same description

    Go to the Template tab and click Edit HTML button
    Find (Ctrl F or Ctrl B) this line in the code: CDATA [/ *
    Copy the following code and paste it just before the position where the previous line encontrastes:

    cond='data:blog.url <b:if data:blog.homepageUrl'> ==
       <meta content='Aquí must indicate the description of your blog' name='description'/>
    </ B: if>

Note: This code snippet should be in the head section ... </ head> blog. If you already have a fragment description is just add the condition.

Although it is a topic that is discussed in their day through this page, I have seen fit to make a post because of the importance from SEO perspective. Remember also that this issue (description and duplicate titles) is reported by the Webmaster Tools.

After applying the change to the template may take 1-2 weeks to see the new descriptions on the Google results page.

Finally thank the initiative of several followers of iniciaBlog for proposing this topic.

One Tip Solution To Solve Google Sitemap Feed Proxy Errors

Most or all know how to submit your blog sitemap to Google if not you can Google for it and can find a lot of tutorials on this single topic but something that most of you might have observed are the Google Sitemap Errors! How do you solve them? Why so many errors when you have done everything the right way? The answer is simple , read on.

What actually happens is the fact that most bloggers burn their feeds at feedburner despite the default Atom feed system provided by Blogger. So most bloggers have redirected their default feeds to feedburner as shown below,

When we submit our RSS or Atom feeds at Google Webmaster Tools Site we are actually submitting the redirected feed hosted by feedburner. The disadvantage of doing so is that when Google Robot crawls your blog it basically indexes the data provided by the default BlogSpot feed system but since you have redirected your default feeds to feedburner, Google robot has to contact two feed systems at a time! first from BlogSpot and then from Feedbuner and thus it turns out into a confusion and results as Feed Proxy Errors which is surely a headache for every newbie blogger. Unfortunately the internet has almost rare tutorials on this issue. The reason behind doing a professional SEO course was indeed learning how to solve all such problems. Luckily I have come up with a solution.

The mistake everyone makes is by adding the following sitemap data,

http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/rss.xml
OR
http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/atom.xml

But this results in dozens of feed proxy errors. To solve this issue simply submit the following sitemap data,

http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?redirect=false

Note:- You only need to add feeds/posts/default?redirect=false  because your blog URL will be added by default.
where , feeds/posts/default?redirect=false is the code that redirects Google only to the default BlogSpot Atom Feed system.
Finally the results for your blog will look like that for mine,


Impressive isn’t it! Adopt the right method and you will see a positive change too. Search Engine do really count for 75% of the traffic to your blog so make sure you smoothen the path for them by optimizing your sitemap as guided in today’s post.

Optimize the title entries to promote SEO Blogger

Work positioning (SEO) starts a blog since we published the first post. This is one of the most complex issues, positioning a blog is a set of actions with results in the medium and long term.

The default mode which displays the title of each post, does not favor the SEO. Then follow these easy improve the title of the entries in Blogger.

How to optimize the title of the entries in Blogger?
As long as we play the HTML template I recommend backup before. Follow these simple steps:

    Access the Template tab and click the Create button Backup / Restore
    Once you have created your copy , press the Edit HTML
     (Mac in Mac ⌘ ⌘ F or B)Keyboard and press Ctrl F or Ctrl B and search for:

       <title> <data:blog.pageTitle/> </ title>

    Replaces code found by the following:

    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>         <title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title><b:else/>       
         <title><data:blog.pageTitle/>
</title></b:if>

   Now  Save the template and view your blog


Now when you enter one of your post, look at the title that appears in the browser, at the top. It Put the title of the post first and then the name of the blog. It is this kind of details that favor the SEO of your blog.

How long it takes Google to index a new post in Blogger

Matt Cutts - SMX Advanced 2012 Photos (Photo credit: planetc1)

All we have ever asked this question, especially during the first few weeks as bloggers. Anyway, it's frustrating publish, find your blog through for example the title of one of your latest posts and check that there is no trace of your work. This is possibly one of the first reasons why many blogs are abandoned.

The first thing that comes to mind is to think that Blogger does not work even knowing that this is a Google service. The second is to think that our content may not interest anyone and so no trace and well, tried a second and even a third post and nothing at all, we delete the blog and start again as doubt and tend certainly think that we have done wrong, until finally we take it for our blog impossible and goes to swell the list of thousands and thousands of blogs that have become failed attempts.

To solve this puzzle we "invited" Matts Cutts (Google principal engineer) to really explain to us how the search, so we understand the advice you give in the end. When you give the Play, turns on closed down the CC.

Analyzing How Index Works With Matts Cutts


As we have seen, the indexing of content is done through programs called spiders or spider. This allows tracking mechanism be adding to the Google index billions web pages, so that the search is performed on the index, so we hear the phrase ... "is that your site is not indexed by Google" , which is said as an expert and us we curramos the blog we have a face frame and thought ... that she think this.What Matts Cutts not clear in this video and try to make us, the time elapsed since we published our blog content, until we visit the famous spider to index the contents, so that then we ourselves search our blog by the content of an entry.
Steps for proper indexing

    Go to the Settings tab in Basic and then check in the Privacy section you answered yes to both questions Want to add your blog to our listings? Allow search engines to find your blog?

    Instead wait for the spider to come after us, take the initiative and informed directly of our blog Google sitemap sending.
    As we saw in the video sites with more "reputation" that is, those with more inbound links and generate more dynamic content are a good place to index. An example of these sites are blog directories. These are indexed by Google much faster is a good choice as ultimately are links that lead to your blog.
    Keep posting, at least 1 or 2 week post thus how often Google crawls your blog will be much higher and therefore the time elapsed since the public until your post goes to the index will be much lower.
    Be patient, especially at the beginning as it can take up to one week to 10 days until they finally find our blog looking for content.
    The key now is to continue publishing and applying different SEO Blogger tips that will help you position yourself better in search results (so far we have only spoken of content indexing)

By default blogger displays, blog title before post title in search engines and and it is not good for  SEO. The best thing is  to change the blogger default setting and display Post title before blog title.

Why it is important to place post title before blog title

Only the post title that describes the whole post in few words. And those words also work as  the keywords of your post. So, whenever people will search something with those keywords your post will appear in search engines. But if you are not displaying post title first, then the chances for the people to click on your site will be less. Because they will see your blog title first and your blog title may not about your post.

How to place post title before blog title

• Sign in to blogger.
• Go to template> edit html> proceed.
• Now find below code.

<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
