Put the Title of the Post in front of the Blog Title to make it more SEO

Putting the title of the post / article is in front of the blog title on the Google search search results so that it is more SEO friendly, is one method / SEO tips that are usually done by most blog owners to improve the SERP position. Because the value of the article title is above the blog title in the eyes of the search engine. So if the target audience for the sampean blog is from the article title query, then this method is powerful enough to improve the SERP. On the other hand, for a very well-known website or blog whose ads often travel on TV or other mass media, I don't think this method needs to be applied. Because most visitors come from the query results of the blog name.

Most of the external templates, free or premium, usually have implemented this method, but there are still some templates that still put the blog title / name in front of the article title, especially the default template from Blogger. Where this will cause a long article title to be cut off on the search engine index results. Surely this is very detrimental right?

To change the post title in front of the blog name in the search engine index results, please follow the steps below:

1. Login to Blogger >> select blog >> click Template >> click edit html. 
2. Look for the code line as below

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

3. Delete the code, then replace it with the code below

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

4. Save the template

The ~ sign is the delimiter between the title of the article and the blog title in the search engine index results. Please change it according to your taste, with a sign | or >>.

Note: Changes to the search index results will not be immediately visible to old articles / posts, it can take 1 day or 1 week or more, to speed up changes can be by resending the article url (submit url / take as google).
