Blogspot and SEO

By Richard Hearne

Well it never just rains. It has to pour. I made an offer of some free SEO reviews a while back and a nasty confluence of happenings has upset my apple cart.

But I’m going to try and get some advice out to a few more people now. And this is going to be the toughest task I’ve had in a while. You see it never dawned on me that so many folk would be on hosted blogs. Let’s just say that optimising Blogspot is not a straight forward task.

As a result I’m amalgamating the site reviews for all Blogspot blogs into one post. Apologies, but BlogSpot limits much help I can give to these hosted blogs. Here’s the post navigation to make life easier for you.

The Blogspot Conumdrum

I’m going to jump to what I hope is a logical assumption - if you asked for some SEO advice you must be passionate about blogging. So in that vain I’ll try to offer advice that might help your blogging careers:

• Taking Control

If you are really serious about blogging the best advice I can give you is to take it to the next level. Hosted blog platforms are a fantastic way to get started. You don’t need much technical know how, and you can be up and blogging in a flash. There are downsides however, and the natural progression is to buy yourself a domain and publish to your own blog.

Before I go any further I better give a warning: This isn’t a trivial matter. You will need some technical prowess (or borrow someone for a few hours to help you out).

A search for blog hosting Ireland returns hosting with a free domain name for €42.99 p.a. That’s fairly reasonable, and you’ll find that Wordpress (the same platform I publish this blog from) is highly customisable and extendible thanks to the thousands of plug-ins available. Wordpress also helps you to import all your Blogger posts (beware - the new Blogger no longer supports this function. See here for more.)

If you do decide to take the jump then many of the comments I made on the Bubble Brothers post should also be useful.
