Its your post titles that ping search engines on an update and are indexed and crawled by search engine robots. In SEO the post title is referred as the KING whiles post content is referred as the QUEEN. So if the king is treated with H3 tag instead of H2 tag then I guess you must re-plan your Traffic campaign.
Changing Post Tiles Heading Tags In Blogger
To change post titles default H3 tag to H2 heading Tag then follow the steps below,
- Go To Blogger> Design > Edit HTML
- Backup your template
- Search for .post h3
- and replace it with .post h2 (keep replacing that for all occurrences of .post h2)
- Then search for,
<h3><data:title/></h3
and replace it with this,
<h2><data:title/></h2>
6. Save your template and Congratulations for the smart change! :>
In my next post I will discuss what heading tags you should use for headlines that you use inside the post body. I am sure this change will bring a positive change in your web Traffic inshAllah. Peace! :>

I want to use h2 tags on blogger homepage and h1 tag on blogger item post. looks like mashable and techcrunch. how to do that
ReplyDelete@Nalaka Prasad
ReplyDeleteThats against SEO rules. H1 is a reserved tag for main Blog Title followed by H2 for post titles and h3 for sidebars.
MAshable uses the format I discussed in this comment. Hope this clarifies buddy.
checkout my testing blog. I got Mashable, Techcrunch [SEO] post title and Header title structure.(This is testing blog and not clear css)
ReplyDeleteI think my SEO post title structure better than your structure. try this, it will not break any SEO rules.now this structure use Lots of Popular Sites(techhamlet.com,mashable..etc)we can do this on blogger

ReplyDeleteThanks
update
ReplyDeleteIn new blogger templates search for h3 and keep replacing it with h2 as many times as you find it. The new templates are diffreently coded so just note down this update. :)
@nani
You are right it is h3.post-title instead of .post h3 in new blogger templates. :)
@Nikolov
Buddy please read this: 6 ways to Change headline style in blogger :>
While Changing the post.h3 tags to h2 . Should we also convert all the h2 tags to h3 .. (Like sidebar title, blog description etc.)
ReplyDeleteAnd One more thing I forgot to ask.. Can we use h1 in both Post title and blog title ? Is it can cause a problem ?
ReplyDeleteHello Mohammad,
ReplyDeleteI used to add h1 titles in my post by adding html code and change the size to normal. So its that bad?
@rounak
ReplyDeleteEven if your sidebar titles are in h2, it doesn't conflict alot because Google only indexes your sitemap which contains post body section only so sidebars don't interfere a lot. Sidebars are indexed at homepage mostly.
H1 is only for blog title. should never be added to post title.
@Ayush
Buddy H1 is often taken for granted by Blog main title. Both social media networks and search engines consider that to be blog title only. However in WP post titles often have a h1 tag because the header includes a background image instead of a text-title.
I would recommend to stick to h2 for post titles and h1 for blog title in blogger.
At present i am using alt text and title generator for my images.
ReplyDeleteBut my question is i want to remove special characters from the title. can you provide me a script that removes special characters from the post tile and replaces with spaces.
I can not find : .post h3 PLEASE HELP My Blog: designer4arab.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteAOA! Bro i have already <h2><data:title/></h2>.. Do i have to do something else?

ReplyDeleteHi bro, i am looking for this kind
ReplyDelete> add h1 tag for full post title and h2 tag for excerpt post title
but the one you posted the code which put h2 tag for all excerpt post title and full post title ,
adding more than one h1 tag for a single page is not good
please help if you have any idea thank you
I have read : Congratulations you smart angel. :> That put a smile on my face, but thanks for useful information.
ReplyDeleteIs indexing tag create nay problem to the blog
ReplyDeleteThis is the most confusing part of Blogger SEO. Some SEO experts suggest to use h1 tag, while some suggest h2 for post titles. I have checked in many blogs about this trick, but all of them suggest two fold ways - h1 or h2. Now, can you please give me proper explanation as to why different blogger suggests different methods?
ReplyDeleteFollow authorities like MOZ and similar sites buddy. In wordpress the leaidng frameworks like thesis and gensis use the exact same method that i shared above. H1 for post title on post page.
