When talking about SEO(Search Engine Optimization) then many people say that blogger blogs are poor in SEO compared to Wordpress blogs.I was experimenting on both blogger blogs and Wordpress blogs since a week and found some interesting reasons why Wordpress blogs are more SEO friendly than Blogger blogs.

It is strongly recommended to go through the below posts:

What makes Wordpress more SEO friendly than Blogger?

In Wordpress images are very SEO friendly,if you write good content and add some images then Alt and Title tags are automatically added to those images but you have to do this manually in Blogger.
Wordpress has got tons of cool plugins for SEO and better on page and off page optimization,So everything will be done by plugins, all you have to do is post some quality content.But if you see blogger then you have to do a lot of manual work which may fail sometimes and more over its time consuming tedious process.
In Wordpress we can give better meta tags to each and every post but in blogger it is very tricky to give meta tags to each and every posts.Though google claim that it doesnt search for meta tags in a post but I have noticed that meta tags show effect in search engine results of Yahoo,Bing etc.

Anyways it doesnt mean that blogger blogs doesnt stand over wordpress blogs.All you have to do is put some extra effort to be successful with blogger blogs.

SEO Tips for blogger blog:

2.Maintain quality in content:

Don't write short and thin content.Always maintain quality in your articles ,write full length articles with at least 400 words.

Don't dump you blog with a lot of posts which are of low quality.Its useless though you post 3-5 articles per day which do not have good quality.One good article per day will work best(If you have a community of blogger's then you can post 3-5 or more than that but quality in content is very important).

3.Add Alt and Title Tags for images:

This is a very important thing when coming to SEO.Daily 20% of Search Engine results constitute of images.So this shows how important are images for bringing visitors from search engines.

After you upload a image to Blogger then go to HTML and Add A Alt and Title tag as follows.

When you upload an image then HTML code looks like the following
