Blog SEO Tutorial: How to Choose the Best Title For Post
Make your story the TOP 1 on your targeted keywords on the 3 largest search engine, Google, Yahoo, and Bing.This is a simple tutorial on how to select a title for our new post that will top on the 3 largest search engines. The main idea is be on the first result. It doesn't matter if it is clickable on the part of the researcher or user as long as the keywords you are targeting are in there and it is understandable. But of course you still have to consider the spelling and grammar of the title. Before anything else, I would like to think that you already have an existing content or story. But if you don't have any, this is also a good start for creating a new one.
Draft a title
Of course you need to have a title for your post. The title must contain the main idea that you want to share to your readers. Let's take a look for this post as an example. My first title for this post is "How to choose the best title for new post that will be on top 1 on search engine results." I believe that is a good title for this one.Search the title on Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
(I took screenshots on the results on this one in case there will be some changes once I will post this content. Google, Yahoo, Bing)
Define Your Targeted Keywords
When trying to search my drafted title on the search engines, I found out that they actually search on wrong keywords. Now, this helps me define what keywords I want them to search. Out of the title, I draw out these keywords I wanted to target.post title, best, SEO title, best post title, best title, how to, SEO Tutorial, top 1 title, blog post title, top 1 search result, blog title, new post title
In choosing a keyword, it doesn't matter if the words are not connected to each other as long as the words you wanted to target is on the title.
Formulate the Title
After choosing the keywords, you may now formulate the title.Example of titles that I formulated before arriving to this titile.

What’s Keyword Winner?
Keyword Winner is a WordPress plugin that will make figuring out a post title easier for you. It’s generally simple to come up with post titles, but it’s harder to come up with a post title that will dominate search engine rankings. Keyword Winner is easy to use. All it takes is one click!The installation is simple. You have to upload the plugin files and you have to change the permission settings of two files. After that, you activate the plugin and can start using it.
To start using Keyword Winner, you have to create a new post. Enter a keyword in the title box and click “Get suggestions” and it’ll get to work. You can get up to ten results with 3-4 keywords but long keyphrases only give one result.
From the list of results you’ll want to choose one that’s highlighted green, which indicates that it’s a low competition keyword (100,000 competing pages or lower!). Red means high competition (about 1,000,000+ pages) and Yellow is medium competition (between 100,000-1 million).
What I think of Keyword Winner:
I like the fact that Keyword Winner is simple to setup and use. It takes very little time to receive the keyword results and it has helped me gain more traffic to my blog through search engines. The plugin can use some improvements. I noticed how the “Get suggestions” button is only available when you create a new post. I would like to be able to use Keyword Winner when editing a post that’s already published. Also, It takes awhile for me to find low competition results. I thought the plugin automatically tries to find low competition keywords, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.I got this:
Instead of this (as advertised):
I don’t know what the deal is but I hope this gets fixed and release a new version of the plugin. Regardless, I still think Keyword Winner delivers overall. It takes away all the guessing and work involved to research keywords for your post title.
Currently, Keyword Winner is priced at $77 (for a single site license) and was normally $147. There’s no telling if the price is going to go up. If you has the slightest interest, I recommend you go on and buy it! You have 60 days to try it out, and if it isn’t what you intended, you can get a refund. If you do decide to keep it, I’ll give you $10 as a Thank you!

Unbelievable! "Blogroll" Keyword 5th Position / Place on Google Search
Happy Blogging on Google's 5th position on "blogroll" keyword.
I could not believe what my statistics showed when I checked Google Webmasters, until I tried it on Google Search. I don't know when did this happened. Happy Blogging placed 5th on a single keyword and on the least expected keyword.
The Keyword: Blogroll
I don't regularly checked on my statistics. It just happened that I am cleaning my account, deleting those unnecessary websites I have included, I come across to this top queries page on Google Webmasters when I observed that the keyword was on the top of my list. I thought this was just an error on Google's system but when I checked it by searching the keyword itself, it placed 5th on the list. I am happy to see this for the first time. I really don't know I did to that page which I am hoping I know.12:56 PM 15

What is the correct image url for blogger favicon?
.ico, .gif, .jpg, .png - correct favicon image extensions
Now you have learned how to change your blogger favicon to your favorite icon or image. However after following the instructions, it still has that old blogger favicon and the code didn't work at all. You might have inserted a wrong image url.
Favicon / Image Extensions
There are many image extensions but you should consider only four that can be used on the web. These are the GIF, JPEG /JPG, PNG, and the icon extension ICO.Correct Image URL
Before inserting a link, make sure that the link is alive. The link should be the direct address to the image itself and not to the page or post you have seen it. The following URL format should be followed:http://{address here}/{image name}.gif
http://{address here}/{image name}.jpg
http://{address here}/{image name}.jpeg
http://{address here}/{image name}.png
http://{address here}/{image name}.ico
You should open the link first to know that it is alive and you have the correct direct link of the image. To determine that the link is alive, when you open the link, it should display the image alone and the favicon of the link is the image itself.

How to Change Favicon in Blogger
A step by step guide on how to change the default blogger favicon to your own favorite icon.
Adding a favicon in blogger is very easy, as easy as 1-2-3. You just to need the basic knowledge of changing your blogger template. All you need to do is to insert the following link code below in your template, between the head tag. I recommend you add it above the </head> tag.
The Link Code
<link href='{image url}' rel='shortcut icon'/>
<link href='{image url}' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
<link href='{image url}' rel='icon'/>
<link href='{image url}' rel='icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
The Image URL
The image url is the web address of the image you are going to use as your favicon. It may either be in the following format: jpg, gif, or png. Since it is a web address, you need to upload it on a photo hosting site, Photobucket. Replace the {image url} with your exact image url. Do you know the correct image URL?

The Head Tag
The head tag begins with this tag: <head> and ends with this tag: </head>. Go to Layout->Edit HTML.
Locate for end head tag (</head>) and paste your link code above it, then save it.
The result may take some time because of some delays brought by the browser you are using. I have tried once using firefox and it didn't changed the favicon immediately. But this will surely work perfectly. Do you know know where to upload your favicon?
