Though blogger belongs to Google but it doesn't mean that it is fully SEO optimized. It needs to fixed those SEO related bugs so that it can compete with Wordpress.
The first and most important thing is the posts titles. Google for instance, only looks at 80 characters in your blog's post title. So if the post title begins with the blog name and only then the post title, quite a few characters may be missed by google. Example of a bad post title for Google:To fix this, we need to have the title first and blog name last, something like this:

I can attest that this hack works great but for "new" Blogger blogs not for classic blogger blogs. I used it on 10 new blogs and it works as claimed.

I have been searching for a solution for classic. Have one?

Sounds like site spam, but thanks for the tip
 

I wouldn't advise opening that site. It locks my browser and is identified as a "phishing" site. It tries to load several adware aps.

UPDATE: I reloaded the site but only used the domain name and not the rest of the link. That solved the phishing warning and I got the information I need....and...it worked perfectly! It's exactly what I have been looking for.

Thanks and Rep!

Nice trick, wish I could read all of it though. (Hint: dark blue letters on a black background... not the best choice of layout.)
