SEO Tip - Custom Blogger Post URL

It's very important for SEO (search engine optimization) to have a meaningful blog post URL in your Blogger or Blogspot blog. Blogger will create a post URL automagically using the post title. So, if my post was titled "My post about iPhone programming", I would see a URL like http://blog.daveworld.net/2011/07/my-post-about-iphone-programming.html.

But sometimes this plan gets thwarted by the length of the title. In fact, if your title is over 40 characters, there's a good chance the URL will be truncated to something that is NOT satisfactorily search engine friendly.

For example, my last blog entry was titled "How To Follow More Than 2000 People on Twitter". You can see it here.
