In one of my make money online posts I explained why it can benefit your website to change the blog title link to your homepage URL instead of the post URL. In this Blogger tutorial I'm going to show you how to do this with blogspot blogs.
Once our posts disappear off the front page many will gather dust and never get any traffic or backlinks. An obvious way to make sure your blog still ranks for the keywords in those older posts is to change the post title link to your blog URL so that when the search engine spiders visit your blog they automatically rank your homepage for the keyword, as well as the post.
Blogger make it really easy to change your post title URL, but you need to configure one of the settings first before you can add the blog URL for each post. From your dashboard, click Settings, and then Formatting. Scroll to the bottom of the age and you should see "Show Title field" and below that "Show Link fields". Make sure both have yes in the drop down box, and save.
Now, create a new blog post and you should see a new option under the Title for your post. It's just a text box that says "Link:". This is why I love Blogger so much. Everything is easy and doesn't require a degree in programming.
In that box, type or paste the homepage URL, then when your post is written and published view your blog and you'll notice the post you've just created now links to your homepage. That's pretty cool, and if you write keyword rich titles your homepage URL will now start to rank for those keywords, instead of long forgotten and buried posts. Good luck.
