Blogger bX Error Report

Posted by Ssannara | Tuesday, August 05, 2008 | | 6 comments »   | Email this article to your friends.

When you use the Blogger, you may have an experience that Blogger says "We're sorry, but we were unable to complete your request" and it gives you something "bX" code and guides you that you need to report your issues to Blogger Support or on the Blogger Help Group. It does not give your more detail where exactly you need to report.







However, there is the bX-code Reporting Form that you can submit the "bX" code and the descriptions. Google does not response back to you when the issue is resolved, but you will just need to wait at least an hour or a day and come back to try it again.





[After you submit]



I don't know why they do not tell the form is existed.

The form itself is not professional enough and the customer service is not quite good.

Is it because the Blogger is free of service? I don't know.

If you are the new to blog like me, you are frustrated that not many people visit your blog even after you submit your sitemap to Google.

Here are few tips you can increase SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for your blog.



Google looks at your title of the post.



1. Download the existing XML template and make a copy in your PC.



2. Open the copy of XML and search the below code.



<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>


3. Replace the above entire code to the below and upload the XML into your Blogger.



<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'><title><data:blog.title/> : Your Blog Title Goes Here</title>

<meta content='Add Your Description' name='Description'/>

<meta content='Add Your Keywords' name='Keywords'/><b:else/>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;archive&quot;'><title><data:blog.title/> : Your Blog Title Goes Here</title>

<meta content='Add Your Description' name='Description'/>

<meta content='Add Your Keywords' name='Keywords'/><b:else/>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><title><data:blog.pageName/> - <data:blog.title/></title>

<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageTitle' name='Keywords'/></b:if></b:if></b:if>




So what have been changed?

1. The old code only shows your blog title. Vs. The new code shows the additional description.

[OLD]



[NEW]



2. Even if Google does not look at meta tags such as description and keywords, some other search engines may look at those.

The old code does not have meta tags. Vs. The new code does.



[OLD]



[NEW]



3. The old code shows the blog title and the post title. Vs. The new code shows the post title first.
