Welcome: Balancing Search & Monetization
Writing a successful blog post for Blogger involves two key goals: ranking high in search engines (SEO) and being eligible for monetization (AdSense). This interactive guide helps you understand how these two goals work together. This first chart visually compares the impact of key activities on both SEO and AdSense. You'll see where efforts overlap (like 'Quality Content') and where they are more specialized (like 'Keyword Usage' for SEO).
This radar chart shows the relative impact of each factor from 0 (low) to 10 (high). Use the other tabs in this guide to learn how to master each of these areas.
Core Principles: The Foundation for Both
Before diving into specific checklists, understand the foundation. Both Google's search algorithm and its AdSense policy team want to reward one thing: a good user experience. These principles are non-negotiable for long-term success with both.
1. Original, Valuable Content
This is the most important rule. Your content must be 100% original (not copied) and provide real value to the reader. It should answer their questions, solve their problems, or be uniquely entertaining. Thin, low-quality, or auto-generated content will fail both SEO and AdSense.
2. Positive User Experience (UX)
Your site must be easy to navigate. Users should be able to find what they're looking for. This includes a clean layout, readable fonts, and fast loading times. A high bounce rate (users leaving quickly) hurts SEO, and a confusing layout can violate AdSense policies.
3. Mobile-Friendly Design
The majority of web traffic is mobile. Your Blogger theme must be responsive and look good on all devices. Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning it primarily uses the mobile version of your site for ranking. This is also critical for a good ad experience.
4. Trust & Transparency
Both users and Google need to trust your site. For AdSense, this is a requirement. You must have "About," "Contact," and "Privacy Policy" pages. This signals that your blog is a legitimate operation run by a real person or entity.
