Ok, now i will following 3 steps below and try check again.

1. Blog Title.

Normally, the title of a blog is BLOG TITLE : POST TITLE, you can improve SEO by modifying the title to POST TITLE | BLOG TITLE. Find the following code in your template:

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

replaced by the code:

<b:if  cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/>  | <data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>
You can also add more keyword in blog title, example:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> |  <data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/> | Tutorials | Tips | Tricks | ...</title>
</b:if>

2. Meta Keywords And Blog Description.

Add the code before <b:skin><![CDATA[/*

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta name="description" content="Best Tutorials, tips, tricks for you when using internet" />
<meta name="keywords" content="tutorials, tips, tricks,...etc />
</b:if>

3. Heading.

Heading Tag (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5) is also very important for SEO. All widget titles of blogspot using H2 tags. but some template using H2 tags for article title. To improve SEO, you need to use H1 tags for the title article. For example the code below:

<b:if  cond='data:post.title'>
<h3 class='post-title  entry-title'>
<b:if cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url'><data:post.title/></a>
<b:else/>
<data:post.title/>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</h3>
</b:if>

In this article, my blog template using H3 tags for the article title (if you can’t find, maybe your template you use H2 tags). Replacement H3 tag (or H2) by H1:

<b:if cond='data:post.title'>
<h1 class='post-title  entry-title'>
<b:if cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url'><data:post.title/></a>
<b:else/>
<data:post.title/>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</h1>
</b:if>

And after 30 seconds, when check again in http://websitegrader.com/, my blog point increased to 33.

It is interesting how many templates don’t have code such as this already included for SEO purposes. Add such code is one of the first steps I take when I switch to a new template on a Blogger blog.
