Google Filter: Minus 30 penalty
Google is harder to manipulate compared to other search engines
because of various filters it incorporates in its algorithm to prevent
spam. Minus 30 penalty is one such filter for handling spam in Google
algorithm.
So, what is this minus 30 penalty? If your site was previously ranking high in Google search results, and suddenly its ranking drops by 30 positions, there is a chance that the minus 30 penalty is applied to your site. Normally, if you do a search on your domain name, you would expect to see your site at the first position; but if you see your site at 31st position, it is very likely that the minus 30 penalty is in force.
Most likely candidates to experience this penalty are affiliate sites which do not add much value for the site visitors. However, many non-affiliate sites also have reported this penalty. Though there is no proven theory which can identify sites which are likely to face this penalty, sites with excessive low quality inbound or outbound links and lots of non-unique content may have a minus 30 ranking penalty applied.
The only solution to avoid this penalty is to have unique content on your site, to get links from well trusted sites and to link to high quality sites. For detailed information, please refer to Google’s Webmaster Guidelines.

Single Canonical URL for better Google ranking
A Common SEO mistake made by many webmasters is that they are not
consistent when it comes to linking to their URLs across their site.
If some of your links go to the URL http://yoursite.com, and the rest go to http://www.yoursite.com/, your link popularity gets divided among these two URLs – thus affecting the pagerank as well as the ranking for that URL. So, it is better to pick the URL that you want and use it consistently across your entire website, as well as for your incoming links. One cannot, however, control how other sites would link to his website. So you have to inform Google which URL you prefer to be canonical. Google calls Canonicalization as the process for picking the best URL when there are many alternatives.
‘Google Sitemaps’ offers an option to select a canonical URL for your site. Another way to achieve canonicalization is by adding a 301 redirect (permanent redirect). So, if you want your default URL to be the www version, then you can 301 redirect your non-www version to the www version. Having a single, canonical version of every URL on your site will improve your site rankings as well as the pagerank.

Add Title & description To Blogger Blogs
How to add Description and Keyword metatags to Blogger blogs?
If you are a webmaster or site creator, you have to make sure that the site content reaches your target audience. One way of doing that is by carefully assigning title tags as well as meta descriptions and keywords to your web pages. Meta description tags also improve the chances of your site being found and clicked on in the SERPs.Though Blogger is a Google product, blogs hosted on blogger do not have support for meta descriptions and keywords by default. If you have ever tried adding keywords or description meta tags to your Blogger pages, you might have seen that there is no easy way of implementing that. Here is a workaround to make changes to your blogger template in order to add description and keyword metatags of your choice to your blogger top page as well as to your posts.
In the Layout panel of your blog, click on Edit HTML.
Click on Download Full Template and save a backup copy of your template. This will come in handy to undo any changes in case the changes do not work as expected
Look for the following code in the template
Add the following code immediately after the code in step #3.
Replace the http://myurl.blogspot.com/ line with the URL of your blog top page.
Replace the word MY DESCRIPTION with a description for your blog top page.
Replace the word MY KEYWORDS with a list of keywords separated by commas, relevant to your blog top page.
You would need to to follow the steps 4 to 7 – for adding corresponding URL’s, descriptions and keywordsfor for all the individual posts from your blog. For example, if your first article is about your visit to New York, you’ll need to as follows.
Add this code again immediately after the
<b:include data=”blog” name=”all-head-content” /> line:
Replace the http://myurl.blogspot.com/ line with http://myurl.blogspot.com/my_visit to_newyork.html.
Replace the word MY DESCRIPTION with description of your visit to New York.
Replace the word MY KEYWORDS with keywords such new york, business visit, usa visit etc.
Please ensure that all the individual posts have titles and descriptions matching the page content. This will help you from preventing your posts to go in Google Sandbox.
