How to make your content discoverable?
When you publish a post in Blogger, it will appear automatically in Google Search. That’s great but there are extra steps you can take to make your posts more visible:
– Select a good descriptive title for the post. This is critical for good search results.
– Set a search description on the post. This should be a small snippet of text that reflects the content of the post. It will be used by Google Search to better index your post and may appear in the search result instead of the first few lines of the post.

– Link your blog to a Google+ Page and share your post to the G+ Stream. As well as providing a second entry in Google search, it will make your blog visible in Google+. When you share, make sure your share the post publicly, not just to your circles. A public share will be visible to anyone, not just people that are already subscribe to your blog.
To create a Google+ page and link it to your blog, just open the Google+ tab in the Blogger UI. Enable the “Prompt to share after posting” check box and every time you share, remember to share with the public Circle. See Socialize and grow your blog with Google+
2. How to retain your readers
Now that you have your blog linked to Google+, add the Google+ Follow widget to your blog and encourage your readers to follow your blog, i.e. to add your Google+ page to their circles. Once they add your Google+ Page to their circles, they will receive notification when you share your post and see a snippet of your post in their stream.

Each +1 will increase the quality rating of your posts, making them more likely to appear more frequently in Google+ trends and search results.
