If you’re building a blog on Blogger, one of the most important steps for both SEO and user experience is creating a clear navigation menu. A well‑structured menu helps readers find your content quickly, and it signals to Google that your site is organized and valuable.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to connect Pages (your navigation menu items) to Labels (your categories), including how to combine multiple labels into one page. By the end, you’ll have a professional, SEO‑friendly menu that improves both traffic and AdSense approval chances.
🔧 Why Navigation and Categories Matter for SEO
Search engines look for site structure when ranking blogs. If your posts are scattered without categories, Google may flag your site as “low value content.” A clear navigation menu solves this by:
- Organizing posts into logical categories
- Making it easy for readers to explore related content
- Improving internal linking, which boosts SEO
- Showing Google that your blog has depth and relevance
For example, if you write about business basics, tech tutorials, and creator tools, each topic should have its own category. That way, readers and search engines know exactly where to find your content.
🔧 Step 1: Understand Pages vs Labels
- Pages: Static links you add to your blog’s navigation menu (like Home, About, Contact).
- Labels: Categories you assign to posts (like business-basics, tech-snippets, faith-reflections).
👉 By linking a Page to a Label URL, you can make your menu show filtered posts automatically.
🔧 Step 2: Find Your Label URLs
Every label in Blogger has its own search URL:
https://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/search/label/LABELNAMEExample:
https://erickouassi.blogspot.com/search/label/creator-guidesThis shows all posts tagged with creator-guides.
🔧 Step 3: Combine Multiple Labels
Sometimes you want one menu item to show posts from two categories. Blogger lets you do this with a + sign:
https://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/search/label/LABEL1+LABEL2Example:
https://erickouassi.blogspot.com/search/label/tech-snippets+blogger-tipsThis displays posts tagged with both tech-snippets AND blogger-tips. Perfect for sections like Tech & Tutorials or Faith & Community.
🔧 Step 4: Add Pages to Your Navigation Menu
- Go to Blogger Dashboard → Layout → Pages → Top Navigation
- Click Add a New Page
- Choose Web Address (URL)
- Paste the label URL (single or combined)
- Name the page (e.g., “Creator Tools”)
- Save and arrange your menu order
🗂️ Example SEO‑Friendly Setup
Here’s how your menu could look with labels linked:
- Creator Tools →
/search/label/creator-guides - Business Basics →
/search/label/business-basics - Tech & Tutorials →
/search/label/tech-snippets+blogger-tips - Faith & Community →
/search/label/faith-reflections+api-projects - Audit Systems →
/search/label/audit-systems - Personal Updates →
/search/label/personal-updates
Each of these categories uses keywords that match your blog topics, which helps search engines understand your niche.
🔧 Step 5: Test and Optimize
- Click each menu item to confirm it shows the right posts
- Make sure every post is tagged correctly with its label
- Add internal links at the bottom of posts (e.g., “Related: EIN vs SSN”)
- Use a Popular Posts widget to highlight your strongest guides
📎 Bonus SEO Tips
- Write 600+ word posts with clear headings (H2, H3)
- Use keywords naturally in titles, labels, and navigation names
- Add meta descriptions for each post (short summaries with keywords)
- Link categories together (e.g., from Business Basics to Creator Tools)
💬 Final Thoughts
By linking Pages to Labels, you turn your Blogger menu into a powerful navigation system. Readers can instantly find the content they need, and Google sees a well‑structured, high‑value blog. This improves your SEO, boosts traffic, and increases your chances of passing AdSense’s “low value content” review.
