Showing Post Title before Blog Title is considered to be a major trick to improve the SEO of a blog or website. For your reference, I have attached a search result as you can see above. Here, I have initiated a search for a keyword "my first house". I have been provided with a result of "how I bought my first home". It looks good and also URL is optimized for the SEO. I have marked it as Correct option. But in the second instance, you can see the blog / website title comes first and post title followed by that which is wrong and is considered to be very bad practice for SEO optimization.

Now, let's find out the reasons why Blogger was not automatically updating the URL structure. See, Blogger has been working for the last several years.

Those templates have never been updated to the current requirements of thousands of bloggers. However, recently Blogger has introduced several new templates / themes which are very much optimized to SEO.

By adding this code to your template, your current template will also be optimized and you will see the post title before the blog title.
