Blogger Posts vs Pages: What’s the Difference

 

You opened Blogger and saw "Posts" and "Pages" in the left menu. They look the same, but Google treats them differently.

In this tutorial, you'll learn when to use Posts vs Pages, how it affects SEO, and which one to pick. Follow along and you'll never confuse them again.

Step 1: What Are Blogger Posts?

Posts = Your blog articles. These show up on your homepage, in your RSS feed, and get listed by date.

1. Use for: Blog articles, news, tutorials, updates
2. Shows in: Homepage, labels, archive, RSS feed
3. Google SEO: Yes, posts rank in Google search results
4. Date: Has publish date. Newest shows first

Step 2: What Are Blogger Pages?

Pages = Static content. These do NOT show on your homepage. They’re for fixed info.

1. Use for: About Me, Contact, Privacy Policy, Disclaimer
2. Shows in: Top menu or sidebar only. Not on homepage
3. Google SEO: Yes, but Google prefers posts for fresh content
4. Date: No publish date. Order is manual

Feature	Posts	Pages
Shows on homepage	Yes	No
RSS feed	Yes	No
Best for	Articles, tutorials	About, Contact, Policy
Date stamp	Yes	No
Google ranking	High for keywords	Low, use for static info

Step 4: Which One Should You Use?

Use Posts when: You want it to rank on Google, show on homepage, and share on social media. Example: "How to Start a Blog 2025"

Use Pages when: It's permanent info that doesn’t need dates. Example: "About Me", "Privacy Policy", "Contact"

Bad practice to avoid: Writing blog articles as Pages. Google won’t rank them well. Nobody searches for them.
