1. Submit a site to the Webmasters Tools and verify it. To verify the ownership, you have to copy the meta content line and paste it in the head section of your blog. To add the meta content simply go to "Edit HTML" in the blogger account and search for <head> and paste the meta content line just below it and save the template and click verify in the Webmasters Tools.
2. After submitting your site, submit a sitemap to let Google know of the pages in your site. Click here for full details on how to submit a sitemap to Google Webmasters Tools.
3. Edit the robots.txt file of your site. The deafult robots.txt file restricts crawling your labels and archives. If you want Google to crawl everything on your site, then you have to edit the robots.txt file. Click here for full details.
4. If you are experiencing traffic problems such as low traffic then you can increase the crawl rate which only works for custom domain. If you have a blogspot address then google assigns special crawl settings and you cannot change that.
The Search Queries page shows your page impressions on the site engine and the average position of your posts in the Google Search Page for each query.
The Internal Links page shows how your internal links are connected with each other.
10. My most favourite thing about the Google Webmasters Tools is its ability to identify keywords from the site. It shows the significance of each keywords and its number of occurences in the site. To know your content keywords, go to Optimization --> Content Keywords.
Clicking on each keyword will give you its significance, no. of occurences and the top urls it is associated with it which is really helpful.
Implement and study these steps successfully and your traffic from google will increase in a matter of weeks.
