--- Is it better to use OF or FOR?

Dear New The first would be correct, but you must add "the" before search, as we are talking about identified rankings. The rankings belong to or are a feature of the blog posts. This means "of" is correct.

As a header, I favor this one. You don't need quite so many capital letters, though.

This one refers to any and all rankings of that type rather than specifically identified ones as mentioned by M. Chambers, so it depends on the exact shade of meaning you want to convey.

'for'

I favour 'for'; learners overuse 'of'. Ngram Viewer finds no instances at all for 'search rankings of': https://books.google.com/ngrams/g
