Kickass Meta Tags For Blogger Blogs

meta tags for blogger blog


Meta tags are a very important thing for your blog, if you want to get more traffic from search engines. Meta tags tells the search engines about your blogs and what do you blog about. Meta tags are very important for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as it will help your blog to rank high in search engines.

However many bloggers who have posted tutorials on how to add meta tags to blogger blog have used the following code.


<meta content='DESCRIPTION HERE' name='description'/>
<meta content='KEYWORDS HERE' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='AUTHOR NAME HERE' name='author'/>


I suggest that if you are using this type of meta tags, then stop using it as it isnt proper. In this post I will show you the best way to add meta tags that will surely help your blog along with the limitations of the earlier code and its solution.

If you are using the meta tags given above, then the biggest problem you will face is that the DESCRIPTION  meta tags will be same for the blog home page and each and every post of your blog resulting in duplicate description meta tags.

Solution:

 Using the code given below will solve this problem as it will provide description only for the home page thus eliminating the duplicate descriptions


<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content='Blogging Computers Internet N More Tips For Your Blogger Blog' name='description'/>
</b:if>


However, there wont be any description meta tags for your posts now. And if you want to add description meta tags, you will have to add meta tags manually for each post. But this will result in increasing the amount of code in the template. So you must add description meta tags only for the popular posts.

Solution:
To overcome this problem, will will add the following meta tags.


<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName' name='Description'/>
</b:if>


This piece of code will use the name of the blog post as the description meta tag. As a result, now you will have description meta tags for each of your blog post without adding extra meta tags. However it will be better if you think carefully before adding the post title for better results as the post title will be the description meta tag for that post.

That's it, now we have got one of the best meta tags for blogger blog, which have overcome most of the limitations. Here is the complete meta tags for your blogger blog


<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content='Add Your Blog Description Here' name='description'/>
</b:if>
<meta content='Add Keywords Here eg:Blogger,Templates' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='Add Your Name Here' name='author'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName' name='Description'/>
</b:if>


To add it to you blog, click on the Layout option and then click on Edit HTML option and paste the code just below


<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
