How to Create Meta Tags for Bloggers

Blogger never add Meta Description & Keyword Tags in all your posts? This will sometime lead to decreasing of yours blog traffic or sometime not index in Google. So to solve this problem you have to change yours template code.

As a search engine crawl your site, it takes the information from the Title & Meta Tags such as Description and Keywords. The Meta description should be used to describe the content of your page honestly and concisely and be 1 or 2 sentences, 3 at most.

For this to happen, you have to add some pieces of code to the template.
  1. First Sign in to Blogger dashboard » Layout » Edit html
  2. Search for <b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
  3. Add this code just below that line.
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://bloggertricks.com/"'>
<meta content='DESCRIPTION' name='description'/>
<meta content='KEYWORDS' name='keywords'/> </b:if> 


Example:

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://abc.com"'>
<meta content='
Blogger never add Meta tags in all your posts?' name='description'/>
<meta content='meta tag, meta description, meta keyword' name='keywords'/> </b:if>

That’s it! Save and view your work.

After changed of this tag, you’ll see that on post pages, the Meta description and Keyword tag included at the source code of that particular page within the <head> section.
