How To Add Meta Tags On Blogger

Wanna know how to add meta tags on blogger? Well, one of the limitations of blogger for SEO is that blogs from bloggers are not optimized for its Onpage SEO. Thus Meta Tags on bloggers blog are not pre-installed and may need a little tweak to be able to use meta tags properly.

However, if you install directly the code to your blog on blogger.com the problem is that all pages will have the same meta tags, and thus google webmaster tools will tag your blog as having Duplicate meta tags. And these will affect your inner page SEO drastically as they will have same descriptions and keywords on all your other articles and might end up reducing traffic to your blog.

So here are some quick little tips on how to add meta tags to your blog without getting other pages affected;

1. Login to your blogger account.
2. Go to dashboard*
3. Navigate to design* on the blog you want to add meta tags.
4. Then Edit HTML*

Look for the code:

• <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> 

Then right after that code, Copy and paste this code below;

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>

<meta content='DESCRIPTION OF YOUR BLOG HERE' name='description'/>
<meta content='KEYWORDS FOR YOUR BLOG HERE' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='AUTHOR OF YOUR BLOG HERE' name='author'/>
</b:if>

REMEMBER: Encode all data required for your blog on meta contents. :)
