How do I set keywords using the blogger template?

I am using the blogspot.com (blogger) template. How do I specify the keywords under meta name tag? Thanks.

 

I'm not sure if it's possible to set keywords for every page within blogger. I used something like this:

<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="<$BlogPageTitle$>, news <$BlogPageTitle$>, <$BlogPageTitle$> info">

Code (markup):

 

1) Log into your Blogger.com account.

2) Click on that icon under "Change Settings", which relates to the blog you need to edit.

3) Click on "Template".

4) In the template editing textbox, locate this:-

<$BlogMetaData$>

Code (markup):

5) Above this, add the following:-

<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="[B]abc[/B], [B]def[/B], [B]uvw[/B], [B]xyz[/B]">

<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="[B]Blah! Blah! Blah![/B]">

Code (markup):

6) Replace abc, def, uvw and xyz with your choice of keywords.

7) Replace Blah! Blah! Blah! with your choice of description.

8) Click on "Save Template Changes".

9) Click on "Republish".

You're done. All the pages of your blog will now bear these keywords and description.

 

Thanks for the tips. What is the purpose of the description for the search engine?

 

Why would you want to use meta tags, there history.

 

Are they really history?

 

What do you mean by that?

 

no harm actually so if you want to put them then you're the boss.. *wink*

 

any better way than the historical method ?

 

That will make all the pages having the same meta right? what if we want to target seperate pages? ... e.g. each page having specific meta datas...

 

If you want to target separate pages, use <$blogpagetitle$> like the first code snippet suggests for your keyword meta tag.

You can also use the same for description. Aside from that, you can't really edit each individual page to your choosing and keep them that way since everytime you do a full publish of your blog it will overwrite the data with what is in the template.

 

Thanks adham!

 

Thanks for what?

 

For the explanation. I search in Google and i found this.

 

You're welcome.

So there is no other way to do this?

Thank you for provide a nice information on Blog Meta tag I really did not know there is a meta tag facility in bloger. Thank you once again.

 

I want to set keywords for my blogger blog, but I've altered my meta tags a little bit with a feedburner feed address.

my template looks something like this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true" />
<meta name="generator" content="Blogger" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="FeedBurner Sample Blog" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/YOURFEEDNAME" />
<link rel="service.post" type="application/atom+xml" title="FeedBurner Sample Blog" href="https://www.blogger.com/atom/24021304" />
<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://www.blogger.com/rsd.g?blogID=24021304" />

i wanna add:
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="abc, def, uvw, xyz">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="Blah! Blah! Blah!">

where should i put these tags in my template?

 

You can just put those Above or Below the other <meta name= entries you already have in there.
