    I mentioned in my article 6 Tips on how to increase site traffic/visitors/hits, the popular 6 methods to increase site traffic. One of them was to use meta tags. I received many emails about this topic. So, i am here informing you about how to use meta tags for blog posts. Meta tags are very useful for SEO. They help Search Engine spiders in informing what the particular page is all about. This description is ofcourse entered by us. I know many of u might be knowing this...but i wrote this mainly for newbies.

    Method:

    Adding meta tags is very simple. Just follow the steps given below:

    1. Just login to your blogger dashboard account.

    2. Layout-> Edit HTML.

    3. Now, search for code given below. This searching can be done by using Ctrl+F.

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

    4. Add the following code just below the above code.

    Code:
    <b:if cond=’data:blog.url == “SITE URL”‘><meta content=’DESCRIPTION’ name=’description’/>
    <meta content=’KEYWORDS’ name=’keywords’/> </b:if>

    Now, the code will look like this :

    5. Now time to add description and keywords. Replace “SITE URL” with url of your site. In content=”DESCRIPTION”, replace “DESCRIPTION” with what you want to describe your page. Also, replace “KEYWORDS” with keywords you like to target for your page. Remember, replace “DESCRIPTION”(in capital) and not “description” . Same applies for keywords.

    Note: Try to keep your description around 15 words or you will be penalized by Search Engine. Also, keep your keywords below 8.

    Eg:
    <b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://rajeshhackingarticles.today.com"'><meta content='Information and tutorial of computer tricks, blogging tips to help you in improving your blog' name='description'/>
    <meta content=’blog tips,earn from blog,computer, site visitors’ name=’keywords’/> </b:if>

    In this way, you can add meta tags to your blog posts. You can even add different meta tags to different posts. In this case, just insert meta tag of one post below other. Thats it.

    So, i hope you are now able to add meta tags to your blog posts. I have tried to make it as simple as possible. Can contact me for any help or visit my blog Tips to improve site traffic.

    Enjoy Blogging…..
