Blogger is an Free and wonderful blogging platform that brings very easy and powerful handling for posting articles, By tweaking some code in blogger that bring you a wonderful SEO optimization, where SEO refers that adding a meta tags for description and keywords, But unfortunately we have a option to add a single and common meta tag for a whole site, Comparing to WordPress, WordPress haves lot features in SEO and Generated these meta tags dynamically, Since Bloggers also can do, But it need more effort from us, But don’t threaten by reading this passage, Because also we have an simple solution,

Adding meta Description and Keywords tags for each single post in Blogger is little complex one, But adding Description tag in each post is simple task, Because Blogger itself gives a Wonderful Solution for it,

Add meta tag in every post blogger

Adding meta tags in Blogger is only takes place in Template editor, Since meta tags are static for all pages,

<meta name=”keywords” content=”YOUR KEYWORD HERE” />

<meta name=”description” content=” YOUR DESCRIPTION HERE” />

But your articles are differ for every posts, May be it related to blogging,Games, Technology etc, So a common description and keyword is applicable for all articles ? ya, Definitely NO, So here am going to show two ways,

Easier Way for Adding Meta Description tags :

  • Open and login to Blogger.com
  • Select Your Blog –> Settings –> Search Preferences,
  • In Search Preferences , Select Yes in Search Preferences.
  • In a Text Field, Enter your custom Site Description
    Enter the description
  • Finally Hit Save changes,
  • Now Goto Posts tab in Left pane, Edit or Write a new article Post menu,
  • In Compose a Page, You find a Post settings in right pane,
  • Select Post Settings and Enter your custom Description in Search Description box,
    Custom Description in post
  • Finally Hit Done and Write your article you desired and publish the article,
  • You can also double check the description by viewing the page source,

(Another Method) Adding Both Meta description and keywords tag :

  • Open and login to Blogger.com
  • Select Your Blog Settings –> Template –> Edit HTML, Make sure you saved your template before you edit them,
  • Use this code and paste it before </head> tag,
    <head>
    <b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
    <title><data:blog.pageName/> - <data:blog.title/></title>
    <b:else/>
    <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
    </b:if>

    <b:if cond='data:blog.url == &quot;http://YOUR-BLOG-ADDRESS-HERE&quot;'>
    <meta content='YOUR PAGE DESCRIPTION HERE' name='description'/>
    <meta content='YOUR KEYWORDS HERE' name='keywords'/></b:if>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.url == &quot;http://YOUR-POST-ADDRESS-HERE&quot;'>
    <meta content='YOUR POST DESCRIPTION HERE' name='description'/>
    <meta content='YOUR KEYWORDS HERE' name='keywords'/></b:if>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.url == &quot;http://YOUR-PAGE-ADDRESS-HERE&quot;'>
    <meta content='YOUR PAGE DESCRIPTION HERE' name='description'/>
    <meta content='YOUR KEYWORDS HERE' name='keywords'/></b:if>
     
  • In Above meta description, replace with Article URL and respective Description and keyword.
  • If your adding a new post, You once again need to add a new meta tag set to template file, ( yes i know it is complex one )
  • Be aware when editing your template file,

    hi,
    you have explained different ways to add meta tags in a nice manner. I am new to blogging stuff and wanted to ask,
    1. if I follow the procedure of adding meta description using the option provided in blogger new interface (where I can click yes and it gives me option for individual posts too) , then what do I do for keywords, Can I use the other method and directly add keywords only and not description in Blogger template edit html. won’t it conflict.

    2. If i keep adding the keywords and description to each post in edit html blog template. wont that make my template code(source code) very very lenghty,say what happens when i reach a 300 or 500 posts. Will this not affect my page load speed.

    3. Finally, any shortcuts to do achieve this.
    shall appreciate if you could reply asap. Many thanks .
