Add Meta Tags To Each Blogger Post

| Tags : Blogger Tutorials

It's pretty obvious that every one who blogs would love to receive more visitors. So, this post basically provides a simple customization by which you can increase your traffic. It improves the SEO of your blog. Although many bloggers would have added the meta tags to their blog, at least one fourth of them would have missed a piece of code which makes a lot of difference when compared to the other blogs. This line is simply a meta tag representing each blogger post rather than the blog as a whole.

I assume that you have already added meta tags for your blogger blog. If that is not the case, then you need to view this post namely, "Add Title Tags To Your Blogger Blog" before you proceed with this post. If you had completed the previous step, then follow the following steps.

1. Navigate to Design->Edit HTML. As usual, create a back up of your template before you make any changes to the template. Once the back up is done, proceed to step 2.
2. Search for the following piece of code in your template.

3. Paste the following piece of code just below the line mentioned in step 2.

4. That's all folks!!! Your blog is ready to get a little more hits than before.

So, what does this code do with my blog? To keep it very simple, assume that a person searches your blog on any search engine, say Google, then he/she would see a description written by you beneath the name of your blog as shown in the picture below. When it comes to a post page, that is, if he/she searches for some content, say "Add meta tags to each blogger post", then the post title would be the meta description that appears on the post page.

Do you wonder what benefit your blog would get by making this small customization? The answer is very simple, better search engine ranking which in turn means more traffic. Another advantage would be like this, if your blog and another blog has got the same traffic and if you had installed this tag it means you have a better edge over him and I'm pretty sure you will receive more hits than the other blog.

I hope the above customization will help your blog rank better than before in the search engines. I tried this on my blog and I felt it was pretty effective. So, I hope even you feel the same. Please, feel free to share your views via comments!!!

Yes you are very right meta tags are are most important for SEO, If you have good meta tag then It also affects your Indexing.

Mukund said on October 8, 2010 at 5:49 AM :

@Antivirus 2010: Yeah!! Thanks for your comment!! It is vital for SEO!!! I recently checked out my Google Webmasters account and I found 21 short meta descriptions in the HTML suggestions page due to the above script.

SEOnlineLab said on October 9, 2010 at 10:10 PM :

The right choose of the "description" and the "keywords" meta tags is the most important part of on page optimization.

Mukund said on October 9, 2010 at 11:22 PM :

@SEOnlineLab: You are absolutely right! It is pretty obvious that your meta description should be perfect and short. I recommend you to have one, not more than 150 words. Few people say Google stopped recognizing meta keywords. But, I'm not sure about the Big G. I still have it on my blog. No harm in just having an extra piece of code.

Web Design said on October 12, 2010 at 6:39 PM :

The method is looking simple but when i am adding Meta tag into other pages it shows me number of XML templates errors.

Mukund said on October 12, 2010 at 9:41 PM :

@Web Design: First of all, thanks for the comment!! Now, Let me know what kind of error do you get? It is pretty simple to add these meta tags to blogger.

Mr film said on October 13, 2010 at 1:11 PM :

I tried but does not display meta :(

Mukund said on October 13, 2010 at 5:28 PM :

@Mr film: Please do wait for some time!! You need to provide some time for the robots to crawl your website. I'm sure you will find the description after few days!!

ezad said on December 12, 2010 at 4:45 PM :

can this code been use to put diferent meta tag in different post?it must put after "head".i get this from another blog,but i still can't use it,i dont know why,can you explain about this?

please click my name to see blog that shown those code.i can't put url here.

Mukund said on December 12, 2010 at 8:34 PM :

@ezad: Thanks for the comment ezad! Though I did not understand your comment, I would like to make things clear for you. We don't have enough options like WP on blogger. Secondly, these tags will generate tags from the title. To view the results of this tag, just check out your webmaster tools and check out the HTML suggestions and you will know the result!!

Does it really works

Mukund said on March 4, 2011 at 4:30 PM :

@Mahendra: If you have a doubt if it really works, then install it and later, see your webmaster tools account after a week. You will know the change. Under HTML suggestions tab, you will find short meta tag descriptions for each blogger post you made!!!

@N.S Shyam Raj: I'm glad to know that you are able to find the tutorials from our blog. Thanks for your comment! Would love to see you more often on my blog!

Abhi said on July 1, 2011 at 8:03 PM :

I do not think this works if it is working then the first few lines of your post is used as description. So use wisely.

I have heard that Google now do not use meta tags if it is true ten please check your blog> dashboard> Stats> sources > keywords and match with the one .

Allcoolfacts.blogspot.com

Mukund said on July 1, 2011 at 8:16 PM :

@Abhi: Well, it actually works but I accept the point you said. It actually fetches the title of your blog post as the meta tag - not the first few lines as you mentioned.
However, it's not what you intended to have for every post but, I feel something is better than nothing. That's the reason, I posted about this article. In fact, I still run it on my blog! Thanks for the comment Abhi!

Miro said on July 7, 2011 at 3:04 AM :

Hi! Don't understand what should I do. I added code from step 3 just below the line in step 2 but I still have not meta tags in each blogger post. Can you help me please?

Mukund said on July 7, 2011 at 7:42 AM :

@Miro Just follow the steps in the tutorial and check your webmaster tools for results! You'll probably see the results in a couple of weeks time! Thanks for the comment!

Sudeep Acharya said on July 14, 2011 at 7:46 AM :

hello do you how to make post as description i mean first paragraph as description in blogger and lables as keywords!

Mukund said on July 14, 2011 at 10:56 AM :

@Sudeep Acharya: Well, you need to use the jump break icon to make a short description and it's difficult to make labels as keywords. But, I'll try to find out if it's possible! Thanks for the suggestion!

aivil vin said on August 21, 2011 at 10:15 PM :

Really wonder post !
I also wanted to apply this for my blog as we need to take care each post of our blog, and not only to a blog as whole.
Customized SEO for each your blog post is the key.

I got the key here-thanks Mukul for this one:)

Mukund said on August 21, 2011 at 11:23 PM :

@aivil vin: Thanks for the comment buddy! I hope blogger announces an option to add individual meta tags for each article! Anyway, glad that you found what you wanted here.

PC Tricks Tips said on August 31, 2011 at 2:05 PM :

This is cool trick. However can we add article little content for meta Description? Because of this method we can see meta Description and meta title same.

Mukund said on August 31, 2011 at 3:08 PM :

@PC Tricks Tips: Hmmm! Something that I should think about! I'll try to work out the code and possibly provide you an answer soon! Connect with me on talk to share your ideas:) Anyway, thanks for the comment!

useful info

Abhishek said on September 10, 2011 at 5:54 PM :

Sir i tried to add this on my blog... now post title is not coming.. earlier before adding this post title was coming while search or sharing posts.

Can it not possioble that post title and descripotion both will come

Tell me what i do

Mukund said on September 10, 2011 at 11:06 PM :

@Abhishek: It is not possible to have a description for each article on blogger. However, we can have the post title as our meta tag description - as explained in the article above. Just let me know what your problem is via email - probably with a screen shot and I'll surely help you:)

benooi said on September 18, 2011 at 1:37 PM :

Well, this doesn't work on mine.

I wonder does this

(meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName')

poiting to the post title?
The description came out was according to the post title. But I see it works perfecly on newbloggtingtipz.

I think there's gotta be other codes right? :)

Mukund said on September 18, 2011 at 2:49 PM :

@benooi: Just hit me an email with your template and I'll get the job done for you:)

benooi said on September 19, 2011 at 1:01 PM :

@Mukund
I just got your reply. I hope it works!
Anyway, thanks a lot for the help!

Naruto said on October 16, 2011 at 9:03 PM :

Hi.

How do it put meta tags in each of my blogger posts? Is it possible? Please help.

Thanks.

Ammar said on October 17, 2011 at 3:17 PM :

Thank you so much Mukund.

Mukund said on October 18, 2011 at 11:39 PM :

@Naruto: You cannot add meta tags individually for each article on blogger. However, when you install the above codes, they auto generate meta tags based on the post title!

Food for the Finicky said on November 13, 2011 at 8:52 AM :

I can't find the code in step 2 on my template. What popped up contained: title data:blog.pageTitle title,
which is located under my blog site META tag. Can I paste the code in step 3 below it? Thanks.

Thanks
