2.    How to insert Meta Tags to your Blogger Home Page   

i.    First go to www.blogger.com then navigate to Design>Edit HTML. Avoid from any mistakes back up your blogger blog download full template and place it any place of  your Computer and check mark on “Expand Widget Templates” press (Ctr + F) command and search the following code line which is available in your Blogger template.

        <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'>
        <title><data:blog.pageName/>
        <data:blog.title/></title>
        <b:else/>
        <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
        </b:if>
   

iii.    In view of the above both code lines mentioned that lot of new blog owners and beginners have no experience and they download templates which are not useful for Search Engines. In this regard read my article Search Engine friendly blogger templates. Now look at the code given below first select it after that press (Ctr + C) Command and paste it after the above Search Engine friendly code.

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content='Place your blog description here' name='description'/>
<meta content='Place your blog keywords here(separated by commas)'
name='keywords'/>
</b:if>

iv.    Now I suggest that look at the above code enter your blog description between the single quote marks on the place of red characters shown in above code maximum 150 characters only. After that enter the keywords of your Blogger Blog between the single quote marks on the place of red characters shown in above code and make sure that you separate each keyword or keyword phrase by a comma and keywords do not exceed 200 characters.

v.    After that click on the Save Template button to see your Meta tags  in action you can also navigate to your blog’s home page or click on image basis in your browser. You will examine your description near the top of the documents otherwise you can check your description in a free Meta Tag Analyzer tool such as SEO Centro or Submit Express these tools are very useful in my experience.

3.    How to insert Meta Tags to individual Blogger Post

1.     I think it is not necessary to include Meta tags to individual post of your Blogger Blog I can not suggest you if you have more than 20 posts of blogger blog. This method is suitable if you have a few key posts less than 20 posts of your blogger blog. More describe that I am investigating this procedure on 60 posts of my blogger blog,  if I have succeeded would tell you later about this. Include the following code in your Blogger template after the home page code you have already  entered in your Blogger template.

        <b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://url of your post"'>
        <meta content='keywords  to your post' name='keywords'/>
        <meta content= 'description of your post' name='description'/>
        </b:if>

2.    In view of the above now I am giving an example you will see that the optimized Meta tags for the individual post comes after the home page code look the procedure is given below:

       <b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
       <meta content='Place your blog description here' name='description'/>
       <meta content='Place your blog keywords here(separated by commas)'
       name='keywords'/>
       </b:if>
       <b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://url of your post"'>
       <meta content='keywords  to your post' name='keywords'/>
       <meta content= description of your post' name='description'/>
       </b:if>

3.    In this procedure select description and keywords from your post  and add your post URL, keywords and description in red characters of the above code then click on the “Save Template” button and then check your Blogger Blog  on Meta Tag Analyzer tool. I have already said that if you have few posts only you can get more traffic regarding this procedure otherwise this procedure is not appropriate for more posts.
