Meta
Tags are HTML elements used to provide structured metadata about a web
page. Such tags are placed in the head section of an HTML document and
Search Engines might use this data to display the search snippet when
they display a page from your blog. Most of the Social Sharing Tools
like the Facebook Share or the Google Plus buttons will pick up this
meta description to create the snippet which gets shared to the Social
Networks.
How to add Meta Description Tags
Blogger has rolled out an array of SEO features and now adding Meta
Tags has become so easy. You can do it easily from the Blogger’s User
Interface without doing much of Template Editing or pulling your hair.
So here is how to do it
- Go to Settings > Search Settings and Enable Meta Tags.
In the Text area give a 150 character description which will describe
your Blog. This text might be used by Search engines when your Blog’s
home page is displayed on Search Engines. Here is the snippet that I
have given “Blogger Widgets provides you the best quality blogger
tutorials.It also provides you with free blogger widgets and gadgets
to build a better blog.”
- Now when you make a Post, you can set the Meta Description from the Post Editor’s Post Settings Sidebar.
You can always edit the Search Description for existing posts as well
- If you are having a custom template, make sure that the meta tags are rendered by your Blogger Template. To do that go to Template and Proceed to Edit HTML .
- Click somewhere within the Blogger Template Editor and find
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
- If it’s not present, add it just before </head> and click on the Save Template button.
