Adding Metatags to your blog for SEO.

Adding the meta tags are an important part of your HTML code for your site or blog. Here we will be adding meta tags to the HTML for a blog. This is key when optimizing your site or blog for search optimization or (SEO) for short. The spiders that come from the major search sites (google, yahoo, msn etc. ) will be looking for this tag. If your site does not contain such tags, then you could be missing out on huge amounts of traffic and page/site searches. Each section will be broken down to explain each contributory factor for each meta tag.

Please note that the regular HTML tags <> are replaced with ( ) for simplicity's sake. Always replace with the correct opening and closing HTML tags <>.

Keywords metatags:

Here we will place the keywords that have to do with our site or blog. A maximum of 20 keywords only are recommended as per advice of SEO tools. Hhaving too many keywords might get your site/blog skipped by the search spider. Note: Keyword stuffing is a big no-no, your site can be banned from the search site if you are not careful.

(meta content="KEYWORDS HERE" name="keywords")

Author metatags:

This is self explanatory. Just type in your name (real name if you like or your company's name).

(meta content="AUTHOR NAME HERE" name="author")

Description metatags:

Here we will put the description of our blog. The better you describe the content of your site/blog in this field, the better the relevancy percentage you will get for your site. This is important as search spiders will look for the relevancy. This is also one way to attain a better ranking when people do searches for their subjects.

(meta content="'DESCRIPTION" name="'description'/")

Put together in your HTML, it will look like this. In blogger add these lines after this HTML tag (b:include data="blog' name="all-head-content'/) and revise as necessary (stated above).

(meta content="KEYWORDS HERE" name="keywords")
(meta content="AUTHOR NAME HERE" name="author")
(meta content="'DESCRIPTION" name="'description'/")
