Increase Blog Taffic - How to Place Meta Tags in Blogger?

Are you experiencing problems in placing the meta tags in blogger? Well, I also did once. After days of research and consultations with experts, I finally find out how to properly incorporate the needed meta tags in my blog.

In this post, I will share to you the easiest but most effective tip on placing the meta tags in your blogger blog.

As mentioned in my previous blog post, meta tags are the invisible machine readable codes that is needed by many search engines for indexing. The chances that your blog will be displayed in the search engine results do not fully depend on the meta tags but also to other factors such as keyword rich contents, number of blog posts, back links, track backs, search engine submission and pings.

"Ok, ok... I already know that. Now, tell me the proper way of placing the meta tags in my blog!"

Ok, all right... here are the steps:

1. Go to your blog and "sign-in," of course
2. Click on Layout
3. Then go to edit HTML
4. Click on Expand Widget Template
5. Copy the meta tag generated by the meta tag generator
6. Click on the HTML portion of your blog and press Ctrl and F keys simultaneously, type head enclose it in <>, then press the enter key or click next
7. On top of the very first head code that you found, paste the meta tag

"Ooops...I already did that, but after clicking on save templates, I am getting an error message saying: Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: The element type "meta" must be terminated by the matching end-tag."

Yes, I know, for sure you will get this kind of error message, especially if you will simply paste the meta tag code, as generated by the meta tag generators. In this case, what you need to do is actually in step 8.

8. Don't click on save templates yet
9. Edit the meta tags

"What? Edit the meta tags? But, I don't know how!"

Then, you will know NOW!!!

10. Put a / sign just before every >, make sure that you will only do this for the meta tags, be careful not to touch the other codes.
11. For the title part of the meta tag, the one that has the specific code below, leave it as it is, you do not have to place a / anymore before the >, because the meta tag generator already placed the / before >. Observe the code below, the / sign is placed before title>.



12. Finally, click on save templates.

Did you make it or still lost?

If you made it? Yehey! I'm glad I was able to help!

Still lost? Oh my, what happened?

Increase Blog Traffic - Analyze your Meta Tags with Meta Tag Analyzer

Let me ask about the number of posts in your blog. Do you have several or already have a lot of them? It is true that more blog posts also means greater chance of being displayed at the search engine pages. Your ranking in the search engines would be greatly affected by the number of times you mentioned the "keywords" in your content.

For instance, in this blog, my Google search engine place as of today, August 19, 2008, for my blog post entitled EMAIL SCAM # 4- GAMBLING APPROACH*, is number 10, although I didn't make it "yet" to the first place, at least in about two months time, I made it to the top 10.

Some might be wondering how I did it. Honestly, I did not spend a single dime to be displayed in top 10. But, I will admit that I spent a considerable amount of time and effort for it.

Let me share to you my secrets bit by bit. While it is important to mention the relevant "keywords" several times in your content, it also makes sense for you to incorporate the appropriate keywords in your meta tag, because many search engines directly refer to the meta tag for indexing.

I suggest that you visit the free meta tag analyzer under the free tools tab of submitexpress.com for you to have a free analysis of your blog's meta tag. Based on the analysis, you can correct the detected errors by your self.

Increase Blog Traffic! Meta Tag's Role in Search Engine Optimization

Anybody who wants to engage or is currently engaged in earning online needs to master the secrets of increasing their blog or website traffic. In increasing your traffic, submitting your blog url to various search engines is one thing, but making your blog fit for search engine indexing is another thing.

I am not an internet guru nor a technology expert but, I can share here some tips that you might find useful in optimizing your blog's search engine rankings.

Before submitting your blog url to the different search engines, be sure that you had placed the appropriate meta tag element in your blog or web pages. A meta tag is a hidden code placed in the section of your html page. The meta tag element is an HTML or XHTML element that provides information on your blog description and keywords. Many, yes many... because not all, search engines classify and scan or crawl the submitted blog based on the information associated with the meta tag.

If you want to increase the probability of your blog from being found by the search engines, you have to create a good title for your blog and incorporate the right meta tag element. However, as already mentioned, for some search engines meta tags do not really have a small relevance at all, because your blog can also be indexed based on its contents.

I will not go into the technicalities behind the meta tags. However, in order for us to take advantage of their importance , we need to know how we can integrate these elements in our blog.

Things would be much easier for us if we will use meta tag generators. Several websites offer free services related to meta tag generation. You may try to use the free meta tag generator of submitexpress.com. Go to the free tools tab, then click on meta tags generator.

After filling up the required fields, you should have a code is similar to the one below.

The words in red will depend on your blog title, description and keywords. On the other hand, those elements that are in blue, may or may not be changed. Anyway, when you go to the meta tag generator at submitexpress.com, you will be presented automatically with the appropriate meta tag for your blog according to the information that you will enter there.

To place the meta tag in BLOGGER, go to layout, click edit html, then click expand widgets. Paste the meta tag right above the code below.

Click save templates and that's it, you're done.
