How to Adding Meta Tags on Blogger

Meta tags is the method to send important information to search engine about the information of a page. There are many meta tags appropriate with the standard HTML 4.0 from World Wide Web Consortion. But actually, which are really used by search engine are only three: description, keyword, and robots. About the explanation of meta tags, since there are just too many people who write about this, om will choose one of the best site that can be trusted. The information that om took is from this address: http://www.promosi-web.com/ (There is no any editing in the explanation)


Meta Tag Description


Meta Tag Description is used to give the general information about the content from your web page. The characters shouldn’t be more than 200 characters. It’s the best if the description can be used as the sentences that are located in the beginning of the web page. The example of meta tag description writing is as followed:


<meta name="description" content="Promosi-web.com is a search engine tutorial that explain how to get
top rangking in all major search engine and get high traffic for your web site. Available in Bahasa
Indonesia.">
 

Some search engines like Northern Light and Google don’t use meta tags as the description of its search results. Which are used by them are the beginning sentences that are located in the related web page. That’s why I advise you to use the content from meta tag description as the opening sentences. If the earliest part of your web is in the form of menu, then the description that will be shown in the Northern Light search result is like this:


Home | Products and Service | Contact Us | About Us ...welcome to our online store, the best place on the
web to...


Meta Tag Keyword


Meta Tag Keyword is a very important existence since it will decide what kind of keywords that can find that web page in search engine.

 

The basic syntax from meta tag keyword is as followed:


<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1 keyword2 keyword3 ...">
atau ada juga yang menulis dengan pemisah tanda koma :
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2, keyword3, ...>

Both of their function are the same and don’t have any influence in search engine. The purpose of using comma is to make those keywords easier to be read. One thing that must be paid attention here is don’t repeat a word more than three times because it will be considered as a spamming.

 

The example of the wrong meta tag keyword is:



<meta name="keywords" content="bali, bali hotels, travel in bali, bali island, bali weather>


In here, it is very clear that the word “Bali” is repeated more than 3 times. The example below won’t be considered as a spamming by search engine:


<meta name="keywords" content="bali hotels travel bali island bali weather">


The more important about keyword is don’t make keyword that is not related with your web page content. This is also considered as a spamming. As an example, your web contains the information about tourism in Bali, don’t ever add “MP3” or “Britney Spears” as keyword just because those keywords are one of the most favorite keyword in internet.


Meta Tag Robots


The main purpose of using meta tag robots is to decide which web page that can be indexed by spider and which web page that can’t. This tag is very useful especially if a website uses frame as its navigation. Of course we don’t want to show menus in the frame to be read by search engine.

The basic format from meta tag robots is as followed:
 

<meta name="robots" content="index | noindex | follow | nofollow">

 

As an example, if you want the spider to read the main page and then trace all existing links, then add the code below:


<meta name="robots" content="index follow">


With this code, the spider will index your main page and schedule to index the other pages that can be found through hyperlink (<a href="">).
The code below will instruct the spider to not index or trace the link that is existed in a web page.
 


<meta name="robots" content="noindex nofollow">


Then how to put Meta Tags in Blogger::


 To put Meta Tag in Blogger is quite easy. First, enter Edit HTML and the copy the code below. Usually the meta tag code is placed under the code <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> and don’t forget to change the red code below appropriate with your blog description.


<meta content=' your description here'  name='description'/>
<meta content='
keyword1 keyword2 keyword3 ...' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='INDEX, FOLLOW' name='ROBOTS'/>

Knowing how each search engine uses meta tags is vital in defining them in your code. Some engines, like Google, don't really pay much attention to meta tags. Be sure that you read how the engines you want to optimize for handle meta tags, so that you will able to come up with tags that can cater to them
