      Dear Bloggers, as we know the fact that Blogger templates are not well optimized for SEO and you have to add a certain things manually like keywords, meta tags etc.On the other hand WordPress templates are optimized for SEO and that's one of the reasons why WordPress lead Blogger.
       But If you are Blogger user, you need to optimize your template and its not so hard, you will learn how to do it, in this article, within few minutes.
   
        There are two methods;

  1. Adding Meta tags to whole Blog.
  2. Adding Meta tags to each Blog post. 
You will need to do both.So lets start with method 1...

1:Adding Meta Tags To Whole Blog:

Meta Tags are placed between  <head> and  </head> tag of your blogger template. Login to blogger and follow the following steps;

Step 1:

and past the below code before  </head> or after the above code...

 <meta content='DESCRIPTION HERE' name='description'/>
<meta content='KEYWORDS HERE' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='AUTHOR NAME HERE' name='author'/>

  • Write the description of your blog in place of "DESCRIPTION HERE".
  • Write the keywords in place of "KEYWORDS HERE".
  • Write your name in place of "AUTHOR NAME HERE".

Don't add a whole list of keywords just 5-6 are enough and separate the keywords or author names(if they are more than one) with comas.
                                 Congrats! Coding is done.
