Blogger Meta Tags

Anyone that uses Blogger for their blogging needs knows that it is near impossible to dynamically create unique Meta Tags for each page.

The old way creating unique Meta Tags was to go to the page of the post save it and change the meta tags, then go into your FTP and upload the page again.

This works until...

You republish the blog then the default meta tags for the blogs home page are put on every page again.

Problem Solved!

Put the code below directly (minus the br tags) above the <$BlogMetaData$> tag, replacing all other meta tags.



Take out the damn br tags that blogger keeps adding to my post.

Now each page of your blog will create unique Title, Description and Keyword tags.

If you only want to have a unique Title just copy the first section of the code.

If you only want to have a unique Description copy the second section of the code.

If you only want to have a unique Keyword copy the second section of the code.

If you have any questions post them here and I will get back to you.

Below is a video I created to give a better idea how to add the meta tags to your blog.

Interesting. My question is, do you add the content articles you post, or is this ment to be included into the head block? Another question, will this work in the new blogger?

Thanks and sorry if these question sould silly or nieve.

Regards.

Interesting. What would you suggest for those using the new blogger?

 
At March 12, 2007 3:18 PM , Blogger Daniel Millions said...

Yes as far as I know it should work with the new blogger.

I am using the new blogger but on my own host. So it should still work even if you are hosted on Blogger.com

Yes you include the code into the head of you blog replacing the default Meta Tags.

Remember to take the BR tags out of the code. Blogger feels the need to add them to my post.

Dear Daniel, i got this message. Could not save it.Big problem. Now, what to do?
"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 content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup."

Make sure you take all the BR tags out of the code.

Also just make sure you grabbed the entire code and put it in the right spot on your template.

If you can't get it to work let me know.

I realize that they're not the same thing as meta tags, but I wondered if you know what, if any, impact labels have upon a Blogger-based site's SEO value. Clearly, there are navigational payoffs to using them but do Blogger labels have any SEO benefit?

 
At April 1, 2007 10:49 PM , Blogger Daniel Millions said...

Hey Rob,

The labels don't have any SEO based value at all as far as I can tell. I use them on some post for navigational purposes only.

any tip for new "out of beta" blogger?

 
At May 22, 2007 7:00 PM , Blogger Daniel Millions said...

StarCraft 2,

What kind of "tip" are you looking for?

The code above will work for the "out of beta" blogger as well.

Where is this <$BlogMetaData$> tag at beta? Is it working for beta?

Nice information.I have paste this code in my blog.

Thanks.

 
At January 19, 2008 3:09 AM , Blogger alpana said...

hi,
i can't seem to get the code to work. am sure it i am not removing all the tags correctly. I notice there are some extra tage in the code too so I can't figure out what comes out and doesn't. If you can help, I'd appreciate it.

 
At January 23, 2008 12:34 PM , Blogger amiya said...

<$BlogMetaData$> tag is found in the classic template. Located below the head tag, just above the title tag. I tried to copy paste it but to no avail. No matter which way I tried I kept getting error notes. Something should be done to rectify it. Would be glad to be informed of any new developments.

Daniel,
I cannot get the above elements to work. When I try to publish (br's removed) blogger says: "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 content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup."

could you help me?

what about beta? do you have one?

 
At February 29, 2008 6:21 PM , Blogger Guru Creation said...

T. Michael W. Halcomb,

On the "Template" page in your back office where you edit your template you first need to...

1. Bottom of the page choose the option to "revert to classic template". The wording should be something along those lines.

2. Now you can add the new code for the meta tags.

This is the only way this will work so everyone that asks about Beta that is what you have to do also.

 
At March 13, 2008 6:54 PM , Blogger Of Human and Non-Human Animals said...

It seems to me that the problem with your suggestion is that the title, meta description and meta keywords of each post will be exactly the same (although different from the ones of other posts). That would not be good for SEO, because search engines would consider this keyword-stuffing, which is a form of spam for SE.

Please let me know how each post can have meta description and meta keywords which are not an exact replica of the post's title.

I have started blogging and attempted to enter meta tags into my blogs HTML template. But keep getting error messaages. I have tried entering the code you suggested, taking out all the br tags. I am still getting error messages saying Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure that all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.
"Help! what do I do".

hi
This is super useful but I can't make the code work. believe me it isn't just a /> thing. I get the same error message as otehrs above, I can put basic meta tag stuff in the template but I would love, love, love a different title etc for each post as per the video.
please reply
thanks!
Kathy

Wow, this is so cool. Thank you so much. I'm just wondering if you also have the code for XML template?

 
At September 3, 2008 5:42 AM , Anonymous Boudoir Babe said...

Excellent! I've been trying to find a post like this for ages "obviously works as I found this post on 'Doodle'. Nice one :-)

 
At September 14, 2008 8:32 AM , Blogger acne-care-natural-skin said...

The code does work, you must follow the instructions that "guru creation" provided.......the only problem is that if you want the extra goodies when "customizing" your layout, there is no <$BlogMetaData$> tag. Until there's a fix, you're faced with using one option or the other.....

I hope this helped, I'm going to try both options on separate blogs....

 
At September 14, 2008 1:54 PM , Anonymous Russell Blanc said...

Daniel, I have been looking for this solution for over a year now.

It works great...

The title and descriptions match

But I would love to know how to change the Meta Keywords so they are unique...

Hi Daniel,
that is excellent advice. I have a problem to save it, though. But I will try again. I know where to put it, but not how much to delete of the old code.
Thanks!

Thanks for posting this information Daniel, so many other bloggers just put in the information based on the user not having their blogger account posting on their site; your information helped immensely.

At December 22, 2008 2:12 AM , Blogger Clay Langhorne said...

In response to my pasting the meta tags I get a message "not allowed"

 
At December 22, 2008 3:52 AM , Blogger W. Clay Langhorne - Publisher said...

When I paste a meta tag or even < head > into a blogger blog I get precisely this message:

Your HTML cannot be accepted: Tag is not allowed:

Just the same as I just got including the tag as an example in this post
