Each Post Meta Description for Blogger Blogspot

How to create different meta description and meta keywords in every single posts/articles/pages automatically in blogger blogspot using blog post titles.

I. Introduction
II. How to create auto meta description
III. Alternative Automatic Meta Description script

As previously mentioned, to achieve better SERP and SEO, each and every articles we write in our blog has to have its own meta description which should be different with that of mainpage’s. This can be easily done in a self-hosted wordpress blog: All in One SEO Pack or Platinum SEO Pack plugins will do the task. Not for a blogger blogspot hosted blog.

There are some few hacks to do this  in blogger blogspot. The following hack is the one I like the most and I used for Farzan‘s blog.

II. Step by step Tutorial

1. Login to your blogger.com -> Layout -> Edit HTML
2. Copy and Paste the following code, and put it immediately after <head>

3. Change the meta content description and keywords as you like.
4. Click Save Template

Functionality:
1. When search engine visits the main page, it will show the main page meta description and keywords

2. When search engine visits a particular page / post / article, it will show the title as its meta description and meta keywords. Thus different from the main page.

Live Demo:

1. Visit the main page of Farzan Esfandiar‘s blog (main page) and open View -> Page Source. You’d see the meta description and keywords of the blog.

2. Visit a particular post, like I am Walking. Open View -> Page Source. You’d see the title [I am walking] is used for meta description and keywords. Thus, saves your articles from duplicate contents.

This hack is not perfect, but it’s still better.

Btw, this hack is not mine, but I don’t know the first person who invented it first. If you are the one, make a comment along with the link to the post.


III. No-ack has created an auto-generated meta description for each post taken from the first sentences of a particular article and keywords taken from the label. It seems good. See here for more details.

When I open the view source of his page, the meta description and meta keyword looks good.

It look like All in One SEO Pack / Platinum SEO Pack wordpress plugins. I am impressed.

Here is what it looks like:

    I have written a script that generates and updates the meta tags based on your blog’s feed. It provides a description and keywords for the home page and the page of each post.

    I need the variabel for calling the first 120 characters on each post. Then the automatic meta description for blogspot will be ready. Anyone knows??
