Update Title Style and Add Meta tag description for Each Post

1. Update Title Style

In blogger, By default, the Blog title appears first, the important information(which is the post title) is pushed to the end. There is a chance for the search engines to append this long a title. Also, it wouldn’t look appealing to searchers on google. So for a good Title, Page title should come first.


2. Add Meta tag description for Each Post

Google says :
We use a number of different sources for this information, including descriptive information in the META tag for each page. Where this information isn't available, we may use publicly available information from DMOZ. While accurate meta descriptions can improve clickthrough, they won't impact your ranking within search results. We frequently prefer to display meta descriptions of pages (when available) because it gives users a clear idea of the URL's content.

Google's creation of sites' titles and descriptions (or "snippets") is completely automated and takes into account both the content of a page as well as references to it that appear on the web.

TO Update both points in blogger:

Goto Edit Html tab and find the codes below

<title> <data:blog.pageTitle/> </ title>

Replace it With


<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'> <meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName' name='Description'/> <title> <data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/> </title> <b:else/> <meta expr:content='data:blog.pageTitle' name='Description'/> <title> <data:blog.pageTitle/> </title> </b:if>

It will display the name of a particular entry first without bringing the name of the blog in first position as well as add meta description tag.
