How to edit Page Title & Meta Description in Blogger?
-
I'm managing my blog on Blogger platform. I have published 7 blog posts to my patio umbrellas blog.
Today, I have published following blog post to my blog.
http://vistastores.blogspot.com/2012/03/offset-umbrellas-awesome-choice-for.html
When I see page title so it is shows me as follow.
Patio Umbrellas Blog: Offset Umbrellas: Awesome choice for good quality time outside!
I want to remove Patio Umbrellas Blog: segment from each blog posts' page title.
I can't find out Meta description in my blog posts. So, How can I make it happen?

The first meta tag refers to the Internet Explorer - you can read about it a bit more here:

The other meta tags are referring to the size of the view port - based on the condition whether the device that is used to preview the page is a mobile device or not.
You can also see the meta title and description tags:
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
Meta description is wrapped with the conditional statement.
My suggestion would be to remove these lines:
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
And place your standard meta title and description above:
Hopefully this should solve your problem.

Thanks for your reply. I have read blog posts which were suggested by you. I don't want to add these much Meta to my blog.
You can find out current code which is available for Meta.
<b:include data="blog" name="all-head-content"><title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title></b:include>
Can you give me some idea about this code? Where I need to make changes?

Here are a few guides on how you can do it:

Unfortunately Blogger doesn't provide the tools to do it using any specific interface, so you will have to simply paste the tags into the html.

Should i 301 redirect my blog to the respective site or just 404 all the blog pages?
Hi guys, We plan to close down our blog, which is a subdomain to our anchor site. I need advice on how to keep the link juice and its SEO value. Is it better to 301 redirect the blog to the homepage of our site, or just 404 all the pages of the blog? Thanks

Does a Google Map on the contact page help with SEO?
In regards to ranking organically for local search results (not google places), I'm wondering if there is any benefit to having a Google Map on my Contact page with our location pinned? If so, how important do you think it is?

Page hidden in SERPs
As well as unique content, we carry press releases (contracts with PR companies) Some pages don't show up in SERPs - but sometimes a few or even hundreds of other sites do. At the end of the search, google shows this: In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 109 already displayed.
Content Development | | loopyal
If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included. When the search is repeated, using that link, the page often shows up in the top 10 or top 20. I believe this is a site problem, not a page problem. We are often one of the first to publish the release.0 -
Leap of Faith - Damm the consequences - Title Tag Change
the crazy things we do mid week. But after reading Cyrus' post on beating Panda I went back to my website design site http://www.grangewebdesign.com which I had set up a plugin which had all my posts setup as Website Design - %%title%% So basically every Title tag had Website Design in front of it. REadingthis post now it suggests that this is bad practice so I just changed it to %%title%% which now of course means that I should perhaps look more closely at the titees I have been using. Was embedding the Website Design in front of the post overkill? thoughts appreciated...

Blogger & Blogspot Content - Move Across To Own Domain?
Hey, A few new clients have blogs hosted on blogger & blogspot, the first advice of mine is to set up a blog hosted on their company domain. It's usually easy to convince them of the benefits. What should happen to all the content on the existing blog? One blog in question has over 100 entries, good content with a lot of links back to the business domain. The blog itself has less than 10 links pointing in but a domain mozrank 3.5. In this example, my gut is telling me to leave it as is, and start fresh on the own domain. What about if there's less then 10 posts? At what point should the content be moved over to the new blog? Thanks for your thoughts.

Best strategy for content/articles. Individual pages or blog posts?
Hi all, Whilst adding content to one of my sites quite often I'm left deciding whether I should create an individual webpage for the content, or write it up as another blog post. More often I write it up as a static page so it fits in with the rest of my website more 'directly'. However I'm wondering if I'm missing out here as obviously I'm not taking advantage of the benefits of a blog, RSS, Tag Cloud, etc etc... Just wondering if others encounter the same quandary?

Different pages with very similar H1's - will I get a penalty?
I currently have text articles about various topics on my site - for this example say I have written about "Negative Reinforcement". This article is live over a month now and getting listed on the first google page with an added keyword which the article is specifically related to. Now I want to create an infographic related to the same topic "Negative Reinforcement" - but I want to call the page this infographic will go on "Negative Reinforcement Infographic" while the article is currently called just "Negative Reinforcement". Neither page will have duplicate content from each other. The article is 2,000+ words so I don't want to throw more into it by adding on the infographic and I want to specifically create the infographic as linkbait and on a stand alone page. I am curious if adding another page with such a similar title and H1 have any negative effect ("dilute" the strength of the other article), for example will google take having two different pages with such a similar heading as potential keyword stuffing and penalise the site?
