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.

Renaming web pages vs new web site
I am struggling with renaming a lot of my web pages because I used short form acronyms vs long form keyword page names and now my pages aren't ranking where they should be and used to be. I am weighing a whole new web site or just a massive update with new page names. I also have an old domain that 301's to the new url but the old one outranks the new one. If you search google for cheap tubes the first domain you see is www.cheaptubesinc.com (the 301'd version) when the real url is www.cheaptubes.com. I know I am getting a duplicate content penalty and when moz crawls my site they see 2X the page that I really have. I tried fixing this with canonical tags but it only helped 5 pages according the moz crawls since doing them. Since last July 4th my business has been declining and I know there was an SEO algorithm update last July 4th. I think either method of renaming the web pages with better SEO for instance cheaptubes.com/single-wall-carbon-nanotubes.htm vs cheaptubes.com/swnts.htm as it is currently. In either case, it is still an HTML 2 website done on frontpage and the question I keep asking myself is if I should just scrap the whole site and start over with a more modern format. Should I try to get a new site together with good SEO and publish it quickly vs rename and 301 a bunch of pages? What about the old site? Do I need to track the old page names and 301 them to the new ones? Any help is appreciates Mike

How to encourage guest bloggers to link back
Hi, we have just started to allow guest bloggers on our site www.in2town.co.uk where we offer them two links within the articles, but what we would really like to do is to encourage them to link back to their articles. I am trying to find information on how we can encourage guest bloggers to link back and would love to hear your thoughts.

Do comments count as page content, as it relates to the length of content on a page?
I understand Google likes long content, and I make all my pages at least 500 words of unique and good content. But there is something I am curious about. Do they also count comments as content? The reason I'm asking is that I'm considering creating a Q&A site, where I'd control the questions, making sure they would be good ones and not duplicates, and then have people add answers. In reality, I'd be populating most the questions as first, and most definitely supplying a very good and long answer to questions. The answers would likely be in the form of comments, with highest ranked answers at top. So, I'm wondering what Google would think of a 100 word question, with a several hundred word answer in a comment, often followed by some other comments after that. Would it be a 100 word page or a 500+ word page?

Duplicate Pages Different Content
Will duplicate pages different content hurt rankings/seo E-commerce Site is plugin style with WYSIWYG editor allowing for full customization, all pages are setup with basic default content. Ive created custom pages with content/keywords to begin seo on them I have two pages www.domain.com/sports/hockey and www.domain.com/nhl-tickets The first url is default, with a single H1tag, + Default Meta+Title tags, the second is the content rich page, and structured properly, both of which show up on the site, should I block the first url from displaying at all? The reason I am asking is because ive also setup breadcrumb links, which makes all of these category url's accessible on the site, I cannot edit breadcrumb links, we can either have them there or remove them. Thank you Very Much!!

Root page not coming up first
Hello. Any idea why site:www.bestprice.gr query doesn't bring the www.bestprice.gr as the first result? Could it be that the site is under a penalty? Thanks.
