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:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/06/10/introducing-ie-emulateie7.aspx
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.

Titles being too long
I am in process of trying to help a client (who I also am an associate for) and they have over 600 pages (which are images) that have the same info in their tag, missing description, and you are talking 1500-2k pixels in their title. I called the host and the owner of the host said "If you were a real seo you would know that the title length doesn't matter." .... help me out here.

Page Break
Hey guys, A client has asked us to install a page break function on their Wordpress site in the hope of increasing page count. It's a very common practice but have never used it as part of a strategy. Any thoughts, pros or cons?

Images & Duplicate Content Issues
Here's a scenario for you: The site is running WordPress and the images are uploaded to the media section. You can set image attributes there such as the Description & Alt Tag. Let's say you'd like to reuse the same image in two different blog posts. The image keeps the same Description & Alt Tag associated with it in the media section. Would this be considered duplicate content? What would be the best practice in this case to reuse the same image in multiple posts?

Why is redirecting all broken pages to the homepage is a bad idea?
I have a site where all broken pages are redirected to the homepage. I've been told that it's a bad idea in terms of SEO. I just can't figure out why 🙂

Does every keyword need its own landing page?
So we're doing a bunch of keyword research. We've identified the big traffic, higher competition keywords and we've identified tons (thousands) of long-tail keywords that would be appropriate. What I'm wondering is: does every keyword need its own landing page (or content page)? Obviously, we'll be building content for all the primary keywords we're targeting. I'm less mystified about that. What I'm more confused about is what to do about the long tail keywords. For there to be any measurable traffic increase, we need to rank well for thousands of long tail keywords. But it's just not realistic to create thousands of quality content pieces to target each of these long tail keywords individually. So how do you go about ranking for large numbers of long tail keywords? I saw somebody post about using an FAQ page to target multiple long tail keywords which makes sense but even with that I'm not going to have a thousand questions. How does one go after large volumes of long tail keywords? Thanks, --eric

Onsite Content - Word Count & KW Density
Does the word count of a webpage make a difference to search engines? Are longer word counts on pages indexed higher or given higher priority? For example,say you have 300 words of copy packed with 20 keywords, and say you also have 700 words of copy that have the same 20 keywords worked in, does Google have a preference over which one it ranks higher?

Should I Have No Index, No Follow On Blog Category & Tag Pages?
At some point in the past I read or was told that No Index, No Follow tags on category and tag pages were a good thing on a standard WordPress blog in order to prevent duplicate content issues. Is this still true or was it ever true?
