What are Meta Tags?
Meta tags are HTML tags that provide additional information about your blog that is unseen by visitors but available to search engines. The meta description tag, for example, provides a short summary of the page content. The keyword meta tags show the keywords and keyword phrases a visitor might use to find your blog. Because of abuse of meta tags search engines have become smarter and most no longer place emphasis on keywords to establish page ranking however keyword meta tags are still used by some search engines so it is a good idea to include them.

Know about Limitations of Blogger and SEO
Blogger is not properly Optimized Seo friendly. Meta descriptions and keywords are not supported by blogger.com by default. Title tags are also not optimized. But where is will there is a way. The webmaster has made a way to use Meta Tags to Blogger blogs. But a disgusting matter is you will have to add all the Meta Tags all alone and manually.

Step:3 Click on Download Full Template for your security purpose.

Step:5 Press (Ctrl+F) to Find the lines below which will be near the top of your template:

<head>

<meta content='Find tips,tricks,tutorials,walkthroughs to customize your Blogger Blogspot blog.SEO,Banners,Adsense,gadgets,fixes,feeds,rss,help for beginner bloggers' name='description'/>
