Adding SEO Friendly Meta Tags to Blogger Template


What are Meta Tags
Meta tags are a great way to provide search engines with information about our blogs/sites. Meta tags can be used to provide information to all sorts of clients, and each system processes only the meta tags they understand and ignores the rest.

Meta tags are used for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The two most critical meta tags used in SEO are: description and keywords. These are sometimes used by search engines to place the pages in the search directory, and they are used to provide a short description of the Web/Bog page in the search engine results.
