    • http://solvater.com Arafath Hashmi

      Hi rachel,

      Please remove the single quotes, and try to add the single quotes again.. the problems is because of the single quotes, when you are pasting the above code, it is pasting as the back quotes instead of forward quote…. Check it and let me know if you still get that error… Bye

    Hi Arafath, I have a doubt, If this is for adding description to each thing should I delete the description I put when I create my blog? I think that is general

    in this image I show you what i’m talking about for you tell me if I let that fill empy or I put description there

    • http://solvater.com Arafath Hashmi

      Yes, you can remove the default tags or just keep it as it is, it doesn’t have any effect after you add the manual tags…let me know if you have any more doubts

    Thanks buddy it was really helpful since blogger,by default, doesn’t support SEO.

    But your code for the Home page is bit different from what mostly others use. i don’t know who is right or more relevant but still i would say these codes are a must know for every Blogger’s blogger :)

    This is going to sound stupid, but which key do I need to use to get that verticle line in line 2 (between pageName and data:blog) of creating the HTML code for the blog home page?

  • http://diythirdtimesacharm.blogspot.com Brittney Fifield

    I can’t seem to find the right place to put it. I found the head closer and inserted it after there, but it’s not working. (I did replace the single quotation marks.) Any input? I appreciate the code! It will be great once I get it to work!

    Dear Arafath,

    when I will post a new topic, I need to make change of the second code. Its ok.
    But after that if I will post another post, should I keep the previous code as it was or erase it.

    I think with every new post, that second code (as u described) will be modified and pasted below the previous post code with necessary changes.

    Please let me clear about it.

    thankx

    • http://solvater.com Arafath Hashmi

      Yes you are correct, you have to modify the second and post after every previous meta tags..

    Hey can you please help me out, can one of you guys email me so I can send you my meta’s and tell me what to do? My pages are all F’d up because of Dynamic change, I switched back to classic, but every time a result appears in search results, it’s like my home page with the keywords for another post, so when someone clicks they just go to my home page and not my post.

    Please? lol

    Used the info on the blog but was told that I had form errors. I had to revert it back to its original template. I get this on my blog page at the top: TEMPLATE ERROR: LHS of numeric is null before 10 in (which is followed by my site description info). When I sought to add search terms, I was told it was also malformed. I am using the Watermark template..
