I found a way to add different meta tags to each Blogger page. The solution is a combination between some articles from Blogger's Help pages and other tips I found on the Internet. You can find full instructions on how to do this on my blog.

I'm a Blogspot user. Having known of the importance of meta description described here in your article, I added a meta description tag on my blog. However, the Google webmaster tools reported that my blog has got 16 duplicate meta description. Will my site be dropped off from search results because of the duplicate meta description issue? Please give me some advice of how to fix the problem. Thanks for any help in advance.

Is there any method to write such meta description for each page in Blogger?

Hello,

My new site was doing really really well in google but just recently fell of the slippery slide. The webmaster tools diagnostics in google indicated that there were duplicate meta descriptions (i was using global tags in a CMS) so i went back in and made unique descriptions and key words for each page that I could do this on.

I am lamenting my fall from grace with Google! I don't know much about web design so am trying to get any help I can. My site is www.memorialjewellery.com.au ... any advice would be fantastic!

Would I have dropped off the search because of duplicate meta tags???

Thanks so much.
Mandy

So is it ok?!

I also found that when my blog (homepage) appears for a search, the title will always be the title of my last post! even if it doesn't have anything related to the search tearm.

Please help with that.

Thanks,
Roseate

This post doesn't mention a major factor in determining the snippet,
i.e. the search terms. As near as I
can see, if a search term doesn't
occur in the meta description, then
nothing from that meta description
occurs in the snippet.

2008-02-16T13:24:00.000-08:00

Hi,

I realized that my blog post's Meta Description that appears on the search results are the same Meta Description of my blog (homepage).

My blog is a wordpress blog, so where should I add the Meta Description of each post (and pages). And is their a way (plugin or something) that will allow automatic Meta Description of the post after posting it, that will be generated from the post?

Thanks,

i find it funny that this post doesn't seem to have a specific Meta Description.

i could be wrong, but i looked at the Page Info and under Meta there is nothing. Am I missing something? Or is this very ironic?

2007-11-26T17:30:00.000-08:00

I'm trying to find information on Dublin Core tags and their use in Google indexing.
If I have a DC.description tag attribute value will Google be able to parse this as regular description metadata or will I need two different meta description fields?
Does anybody know?

It is well worth the time and effort to develop your website to be the best it can be, using all available resources at your disposal. Think less of optimizing your site for search engines and focus more on your potential customers. You'll be surprised at how effective customer-oriented optimization is for search engines, too! Informative, well-written, well-organized, accessible, easily navigated websites attract visitors - your customers.

Long preamble to weighing in on the meta desciption tag issue, however, investing a little time and effort to write a well written description can potentially reward you with higher click-through and, maybe, even conversion rates, very important in today's competitive market. And who doesn't want that??

haha... honestly I think this post has created more questions than really enlightened as to how you should really do something. Just because you do things as Google would like doesn't mean it'll really help you rank any better than someone being crafty... thanks google! ;)

It may open a can of worms for people to put 'enticing info' in the meta description and then disavow it if there is a dispute by stating it 'was accurate'.
