SEO Meta Tags for Every Post in Blogger

SEO Meta Tags are most important and useful for our blog's SEO. Meta tags are added to tell search engines what that page is all about. Most important meta tags are the Title and Description of a page. Only these two tags are included in search engines results with site link obviously. As blogs and sites have more than one pages i.e., a blogger blog normally have following pages. Blog home page , post pages, static pages, Labels and archives.

So we cannot use same meta tags for all our pages. Because every page have different content with unique Title and Description. So it is our duty to add different meta tags that perfectly defines our pages to the Search Engines if we want to rank high in the search results.

If we use same meta tags to all of our blog posts, our blog search engine rankings and traffic will be decreased. But, if we add different unique meta tags to different Blog posts, it will make the search engines to know more about our individual blog posts and make them crawl and index our pages better and it also improves our Search engine rankings for sure :)

Well this is the importance of unique meta tags for unique pages. Now lets learn about adding them in your site.

Add Meta Tags for Every Post in Blogger

There are many ways to do this. I'll write each step but the first one is my favourite and I recommend you to apply this method.

Step 1. Change your blogger settings

Now Enable search description to Yes.

Write your blog description in the box, it should be limited to 150 characters. Click on Save Changes Button.

Now whenever you create a new post, there will be option for Search Description on the right side. You can write a brief description of every post you are writing.

(This option will be visible after changing search description setting to �Yes� as described above).

Now we just have to add following code in HTML to add these in our blog.

Go to Blogger Dashboard >> Click Template tab >> Click Edit HTML

Find the following code [Tip: Ctrl+F]

<head>

After/under this line paste the following code.

<b:if cond='data:blog.metaDescription != ""'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.metaDescription' name='description'/>
</b:if>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> - <data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

Now Save Template. Your blog posts will now have Title and Description that you wrote while creating your post.

Step 2. Add blogger pages HTML codes

This step is a little tricky. Why? Because you have to add the HTML codes of blogger pages one by one. Just see the code below that can be used to add meta tag for your blog home page URL.

Go to Blogger Dashboard >> Click Template tab >> Click Edit HTML

Find the following code [Tip: Ctrl+F]

<head>

After/under this line paste the following code.

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content='Your Blog Description' name='description'/>
<title>Your Blog Title</title> </b:if>

Your blog homepage will now have Title and Description that you wrote in this code in place of RED color. Now Save Template.
You can add other page codes as well see full codes here HTML codes for all blogger pages

Step 3. Add meta tags with URLs

You can add meta tags with specific URLs as well. Just write your desires URL and give that URL specific Title and Description.

Go to Blogger Dashboard >> Click Template tab >> Click Edit HTML

Find the following code [Tip: Ctrl+F]

<head>

After/under this line paste the following code.

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "Write URL of page"'>
<meta content='Your page Description' name='description'/>
<title>Your page Title</title> </b:if>

Your blog page will now have Title and Description that you wrote in this code in place of RED color. Now Save Template.

Remember some points

1. Apply only one method. Because writing multiple tags will be of no use.

2. Google and all other Search Engine Bots only take those meta tags in their system which come on top the site i.e., if you have multiple title tags then only one title will be taken by bots which in on the most top.

3. You can see your HTML code by pressing [CTRL + U] , just open your blog link and press CTRL + U this will open your blogs page source. and your html site will open.

Need any assistance, don't hesitate to comment down. Have a good day!

Some questions you may ask:

There's no Mini Jobs to do?
The availability of Mini Jobs depends on multiple factors like the current needs of the offers� providers and demographical criteria, but this doesn't mean new Mini Jobs won't appear in the near future. You only need to visit the Mini Jobs section frequently to catch one of the new assignments as they come and go.

My answers have been marked as wrong, but they were clearly correct.
If you feel that their system has treated you unfairly, then be sure to contest the question on the feedback page.
You may also send them a clear and concise explanation of the problem using the "File a ticket" link by clicking the "listing" button at the top-right inside any Mini Job�s interface and selecting "help".

What happens if I get flagged or banned?
CrowdFlower�s system can flag or ban you from a single Mini Job or from all the Mini Jobs if you repeatedly submit a number of wrong answers higher than a Mini Job�s accuracy threshold.

For more information, you can visit: FAQ > Offers > Mini Jobs

Take a look at my NeoBux minijobs Earnings.

How to get more Minijobs in NeoBux

Some people are earning around 2-3 dollars even if they haven't got any active referrals.
And one of the key is the MINIJOBS.
But when you're in some regions and countries minijob offers are less appearing
than other members from United states and U.K.

Like members from the Pakistan, Philippines, well If you are looking for solutions, there is one.
I know, many members doing this most of the time to earn faster than clicking those
worthless ads worth 0.001 dollars.

This trick is legal, and Neobux wont ban you doing this.
Here is what I'm talking to.

TUNNELBEAR
Just download the link where your device is capable of running.
This application will change your Internet Protocol Address to other I.P. around the globe.
They offer UNITED STATES, CANADA, UNITED KINGDOM, JAPAN, and I guess
DENMARK i.ps also belongs here.

It is a VPN or virtual private network that use to hide your IP and change it to a different
Internet Protocol.
You can also use any other software.

There is an on and off feature so you can change it on what suits your time. So when you
use this you can notice that there are a lot of offers in the minijob section. where you can
earn lots of cents in a single task alone.

Remember:

You can only use this trick to do Minijobs but not for Clicking advertisements.
If you do so Neobux might ban you. Just turn the application off so that you wont risk your account.

Dynamic URLs vs Static URLs

Issue:

Websites that utilize databases which can insert content into a webpage by way of a dynamic script like PHP or JavaScript are increasingly popular. This type of site is considered dynamic. Many websites choose dynamic content over static content. This is because if a website has thousands of products or pages, writing or updating each static by hand is a monumental task.

There are two types of URLs: dynamic and static. A dynamic URL is a page address that results from the search of a database-driven web site or the URL of a web site that runs a script. In contrast to static URLs, in which the contents of the web page stay the same unless the changes are hard-coded into the HTML, dynamic URLs are generated from specific queries to a site's database. The dynamic page is basically only a template in which to display the results of the database query. Instead of changing information in the HTML code, the data is changed in the database.

But there is a risk when using dynamic URLs: search engines don't like them. For those at most risk of losing search engine positioning due to dynamic URLs are e-commerce stores, forums, sites utilizing content management systems and blogs like Mambo or WordPress, or any other database-driven website. Many times the URL that is generated for the content in a dynamic site looks something like this:

http://www.somesites.com/forums/thread.php?threadid=12345&sort=date

A static URL on the other hand, is a URL that doesn't change, and doesn't have variable strings. It looks like this:

http://www.somesites.com/forums/the-challenges-of-dynamic-urls.htm

Static URLs are typically ranked better in search engine results pages, and they are indexed more quickly than dynamic URLs, if dynamic URLs get indexed at all. Static URLs are also easier for the end-user to view and understand what the page is about. If a user sees a URL in a search engine query that matches the title and description, they are more likely to click on that URL than one that doesn't make sense to them.

A search engine wants to only list pages its index that are unique. Search engines decide to combat this issue by cutting off the URLs after a specific number of variable strings (e.g.: ? & =).

For example, let's look at three URLs:

http://www.somesites.com/forums/thread.php?threadid=12345&sort=date
http://www.somesites.com/forums/thread.php?threadid=67890&sort=date
http://www.somesites.com/forums/thread.php?threadid=13579&sort=date

All three of these URLs point to three different pages. But if the search engine purges the information after the first offending character, the question mark (?), now all three pages look the same:

http://www.somesites.com/forums/thread.php
http://www.somesites.com/forums/thread.php
http://www.somesites.com/forums/thread.php

Now, you don't have unique pages, and consequently, the duplicate URLs won't be indexed.

Another issue is that dynamic pages generally do not have any keywords in the URL. It is very important to have keyword rich URLs. Highly relevant keywords should appear in the domain name or the page URL. This became clear in a recent study on how the top three search engines, Google, Yahoo, and MSN, rank websites.

The study involved taking hundreds of highly competitive keyword queries, like travel, cars, and computer software, and comparing factors involving the top ten results. The statistics show that of those top ten, Google has 40-50% of those with the keyword either in the URL or the domain; Yahoo shows 60%; and MSN has an astonishing 85%! What that means is that to these search engines, having your keywords in your URL or domain name could mean the difference between a top ten ranking, and a ranking far down in the results pages.

Solution:

So what can you do about this difficult problem? You certainly don't want to have to go back and recode every single dynamic URL into a static URL. This would be too much work for any website owner.

If you are hosted on a Linux server, then you will want to make the most of the Apache Mod Rewrite Rule, which is gives you the ability to inconspicuously redirect one URL to another, without the user's (or a search engine's) knowledge. You will need to have this module installed in Apache.This module saves you from having to rewrite your static URLs manually.

How does this module work? When a request comes in to a server for the new static URL, the Apache module redirects the URL internally to the old, dynamic URL, while still looking like the new static URL. The web server compares the URL requested by the client with the search pattern in the individual rules.

For example, when someone requests this URL:
http://www.somesites.com/forums/the-challenges-of-dynamic-urls.html

The server looks for and compares this static-looking URL to what information is listed in the .htaccess file, such as:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule thread-threadid-(.*)\.htm$ thread.php?threadid=$1

It then converts the static URL to the old dynamic URL that looks like this, with no one the wiser:
http://www.somesites.com/forums/thread.php?threadid=12345

You now have a URL that only will rank better in the search engines, but your end-users can definitely understand by glancing at the URL what the page will be about, while allowing Apache's Mod Rewrite Rule to handle to conversion for you, and still keeping the dynamic URL.

If you are not particularly technical, you may not wish to attempt to figure out the complex Mod Rewrite code and how to use it, or you simply may not have the time to embark upon a new learning curve. Therefore, it would be extremely beneficial to have something to do it for you. This URL Rewriting Tool can definitely help you. What this tool does is implement the Mod Rewrite Rule in your .htaccess file to secretly convert a URL to another, such as with dynamic and static ones.

With the URL Rewriting Tool, you can opt to rewrite single pages or entire directories. Simply enter the URL into the box, press submit, and copy and paste the generated code into your .htaccess file on the root of your website. You must remember to place any additional rewrite commands in your .htaccess file for each dynamic URL you want Apache to rewrite. Now, you can give out the static URL links on your website without having to alter all of your dynamic URLs manually because you are letting the Mod Rewrite Rule do the conversion for you, without JavaScript, cloaking, or any sneaky tactics.

Another thing you must remember to do is to change all of your links in your website to the static URLs in order to avoid penalties by search engines due to having duplicate URLs. You could even add your dynamic URLs to your Robots Exclusion Standard File (robots.txt) to keep the search engines from spidering the duplicate URLs. Regardless of your methods, after using the URL Rewrite Tool, you should ideally have no links pointing to any of your old dynamic URLs.

You have multiple reasons to utilize static URLs in your website whenever possible. When it's not possible, and you need to keep your database-driven content as those old dynamic URLs, you can still give end-users and search engine a static URL to navigate, and all the while, they are still your dynamic URLs in disguise. When a search engine engineer was asked if this method was considered "cloaking", he responded that it indeed was not, and that in fact, search engines prefer you do it this way. The URL Rewrite Tool not only saves you time and energy by helping you use static URLs by converting them transparently to your dynamic URLs, but it will also save your rankings in the search engines.

How i Earn money with PTC site Neobux

Hello to my fellow bloggers, Today I want to talk about some money making sites. Last time I showed you some basic steps to start a blog and earn money with blogging. There are various sites on internet which are called PTC sites or Pay-to-Click sites.

PTC is an abbreviation or short-form of Paid To Click. PTC sites are sites which pay you for clicking certain ads to improve their alexa ranking,generate leads,make sales or simply for gaining members to their websites. PTC sites are sites that pay you every time you click and watch an advertisement, usually ranging from 5 seconds to 2 minutes, and they pay anywhere from $0.001 to $0.02 per click. And Yes this is a very low amount.

Despite the small earnings, some PTC websites have very sophisticated referral systems that pay quite handsomely, often around $0.01 per referral click.

That means if you can refer 1000 people and each of them clicked 1 ad a day, you would be earning a $10.00 on a daily basis.
Of course the main challenge is getting to that point.

In the world of PTC there are a whole lot of scam sites out there that are just trying to rob you of your time and money, but there are a few gems out there that I highly recommend you join.

How to find good paying PTC sites?

Well,this is the most difficult task. Most of the users get it wrong when they enter in to PTC industry.

I too am one of those,when i started joining PTC sites,i started to click at sites with high click rates and failed every almost every time.Also i had lost my own money , by investing in upgrades on risky PTC sites and then loosing it when the sites would close down.

But later as i gained experience in this field,i learned some bitter truth about ptc industry.
After my 2+ years of experience i have found some very best PTC sites for Earning money online. Click them to read details.

1. Neobux Guide (English)
2. Neobux earn money in urdu

These sites are best when you are thinking of investing some money and time. Because you certainly will get profit against your money. And you can take this as 100% guaranteed. As I am also making money with these sites.

I recommend everybody to join these sites, these sites are the best and you will get good profits from these sites. You just have to invest some money to go premium and the rest of the work will be done by referrals. See the details in these links for making money with referrals in PTC sites.
Now, let's join some Best PTC Sites. You can also join for free if you do not want to upgrade.

How to Make Income from PTC Sites

In order to be successful with Neobux, you have to be very organized, consistent, and patient.

Neobux is a very unique website in that you can earn thousands of dollars without recruiting a single referral. The way it works is that you spend your advertisement clicking money (or any money that you decide to invest) into renting referrals for a set amount of time.

These rented referrals work exactly like direct referrals, except that they expire after 30 or more days.
These rented referrals act like real direct referrals, except after a while they expire, unless you decide to renew them.

This makes Neobux not only one of the most unique PTC websites out there, but also highly lucrative if done correctly. Can you imagine renting 6000 active referrals, and each active referral earns you $0.02 every day?
You�ll be making $120 on a daily basis!

That is pretty good actually, So what are you waiting for. Let's join some Best PTC Sites.Its free!

Does this sound interesting to you? Why not join me?

You can join me using my referral link and we can be Neobux PTC buddies. :-)

Are you planning on joining Neobux as well? Do you think Neobux is legit? Post below your thoughts.

Wish me luck!

Hide or Show a Widget on some Pages Blogger

Hi Bloggers, you may have noticed, all the widgets/gadgets you add to your blog, will be displayed on all the pages by default, including the homepage as well. And I'm sure very few know that AdSense could disable your account in case you've put ad units inside the content of your contact or privacy policy pages. Therefore, hiding certain elements inside your blog pages is not only a matter of design, but it is also a requirement.

Today I'll show you the easiest and simple ways to show or hide any widget in your blog to show on pages you like. So let's start.

To hide (or show) widgets in particular posts, static pages, homepage or archive pages, you can use these conditional tags.

How to Hide or Show a Widget on some Pages Blogger

Step 1. Go to Blogger's Dashboard > Layout and name the HTML/Javascript gadgets that you have already added. Doing this, it will be easier for you to identify the widgets that you have in your Blogger's template. Give it a unique title so that it does not match with any of the titles of any other widgets already added.

Step 2. Next thing to do is to go to Template and click on Edit HTML

Step 3. Click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys to open the search box

Step 4. Find the HTML of your widget by typing the widget's name in the search box - hit Enter.

Let's say that the title for one of your widgets is "Recent Posts". After searching for the widget's name, You will find a similar code in my template:

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>

<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

This code represents the widget/gadget that you have added in the Page Elements location (Layout).

Step 5. After you've found your widget's code, add the following conditional tags marked with red just below and above to hide the widget from specific pages or posts in Blogger. For instance, in case you want:

To show the widget only in Homepage:

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>

<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

To show Blogger widget only in post pages

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>

<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

To hide Blogger widget in post pages

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType!= "item"'>

<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

To show the widget in a specific page

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "URL of the page"'>

<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

Note: Replace URL of the page with the address of the page in which you want the widget to appear

To hide a widget only in a particular page

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url != "URL of the page"'>

<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

To show widgets only in static pages

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'>

<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

To hide widgets in Static Pages

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>

<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

To show widgets only in Archive Pages

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "archive"'>

<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

Note: Pay attention each time you're adding a new address which should end up with .com, otherwise it may not work.

Step 6. After you have added the conditional tags, Save Template and view your blog.

Summary:

1. See which widget you are willing to hide or show in some pages.
2. Give that widget a Title in you Blogger Layout.
3. Search it in your HTML code and use the above tags.

That's it! Have a Good Day :)
