You may wonder why isn’t your website showing up in Google search. Some of the bloggers may miss out meta tags like title, description and keywords in their blog. You may not aware of its importance but it’s one of the main factor for search engine to identify your site.
Without it you may still get traffic with keywords in the content but for search engine, these tags are the first to look at before digging into your content. It is better not to under estimated the use of these tags and by adding it is not time consuming at all.
Open up your file that store your header code, it must be after <head> and before </head> tag.
<head>
<title>Your Blog Title</title>
<meta name=”description” content=”description of your content” />
<meta name=”keywords” content=”business, tech, internet, blog, money” />
</head>
The way to code title tag is slightly different from description and keywords. Your blog title or name should be within <title> and </title> while description and keywords will be in the content. Keywords should be separate with comma.
For Wordpress user, just edit header.php file. After saving the file, be sure that it appears properly in every pages. Right click on your page and click on “View Page Source” to check out whether your tags are inserted correctly.
