The meta keyword tag is a list of keywords for search engines. Unlike the meta description , we can generate automatically the meta keywords (We can generate automatically the meta description ,too but it`s better to write ). Usually the most relevant keywords of a post are in the title, so we can use the keywords from the title as meta keywords. It`s simple to do it , just follow these easy steps:

1. Go to Layout , Edit HTML
2. Find the following code:

<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

3. Add the following code after it:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName' name='keywords'/>
</b:if>

4. Save template
NOTE: Google do not place much weight on these keywords but yahoo and some search engines are using them.

After 3 weeks of seo optimizing and blogging i have aproved my first comment.
I am very happy to see the results of my work , this gives me motivation to continue with this blog. I think this is the time to share the first statistics of my blog.
I`m using google analytics to track my visitors , most of my traffic is from blogger.com and other referring sites , i had some direct traffic and a verry small amount of visitors from search engines: 35 visitors , from google. I had 2 visits from my targetted keywords and 28 visits from the seo-tips-blogger.blogspot.com keyword, the rest is from other keywords.
I have earnd 0.26 $ from adsense but this is normal from my low traffic.
I have 19 backlinks , but i`m waiting to be included on many blog and link directories. In the last 2 days the blog was more populated the other days so i go in the right direction. Related tutorials:

The default form of the posts title is Blog title : Post title. This isn`t an efficient method because Google shows only 69 characters of the title tag and it`s better to place the most relevant keywords first. For a better SEO efficiency use a title form like Post title | Blog title or Post title - Blog title. Changeing the title tag is very simple ,just follow the steps bellow:

1. Edit your blog template HTML (go to Layout , Edit HTML) and search (Ctrl+F for FireFox) for this line :

<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

2. Replace it with this code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'> <title> <data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/> </title> <b:else/> <title> <data:blog.pageTitle/> </title> </b:if>

3. The character in red is separating the post title from the blog title, you can use any other character or keyword instead.
