Default Google Ranking for Blogs

Hi folks,

I'm just starting a new blog on Blogger dot com. I cannot seem to find anyplace to insert key words or meta tags in this software.

Is this normal for blogger dot com sites?

What can I do to get off on the right foot for drawing traffic to my blog?

Thanks,

Jerry

Here's a code for meta that you can use
<meta content='your description' name='description'/>
<meta content='your keywords' name='keywords'/>


If you want to get traffic for your site build more links pointing to your site by forums posting, bookmarking submission, and blog commenting

Thanks. I noticed that google points to my "about me" page. So I'll put in key words in my "about me" and see what that does.

Keywords are not the answer - content, content, content - and maybe a descent title tag. Inbound links to your blog, cross links within your blogs, and blog directories using you blog.

Think about submitting to itunes, and various blog-centric outltets... the more you post the more they listen....

Use of tools - I've notice that google likes if you use their tools - try Picasa for your image, YouTube for you video's and Google Maps for any address references....they like to see you're web 2.0....

Other domains... do you have a dot CA domain? dot UK domain? reference the country you're trying to target....it'll help your ranking....the rule with search engines seems to be - the clearer you tell them what you ARE about, the less time they have to spend figuring out WHO you are.
