How it looks once i enter values in this for my blog:

Recommended tags

 <title>myhappylifehacks.blogspot.com</title>  

<meta name="description" content=" This blog talks about healthy food recipe, weight loss,fitness regime,intermittent fasting,travel to exotic destination, Investment, managing finance">

  <meta name="keywords" content="Cookbook4health,fitness4fun,4Indianfoodlover,travel4fun,calorie,diet,weight loss,fitness,recipe">

  <meta name="distribution" content="Global">

   <meta name="url" content="https://myhappylifehacks.blogspot.com/">

  <meta name="reply-to" content="sarikagkp@gmail.com">

 Copy above and paste it to HTML theme section as below:

 

 I found following error on saving above:

 

 Solution is simple:

So i applied "/" at the end of every line which has meta

For example:

This line

<meta name="author" content="SARIKA">

Becomes

<meta name="author" content="SARIKA" />

So with the above correction...now this is my correct html tag to paste in theme html below head section:

 <title>myhappylifehacks.blogspot.com</title> 

<meta name="description" content=" This blog talks about healthy food recipe, weight loss,fitness regime,intermittent fasting,travel to exotic destination, Investment, managing finance"/>

  <meta name="keywords" content="Cookbook4health,fitness4fun,4Indianfoodlover,travel4fun,calorie,diet,weight loss,fitness,recipe"/>

  <meta name="language" content="EN"/>

  <meta name="owner" content="SARIKA"/>

  <meta name="coverage" content="Worldwide"/>

  <meta name="distribution" content="Global"/>

  <meta name="url" content="https://myhappylifehacks.blogspot.com/"/>

  <meta name="reply-to" content="sarikagkp@gmail.com"/>

 Save it and it should show message save successfully !

Tip 10: How  to improve traffic through update of Permalink or directing original link to custom link

This is the current link but this is having word like "With" in the end which is not making any sense

https://myhappylifehacks.blogspot.com/2020/07/thai-green-curry-healthy-cuisine-with.html

Now we want to get rid of this word "with" using permalink

Open this post and we see permalink is disabled

So we first need to revert this post to draft and now you will see that permalink is having custom option to modify this url

 

Select permalink and remove "with" word from the link

 So this line

" thai-green-curry-healthy-cuisine-with"

becomes

"thai-green-curry-healthy-cuisine"

Save draft and navigate to settings as below:

Now , go to customer redirect option as below:


Click custom redirects and this pop up window will open:

Click "Add"

Now in the above window , enter below values in from and to lines , please note not to include domain name of URL:

Original link for post:

2020/07/thai-green-curry-healthy-cuisine-with.html

Paste is in "from" line

And we need to update below link in " To" line

thai-green-curry-healthy-cuisine.html

and click on " Permanent"

Click " OK"

Click "Save"

It says, 1 item added

 

Now you can publish that blog and check URL and you will see URL without word "with" in the last as below, basically update URL not the old one

Old URL

https://myhappylifehacks.blogspot.com/2020/07/thai-green-curry-healthy-cuisine-with.html

New URL

https://myhappylifehacks.blogspot.com/2020/07/thai-green-curry-healthy-cuisine.html
