How to Hide Post Labels in Blogger

If you have finally decided that labels showing with each post in your blogger homepage or other pages are unnecessary and you have decided to remove them, this post is for you.

Labels in post footer sometimes might be of no use but even harmful for your blog as it may lead your blog to commit keyword stuffing. You might have already used labels in following elements of your blog:


-         Main Description of Blog
-         Labels Widget
-         In content/posts


Therefore, to avoid extra usage of labels, you could have been looking for ways to remove post footer labels from your blogs. 

Search engine spiders discourage use of unnecessary keywords on a page which is sometimes used to increase keyword density for the targeted keywords. It is to remember that keeping extra ordinary amount of keywords/labels on the page is not advantageous but will bring disadvantages from seo point of view.

Another advantage you may gain by hiding post footer labels is to reduce your page load time. Of course, if your page is set to display some posts on the homepage, let’s say, it is set to 10; removing labels from posts will definitely be helpful in speeding up your blog page load time. 

So it is time to normalize your search engine optimization efforts for your blog; here are the steps to remove post labels from your blog main page:

-         Login to Blogger
-         Click on Layout
-         Click on Edit HTML (Save / Backup Current HTML as a precautionary step)
-         Mark check on “Expand Widget Templates”
-         Press Ctrl+F to locate the code which causes display of labels below each post.

          This is the code section in your HTML:

<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
  <data:postLabelsLabel/>
  <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
  <a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != &quot;true&quot;'>,</b:if>
  </b:loop>
  </b:if>


-         Find the code and delete all these lines; sometimes this section is encircled within a div, if so you can delete it altogether with div opening and closing.
-         Click Preview button before saving to check the changes.
-         Save Template and it’s finished.
