    Hi!
    Is it possible to add meta tags with a free WordPress account? I’ve allready tried to copy/paste code in text editor, but non is working.

    I hope someone can help me, because after two days of trying and searching for an answer, I think of giving up meta tags…

    Thanks!

    Regardless of upgrades WordPress.COM bloggers cannot access any metadata and we don’t need to. So many have abused the metatags that since 2009 Google has not considered them to be required at all. See here https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2014/05/05/no-metadata-required-for-good-seo/

    What’s important are the keywords in the site title and the tagline:
    http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/top-5-site-title-tag-tips/
    http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2009/06/22/creating-an-effective-blog-tagline

    To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com hosted blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
    Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.

    WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines

    Note that it can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. Note also that what attracts search engines is unique content in posts (not pages) that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly. For more information read > http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google

    I recommend using the step by step tutorial linked to the bottom of your Admin page https://learn.wordpress.com

    See also the “Video Quick Start” tutorial http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/

    The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also linked to on the bottom of your Admin page.

    See these support docs please:
