Excessive number of +1’s on Blog posts

bloggergoogle-plus-1

On my blog posts on blogger, I have an inordinate amount of +1's (Like 10,117!). As seen here:

This seems exceedingly odd as this is a private blog that only approved users can read. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to stop it?

It's a known issue with private blogs. Google seems to be working (although not that hard I guess) on it.

Adding meta tags to individual Blogger posts

Login to Blogger account.
Navigate to Design > Edit HTML
Click on Download Full Template for your security purpose.
Check the Expand Widget Templates box then..

Add the following in the <head> section of your Blogger template. Enter this code below the Home Page code above you have just entered:

 <b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://url of your post"'>
  <meta content='keywords pertaining to your post' name='keywords'/>
  <meta content='crafted description of your post' name='description'/>
 </b:if>

Here is an example of optimized meta tags for this post:

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://www.blogger-tricks.com/2011/11/how-to-add-meta-tags-in-every-blogger.html"'>
<meta content='meta tags,optimize blogger,blogger SEO,search engine optimization, blogspot,blogger,blogspot.com,blogger.com,blogging,blog' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='Improve SEO by adding meta tags to your Blogger Blogspot blog. Step by step tutorial shows you how to add meta tags to the home page and a single post' name='description'/>
</b:if>

Add your post URL, keywords and description. To find the URL of your post navigate to the post's page and copy the link showing in the address bar of your browser including the http:// prefix
Click on the Save Template button.
To check your description you can use the view source in your browser once you have navigated to the post page or a meta tag analyzer

_{Note: This method is suitable if you have a few key posts that you want to ensure you get maximum traffic on. If you have a lot of posts this manual method would be very tedious.}

Adding more than 50 users to a private blog on Blogger

I believe that the limit is 100 invitations - ever. It doesn't matter if those invitations are accepted or not, once they're sent, they count towards the limit.

Could it be that you've added 50 invitations before now, and so the current 50 mean you have reached the limit? (Or maybe Blogger has changed the limit).

Also, once you have reached the limit, I don't believe that there's any way to extend this.
