Google search engine requires pages to have different description meta tag for different pages. What is the case with open graph meta tags, mainly og:description. Is it also needed to have unique og:description?
Yes! Unless you want your pages to have the same or no description on some sites that read only open graph meta tags, you have to apply different og:description to different pages. But, in terms of Google no.

When I search my website in Google the website tile is shown but my WordPress blog is also shown after my site tile. Why is my WordPress blog appearing after the site title? I didn't mention it on my site then why its shown in search engine.
this is my site link:https://aspaceforme.net/
that is the header code:
" >
">
<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<?php wp_head(); ?>
I think I understand what you're asking now. In the search results, when your site appears, the listing title shows:
Site Title - Page Title
For example:
A Space For Me - Photo Gallery
And you don't want the Page Title appended to the Site Title, is that right?
The simplest solution is to use an SEO plugin, like Yoast SEO, which will allow you to modify the default page title rule, or even change the page titles on a per-page basis.

Meta data profiles
The profile attribute of the HEAD specifies the location of a meta
data profile. The value of the profile attribute is a URI. User agents
may use this URI in two ways: As a globally unique name. User agents
may be able to recognize the name (without actually retrieving the
profile) and perform some activity based on known conventions for that
profile. For instance, search engines could provide an interface for
searching through catalogs of HTML documents, where these documents
all use the same profile for representing catalog entries. As a link.
User agents may dereference the URI and perform some activity based on
the actual definitions within the profile (e.g., authorize the usage
of the profile within the current HTML document). This specification
does not define formats for profiles.
I have a blogspot website. In Blogspot, you can select different themes to view a page (i.e classic, mosaic, flipcard etc.).
In Google Analytics, in All Pages report, all of them are shown separately.
/?view=flipcard
/?view=classic
/?view=mosaic
/?view=magazine
/?view=sidebar
/?view=snapshot
/?view=timeslide
I want to see them as my home page in my reports.
The same thing happens with the sub-pages as well. For example, this is an article in my blog, but I see two different entries in my reports.
/2014/05/deneme.html?view=snapshot
/2014/05/deneme.html?view=mosaic
I want to see all these articles as /2014/05/deneme.html in my reports.
Do I need to create different filters for each and every article in my blog?
What is going to happen if I add new articles, do I need to add the filters right after publishing my article to prevent this happening for my future articles?
Can you help me with the advanced filter setup in Analytics?
Thanks.
Nope, no need to add different filters, just add View to the Exclude Query Parameter option under View > View Settings.
When I use Google to search my own Drupal site I often get the print version of the pages in the results rather than the non-print version.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to prevent it?
For example, Google the following: edition only site:community.screen-scraper.com
At least the first page of results contain links to the print versions of the pages. The distinguishing characteristic of the URLs is the presence of "export".
I do have Clean URLs enabled.
Add rel=nofollow to the links to your print versions. You should also look into setting up conical urls eg http://drupal.org/project/nodewords
In addition to the above you could also add a noindex meta tag to the offending pages (via injecting the meta tag into the header for 'print' pages) and also sort out the pages that you don't want indexed with a robots.txt file.

I have a list of pages that I want to list in the sidebar of my site. I have done it before with some posts and have used tags to automatically generate the list of links that have the specific tag. Since you can not add tags to pages, I am not sure what to use to group pages together and then dynamically generate the list of pages as a select menu in the sidebar. I thought about adding a class to each of the pages, but wasn't sure how that would work exactly. Any thoughts you guys have would be great.
If you want to be able to group and sort them, I would look into creating a "Custom Taxonomy" structure. Smashing Magazine has a good article on them: http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2012/01/04/create-custom-taxonomies-wordpress/
Wordpress itself doesn't support tagging pages likewise in posts. However you can do it by installing a plugin.
Check this link TagPages
This plugin allow you to tag your pages and you will get result like as shown in screenshot. Then you can fetch results on the basis of these tags. Hope this is what you need.
I am wondering what kind of tags can be used in a web page of a blog post to give search bots more clue about what they are looking at.
The ones that I know is as follows :
keywords meta tag
description meta tag
canonical meta tag
Also rel="canonical" link as follows :
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish"/>
Is there any others?
First off, meta description and content tags are no longer used by the major search engines for the purposes of any kind of page/site ranking. However, I still include them because they will probably end up being used for other purposes.
What is more important is your choice of blog post title - I usually put a lot of work into this one thing alone. Next, try and include the blog post title in the URL. Finally, use social media links for all their worth! Quality links back to your blog will reap the most benefit SEO-wise :)
Friendly URLs always help and are included when using BlogEngine.
UPDATE:
To "canonicalize" your URLs, you can use ASP.NET routing or do it like this:

The meta keywords tag has no SEO value of any kind and can be ignored.
The meta description tag does not affect rankings but may be used by Google as the snippet below a page's listing in the search results.
The rel="canonical" tag is used to signify the preferred URL when content can be found using more then one URL.
The robots meta tag can be used to tell search engines not to index certain content or follow links on a page.
Meta tags are very important for websites SEO you can't ignored them.Without these meta tags your site cannot get good SEO score and position on search engines.
important meta tags are following:
1. Meta Title
2. Meta Description
3. Meta Keywords
4. Meat Robots

For Google Panda title is very important. Keywords are not very important but you can use them.
Title, Description and Tags.
