META TAGS for web search

[creativetouchescanada]

Ok, No that the site is up and i am in listing on google....

When i type in for ex. creative touches clay.... i see the site but under it list the links which are text links..... i have added a page description to my pages but what i wrote is not coming up.... plus LOL when i posted it to show my mom but so know one else could see it i had a rough (this is more or less where we will but text areas with just blah blah blah in it) and that is actually coming up in the google discription instead of what i want it to say....

ok so where am i going wrong... do i put a discription in the page properties or is that wrong

go into BV and right click OUTSIDE of your site area, then click on page properties and enter your page title, description and keywords as from what I can see you have none of these. This should improve it then.

Do it for every page by the way

I think what I am understanding from what you are saying is that at that time google crawled your site, this is what was on your site, it doesn't automatically change for some time. It just all depends what they find when they crawl your site, they will crawl again and will find your new page content ... and yes you do put a description in your page properties, like you have.

Re: META TAGS for web search

Google will sometimes use a description it chooses best represents the search results from your page instead of the description you would like it to use. There is nothing you can do about this. I hope that makes some sense to help you.

I got the same sort of thing. If you google ufindabiz, you see bits and pieces from forum posts. Naturally this is not want we want people to see. Where you able to remove your "blah,blah,blah" (lol)? Or did you have to wait until the SE picked up your page the way you wanted it to? If you were able to remove the Blah Blah, how did you do it?

Lucy,
Actually that's because that's about all the se's can find about you. As your site is around longer and you have more links out there to it - you won't be seeing many of the posts from forums. And don't expect people to see those - as they aren't going to find you by your name - they don't know it.

Thanks Beth,

May I just take this opportunity to say that you have been so very helpful!

I have been with VH for about 2 months now (I think) and I have been reading alot of the forums to learn as much as I can.

Your posts are most helpful! Please keep up the good work. It makes us "newbie's" life so much easier!

Take care and have a great day!
