    Hello. Few days ago I bought wordpress site with more that 4k post. This Site have one problem.. All posts don't have Meta descriptions and meta keywords.
    I heard that google, with new algorithm does not using it, but I am not sure about it. I need advice from person who definitely know do description and keywords making any difference or not?

    Thank you!

    They make a difference. When your page appears on the result page of Google, there is your title and description. It is always more likely if it is optimized text to catch the visitor rather than random text extract automatically by Google if the meta is missing ...

    Forget about the meta keywords because Google do not consider this. Focus on creating an enticing description for your targeted audience because it will serve as your rich snippet in the search results and attractive as well as good guidelines description will increase click through rate and improve popularity for your wordpress site.

    You can even omit the description, Google itself will take a description of the page's content.

    In my accordance both the meta keyword and description are the important part of on page optimization. If Google do not give any value to the keywords than how is it possible to find the related website.

    Meta description is only to attract the user, when they see some useful stuff in the snippet when they serach some keywords but they play a important role in website promotion.

    Well. Not exactly true. If the website is good opimized, then in the SE's you will see the title and a PART of the description (in most cases this is WHERE you keyword is!). Yes, it would be better if your website has good meta tags for descr and keywords, but I won't do it for more than 4k posts... ;)

    Meta Keywords are no more necessary for some SE's but Description should be optimized for tittle and for the content.

    Description is the one thing that people see on a search engine when looking for your site, so yeah, it should be well thought of.

    Hey hi ,
    Keywords are most important for any website to come up with Google first page. because whenever any stranger search on the internet then the result shown by the search engine is according to the keywords that are used by the stranger.
    So, we should use proper meta keywords in our site for better outcomes.

    Put yourself into your perspective visitor's shoes. If they see an unclear snippet of the text in search engine results, there would be fewer chances that they will click on such a listing. You want to show them a clear title and a clear description of what that respective page is about. So, update page titles and add meta descriptions.

    You can't get rank without putting description and keyword. Keyword and Description are most impotent thing in SEO.

    First you need to research keyword and add description in your site.

    As soon as you put keyword just make quality backlinks to your site.


    Good Luck...!

    If you really want to stand a good chance of ranking on the SERP
    then you need to optimize your web pages.

    With Wordpress what you can do is to add the "all in one seo"
    plugin and then optimize only the main pages you need
    since optimizing the whole page would be a hell of a problem.

    Don't listen to the myth that onpage SEO is now ineffective.

    I think description and title are the two most important factors to grab those clicks! They can help you to rank and at the same time to attract the visitors while they read the results page.

    Forgot Meta keyword.... Google doesn't care it now. Use "All in one SEO" Plugin on your wordpress site. It will create meta description for your all post. Try to use your keyword on your Post title & also use keyword on your article's (1-2) line.
