Google Site Description

    I am wondering why the site description for my page on google is what it is, no where on my site have I put that text. I am using word-press and have even edited the meta description to

    "PlanetRaid is your one-stop source for all your World of Warcraft News, Updates, Guides, Strategies, Downloads, Discussion, and much more."

    but on google when you search it displays it as;

    "A blog providing readers with quality guides, strategies, news, opinions, analysis, community, and discussion."

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=...avclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGLL_enUS368US368&ie=UTF-8

    Would anyone have any ideas why?

    If the meta description is irrelevant for the sites content and have no relevancy with the site then Google gets the description from somewhere else. These text usually came from DMOZ and other very trustabole (old human edited directoryes). I suggest reviev the meta description and get some links for your site with various and relevant anchor text.

    Cheers,

    creating a new site map and submitting it to google webmaster tools might also help.

    yeah, i m completely agree with those replies because your website meta keywords are irrelevant then search engine fetch his own self meta details for our website and right now your meta descriptions showing DMOZ details, so you can use no follow robot text then this ll not happen
