Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

    When I type in You Talk Sports on google it comes to my site.

    Link: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=You+Talk+Sports&btnG=Google+Search

    The description says; Find out the last news and notifications posted by the You Talk Sports staff. ... Do you have a suggestion that you feel might make You Talk Sports better? ...

    I want it to say; Your #1 Sports Forum


    How do I change that? I put meta tags on the forum 5 days ago and google has been on it since. But nothing has changed.

    Even though google has crawled your page, i think it takes time for it to update in the search results.

    Once you updated your description/meta tag, submit a sitemap to google and then just wait until the next time googlebot hits your site ;)

    your description is to short.
    your index has good paragraphs,so it may ignore your meta description altogether.

    have the description long enough that it will fit the two lines in google.

    Change your title tag to "Your #1 Sports Forum" - That's will fix it.

    I agree
    and then it might take a few days for the next cache,, you might change a word or two on that page as well.
