Google site description

I'm happy...In less than two weeks my site became the first on google for the domain name (some days ago was second).

My question is: where google take the description? Right now it shows the last few lines of my Wordpress page , wich means theme author and his sponsor

How does I change it ? META Tags? Does it exists a tool to do it on wordpress or is it better to do it by hand?

thanks for listening

 

I've always wanted to know this too, I thought it came from the title.

 

do you have the meta description tag in the head section of your page?

<meta name="description" content="Put your page description here" />

 

Mine originally came from the most recent post ... now it comes from DMOZ.org, which I'm fine with.

 

google looks your description . you must edit your meta description .

 

If you have meta description on your blog. Google display the meta description of your blog. But if you don't have meta description, they display some excerpt from your post on your blog.

 

If they display your DMOZ entry, use the NOODP attribute to tell them not to. If they use the first few words on the page, set a description meta tag.

 

Description meta tag will save you some headaches

 

Go for a meta description, but if google found ur content is more relevant then ur meta description for a particular search term then google can shows some parts of ur content instead of ur meta description.

Sources for google can be: metas, dmoz and anchors.

 

The description tag is used sometimes ... though if Google thinks taking a snippet of the text on the page is more relevant to the user's query then it will do that.
