    What happens if you have two description meta tags, will it violate google's rules?

    I wouldn't think it would violate any rules. It would most likely use whichever description is parsed last by the crawler and ignore the other one.

    I dnt think so that anyone should use two description. Search engine looks only one so why we are trying to confuse to SE.

    Meta information is the best way to tell the actual information about your website.

    No need of it..No benefit of it.. It is just a waste of time so just try to avoid this strategy.

    If you put two description meta tags in single page, then Google show your 1st description meta tags only.

    I think, if you place two description meta tags on a web page then Google's spider will save first one for reference while second description meta tag will not help you. It will not violate Google's rules but it is also not a standard way of using meta description.

    Why do keep two Meta description Tags? What type of Meta Data do you want to use in the second Meta Description Tag? Do you want to introduce some new things in OnPage SEO?

    Yes we can actually have multiple meta descriptions. It's an old SEO trick and not working anymore.

    Hi Friend,

    If we have use two meta tag description mean Google will take first description of 150 characters only, Remaining all are words will neglect by search engine, Meta tag descriptions are display, when user searches on a particular keywords, that time it shows on two lines under the title.

    No, It's not & no need to do it because google reads only meta description upto 180 char.
