    Hi.

    This is my blog, www.ganchinhock.com and I'm using All in One SEO Pack plugin to set my meta description. It's working but the description is placed in between two annoying sentences and words of my random blog post. Kindly refer to the attachment below.

    Please provide me a solution for this. Thank you.

    Google doesn't necessarily show the exact meta description that is on your website or blog every time. Whenever any keyword is searched Google may show the the excerpt of the content on your page as description, if nothing relevant is found in the Meta Description related to search query.

    In the above case Keyword searched is "ganchinhock", while the present meta description on your blog is "Technology updates, computer freebies and a little fun for all computer users" which is not related to the keyword searched and hence Google has taken meaningful sentences or excerpts from your content according to the searched query.

    One more advice I want to give it that that you have used Meta Description on your blog but your title is still "GanChinHock.com". I suggest you to use some meaningful title for your blog.

    you can change the description according to your requirements................but google will crawl your whole content.......and when you search with a particular term then it show the content also from the page where your search term may exists................................ and you can change the setting of all in one seo plugin just click on it in your admin panel...............and if you don't want the keywords of your blog in the last of your post title you can remove them from the admin panel...............
