Title/Description in Search Result

Discussion in 'Google' started by thenikhil, Oct 20, 2011.

    While searching in Google I found description of some of the pages of my site is not exactly what I mentioned in the <description> tag in the meta section to the page. Google is fetching description from different part of the page automatically that means first line of description from second paragraph, second line from Alt tag and third line from header menu. Can anyone explain the reason why it is so?

    That's not so bad or is it? Google is showcasing what it found relevant on the page. May be the description you created is not as per its guidelines. Anyways it shouldn't be a cause of concern for you. These things can't be controlled by anyone.

    If your website is hosted on a WordPress blog you can easily change this by using the "All In One SEO Pack" plugin

    Check your Description meta tag. Google read the description from there.
    thanks

    it is not necessary that Google will fetch description from your description tag, Google first time sees your tag but if he found worthy content for keyword you use to search then Google fetch your content. Thats why content is more valuable than tags within a webpage.

    Mr. Smartyjohn is right Google reads first time tags after that reads relevant content.

    This is part of G paying more attension to and better matching what the searching is looking for using any and all of the text on the page indexed. Try changing the on page text and see what happens. Good to test all the time.

    This is a way fo Google to show results, sometimes to show the user the most reliable results for his query, the Search Engine will pick the most related content from the content on the site and display it in the search results.
