Seems like my site CarsWallpapers.net nicely indexed on google, but the descriptions are weird. Check here: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.carswallpapers.net Instead of using the description meta tag to show descriptions for the indexed pages, it shows the download counters from the page.. Any idea why is it happening and how can i fix it ? Thanks, E-A.
It's using the text on the page. If you can change that text to something a bit more relevant to what the pictures are about, that would definitely help with SEO. You may also want to change the descriptions to a somewhat longer, natural sounding sentence (instead of two short sentences that sound like they are keyword stuffed).
Thank you for your input. I had no idea that google takes the descriptions from the content. I was sure it's from the Description META tag... I can change the descriptions, but i guess i can't do much about the counters. I'll see if i can add text to each category about the car model...
You can also try putting your description in the first 100 characters of your page. So far, this method is very effective in my sites.
