    If your websites URL is listed in DMOZ, Google ignores your meta tags and refers to the DMOZ info.

    Listen dear, you don't try to change description, because in early days i also get similar problem, In description focus your keywords with limitation of description. It will be sure, you get benefit in search engines.

    Probably Google hasn't indexed your new description yet, wait a few days.

    The webpage itself is few months old so it should have been indexed by now...... So I can't understand why the description does not appear :S

    Create XML site map of your website and put it into root directory of your website with FTP detail.

    It seems that Google's algo has a play here. Is the description displayed when you search for your site when you search for it in other Search Engines?
