http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=Facebook+Morons&aq=f&aqi=g10&oq=&fp=e8d6ef47431c6a4a Facebook Morons the first result, there is only my site url and no description. I set it up too in the Wordpress cpanel. Help please!
There is no need to worry, my site get this too, and now they back to normal. when i add that robots just remember it
if you dont edit the main index file with description, google will pick random description form your blog. if you search for Facebook Morons which is your site, this term will need to be on one of the posts excerpt for google to pick it and use as description. you can either put the description on your blog yourself or let google pick a suitable description for you
because you have <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' /> Code (markup): this is the default setting while you set up your blog but has to be changed once you go live. to fix the problem go to Settings --> Privacy --> Change Blog Visibility to "I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines ..."
you have the problem of your server down or browsing time so spider unable to crawl it.................
I did this, now my robots.txt says: User-agent: * Disallow: Code (markup): that doesnt sound to good haha
it sounds very good actually, since there is nothing listed AFTER the disallow: therefore NOTHING is disallowed ie search engines can now crawl your site.
So im wondering, its still not picked up on Google. I put in the site description under the General settings on WP, even on the SEO mod, and its still not showing up. Do I have to manually put this into the header php of Wordpress?
It needs some time after you edit robots.txt to allow bots to crawl your site and show the changes in search results...might take around a week for new site, its a common problem...thus next time when you set up a blog keep in mind that you need to first change the privacy settings
The idea of Titles/Descriptions is to inform the Reader. From Googles perspecitve - it uses these details to show it's searchers. If it see's Titles/Descriptions that are not relevant - or non-original (you have thesame title on every page etc.), then google may decide to try and create it's own. (It's done that for Descriptions for years, and for titles for some time). Thus - if you had no Title/Description when it crawled, or if you had the same Title/Description on multiple pages, or if you had limp/lame/useless/non-informative Titles/Descriptions (like "Home" or "Welcome" or "index" etc.), Google may decide to try and read your page, and figure something more relevant and helpful to it's users. from http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=2b626fae15f7a1cb&hl=en
Because you did not add description tag in your header, So, add description in your header, and when google crawl again, it will get indexed.
