Overview: The
Description Tag is a
general description of
what is contained in
your webpage
Search engines that
support META tags will
often display the
Description META tag
along with your title in
their results. Search
engines will often
capture the entire META
tag of your description
field, but webmasters
should bear in mind that
when a search engine
displays the results to
a user, the space is
limited, usually under
20 words which you can
use to grab the
attention of a user. For
this reason, when
creating your META tags,
webmasters should make
the first sentence of
their description field
to capture the attention
of a user and use the
rest of the description
tag to elaborate
further.
Search Engines Usage
The Description and
Keyword META Tags are
the two principle META
tags that search engines
look for when indexing
your website. The
description and keywords
that you provide are
likely the words that
will show up in results,
so make sure that you
put the most energy and
thought into the text
you use to describe your
website.
