Meta Description Tags

<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Description of your site">

The page description is usually produced along with the page title in the organic results pages (SERPs) of a search engine query. Some search engines use the first few lines of text on a page as a description if this tag is absent, so also ensure that paragraph one of your page is relevant.

As with the Keywords Meta Tag, be careful not to repeat terms too often to avoid rankings being penalized. This tag is not only used for search engine spiders, but also may be the text that appears as a result of an Internet user's search engine query. Here is the challenge - to create a description meta tag that not only is attractive to robots, but also to humans.

Keep your most important terms at the beginning of each description meta tag statement and try to have a different relevant statement for each page of your web site.

It is very important whenever you submit your sites in directory which will be given as the summary of your site in directory search results, similar to that of search engine results.
