An excellent insightful post by Jill. i have stated many times that descriptions can help or hinder users clicking through to your site just as much as the title tag when viewed in the serps.
A lesson learnt that Google pulls descriptions from DMOZ too. Well I didn't know that before pardon me. Anyway thanks for sharing the informative post. :)
Well, Emma, ya need to read the newsletter! In the one before this one, I talked about that very subject (Google using DMOZ descriptions)! :)
Nice article, a friend of mine and myself where having an argument yesterday about this very issue. So thanx for clearing it up. P.s I was rite
I am still in the starter stages with my site and I add continuous content almost daily. Instead of having to go back and revise a whole bunch of META's and copy to appeal to the SE"s for snippets, I will only need to revise a handful now.
Thanks for posting this. *>)
I stopped google from using my DMOZ description (and yahoo from using my Yahoo Directory description) a long time ago because making DMOZ updates takes too damn long.
I was suprised no one has posted the actual code. then I tried my self and spinn makes it ahrd to do this. But here it goes.
META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOODP"
or
META NAME="msnbot" CONTENT="NOODP"
Of course you would use the start tag character before META and end tag character after NOODP". Thios text editor won't let me use the actual character. :)
