The Other Search Engines

#1 (permalink)

I've noticed it before, and thought that whatever from the search engine it is that decides what from your page to put into the blub... took whatever was on your page at a certain distance from the beginning.

I wonder if it's possible to follow what I mean.

In some of my pages, the early ones, I have a lot of information, then I have my navigation bar in case people are bored, and then I have more information.

Before the navigation bar I've got html for sending my url to someone. And very often the language from the html, "Send this url to your friend" (or something like that) is in my Google/search engine blurb.

How come?

And can I use one of those meta tag creators to write html that's more relevant to the content of my page, and put that there, instead, and have it picked up?

The text snippet is pulled from the visible text on the page where it best matches the users query. If you write a good meta description that matches the phrases that you have optimised the page for that can and will be used instead.

Failing both of these and only the title matches the query phrase, the first 10 to 20 words from the page will be used. This may be the anchor text from your navigation or alt attributes from images.

Forget about these meta creators, write a good description yourself
