One thing is clear that in practical use, Excerpt ( herem talking about Manually excerpt) and Meta Description are both two different section. (Not sure, if its also for the Program code)
And i know how and where and when to use.!

But, no idea how the search engine treats this two in comparative..??

So, What if i use the same content both for Excerpt and Meta Description, how will the SE treat them..???

    meta description is completely irrelevant. Write whatever you want in it.

    Just got back from a #BrightonSEO. I was given room 404 in the hotel I stayed at. Couldn’t find it anywhere!

      Thanks for your FeedBack..!

      So what would be more beneficial in terms of SEO..

      Giving more important on manually Excerpting (approaching and optimized with keyword) or rather, SEO is not depended on both of the two term ?

    Apart from title other metal tags appear not valued these days, just describe what would attract your visitor to click your link.

    Meta descriptions are important, they are used by search engine bots to check if the page is related to user’s query or not. It really doesn't matter if the Meta description and Excerpt are same. What matter is, if they are relevant to the page or not.
