    Hi Mike,

    I have not been using your technique, but I will certainly try it out now.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Regards,

    Mike you are so right, anything you can contribute to Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is in your favor and this is definitely one of the areas.

    When you are dealing with Search Engines you need every little bit information to help you with getting people to click your listing from the rest of the noise.

    Good Share, I do it and it works

    Why do you thing article sites, social bookmarking sites, rss sites, all ask for a [meta] Title, [meta] Description, and [meta] Tags??

    Your meta description tag is another place to potentially drive a click to your site. Don't waste the opportunity.

    Google and other SEs will take some text from your page that surrounds the words searched for in preference to using your META description. So here is a little trick that works well and gives you control of your listing by using the META Description tag like Big Mike suggests.

    Target a keyword phrase for your page and and make sure the content is about that subject. Use the keyword term in the title but do not use the exact keyword term anywhere in the body text of the page. ONLY put your exact targeted keyword phrase in your META Description and then when Google is looking for the most appropriate block of text to display it will naturally choose your description, which can also include a call to action "click now to read all about ...." or even contact details like a telephone number etc.

    Test it, I have. You will see that it works great.

      I agree - Everybody wants to know where are the best sites to place free classified ads, and they miss out on the biggest ones of all... Search engines like Google.

      IMO - The meta description should be created in the same way you would a short classified ad.

      Seems to work quite well with PLR content - I found this out by accident. In error I used the same title and meta description on two different but related pages, and noticed Google used the title and meta description on the second article. The first page where I targeted the same keyword throughout was never ranked, and that got me interested.

      I've also experimented with the text surrounding the keyword used in the page text, and in some instances got some pretty interesting listings.

      One one of my sites I noticed the text on the page before the heading was used in the listing. I paced a quote for want of a better term, which contained a short classified ad for the page and included the primary keyword. Google used the text from the "quote" and nothing else from the page...
