  • Hard to speed up google. If it were only that easy.

    Google is not forced to show your selected description.
    They can choose what they think it is, even if you
    changed.

    Eventually, your website will get crawled more often.

    Your keyword probably does not have anywhere near
    the searches that you think it does.

    You need to be more optimized for keyword phrases and
    longer search terms.

    Being #5 or even #1 for that matter, is no guarantee of any
    traffic if there are none such searchers.

    I should also add that people search for things and google
    has to come up with possibilities. Sometimes they don't
    get what a searcher wants.

    This may be your case. People are doing a search for x,
    and actually want x+y. Your site being only x gets no
    clicks. The trick is to optimize for x+y+z.

    I like to play around with this by doing a search on google
    and seeing what suggestions google comes up with.

    Many people get snookered into being shown a site ranks #5
    for X and think it will lead to riches.

  • I have a site thats keyword is supposed to get 27k searches per month. I have had 73 impressions! Is there an accurate keyword tool?
  • I have a site that is #6 on Google and doesn't get much traffic too, whether it's because the description just isn't enticing enough or whether the sites above me are too strong that people just don't get past those - who knows.
    If you said your description isn't very good then that would be the first thing to change and see if it makes any difference, that is a fairly quick and easy change to make.
  • Even though a good site will get most if its traffic from the long tail, it doesn't hurt to eek out better performance by targeting some specific keyword phrases, and that's what the rest of this page is about. But as you read, bear in mind that the keywords you're targeting are not the be-all and end-all of how you expect visitors to find your site.
  • Hey guys, is there anyways i can block the Google snippet? i mean is there a way i can stop Google from choosing my description?
  • You can choose it yourself with the meta description tag. I input what I wanted my site's tagline on google and other SE's to be and they will pick this up and use it.

    This is why the meta description tag is still very important. It can help influence whether people click your site.
