How To Edit Your Meta tags

Are you having funny results in search engine showing weird title and description about your website pages? It is easy to modify these details if you know the way. Of course, for wordpress you can use All In One SEO Pack plugin to edit meta title, description and keywords for each blog post and blog pages you create. For those bloggers who have not install this plugin in your wordpress, I strongly suggest you to do so. Always, declare description, title and keywords for each blog post you write on your blog.

This is a basic editing that many do not know how to do. For website owners, you can go to the particular page source code file (.php/.asp/.htm/.html). Edit below lines as you wish to be:

<meta name="description" content="Description That You
Want To Appear-Make It Range Of 250-350 Characters" />

<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2,
keyword3, keyword4..." />On Site

Now, you can edit meta tags on any webpages or blog pages that looks funny in search engine. Having a good onsite SEO with proper meta tags is the first step in any SEO activity. Then, you can go for link building.

Keep in mind that Google does not care about the keywords meta tag. So don’t spend too much time on that part.

It does appear in search results which explains why your visitors should click that link. I think it is important to declare this.

While Google “may not care” about your website using meta tags, Google may and does quite often (if they are available) use the meta tags when displaying search results.

This presents the perfect opportunity to use language that persuades a potential guest to visit your website. Otherwise, Google displays “snippets” of your on-page text in search results, of which you have little control in how to modify.

That’s not quite correct. Google only ignores the keyword meta tag. Title and description is still given its share of weight to PR and ultimately SERP.

I do agree though with writing your description for visitors and not for search engines. The descritpion should be compelling so that the searcher is interested enough in clicking on your link and not the next one in the list with a more compelling description.

Title’s though should be a mix of keyword, relevance and compelling message. After all this is usually what the visitor sees first but also what the search engines look at when ranking that particular page.

Thanks for the clarification Andrew. I should have been more mindful in my response. I do realize that Google doesn’t use the specific keyword meta tag for positioning purposes and was basing my response on using description meta tags. I originally (mis)read that “cash” was speaking of meta tags in general. Again, thanks for clarifying. I wouldn’t want to spread any SEO myths unintentionally.

I was using All in 1 SEO but I found that it started having issues when I check my Google webmaster tools. Too often Google will see short description and short title tags.

I recently changed to Headpspace2.
http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/headspace2

In my opinion it kicks all in 1 seo in the butt.

It will even import all your settings from All in 1 SEO but it just has so much more scope and now Google is reindexing and webmaster tools is starting to see things correctly once again

IMHO, some search engines still read from the meta description and its good that it should be filled up properly. Just be choosy in what description to set and make it as catchy and real.

I agree. Even google reads it. I noted that all my declared description and title appears as I have input it in All In 1 Seo pack plugin.

“For those bloggers who have not install this plugin in your wordpress, I strongly suggest you to do so. Always, declare description, title and keywords for each blog post you write on your blog.”

Oh, so that’s what it is. I’ve always wondered where those text come from because when I visit the site, I can’t seem to locate the text as it appeared in my search. Thanks! I also just started a blog at Wordpress and I’ll be following tips on how to insert these tags.
