Lots of very useful content in here, but I have another question. I went back and re-read (for the umteenth time) the Developing Effective META Description Elements linked to above.

Regarding Front Loading - I have mostly always used the main keywords from the front of the Title element as the first keywords in the META Description. Is this also a Front Loading tactic, or not? Lately I've gotten concerned that the first 4-5 words of the Title and META Desc. being identical might cause a problem.

I'm re-writing many, many desc. right now to try to sort all the dup issues out on a site, but I want to do it right this time around. So is it better to front load both the title and meta desc., or is it better to take those keywords from the title and stick them somewhere maybe in the middle of the desc.? Also thinking here about the "vary your title and meta desc." thing.

Was thinking maybe this should be a new thread, but not sure?
