Hi everyone.

I've recently made some changes to my title and description.

I used something like:

title : "name of the site" - used widget1, widget2 and widget3.

desciption: used widget1, used widget2, used widget3.

Do you think this maybe considered spamming?

It corresponds to what the site is about but I'm afraid it maybe considered spamming.

I also have a lot of links from directories and other websites with my description and URL on them.

Any thoughts?

thks in abvance :)

Without knowing the full extent of you content and repetition I think the changes will be fine and won't be penalised as spam. I don't think its spamming.

My advice:

1. Make your title aim towards your main keyword term - keep it simple and straight to the point. Putting every keyword you can think of or simply listing is a really bad technique in my opinion.

2. If your META tag is being used by the SE for your description make sure it will sell your site. You can probebly find where the SE is taking its description from and working on this might work to sell you site more.

As for the links - internal links from related sites with the right anchor text should do the trick. Directories in some instances are alright I have found but some you have to be careful of.

Good luck with your site and may Google be with you.

I like to put keyword phrases in the title that sound natural. For example, instead of my title stating: Affordable Hosting, Web Design, Low Cost Servers. The title might read: Affordable Web Design & Hosting Plans.
