Forum Moderators: phranque
My site gets indexed by G, but the short description in G's SERPs is always my site's navigation links. How can I force G to add a specific part of my site's content into this short description?
Thx,

"This page requires frames, but your browser doesn't support them."
"An error ocurred while processing this directive"
another is a seemingly senseless list of words obviously gleaned from links

The first is an unwitting developer that apparently likes frames but doesn't know to use the noframes tag, and the second is a server side include that is broken. Not sure how the last is snarfed. :-D All come from the content of the page and not the meta tags.
I am also not sure if these only appear because the author is **NOT** using meta tags in the document.
I bring up this point because I also wonder precisely which situations cause Google to digest the meta tags. **
So, taking my obvious ignorance into account, I am going to suggest placing the description you wish to be in google at the topmost portion of the textual content of the page, as close as possible to immediately after the body tag and the first H tag. It doesn't have to be visually at the top - but needs to be as close to "first" in the document structure as possible.
**I'm trying to make it a habit to read at least two threads a day from the Google forum . . . .so I'm getting there . . . :-) )
Here's the structure:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<DESCRIPTION>
<keywords>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Pay attention to how long it takes Google to update their listing. That's something that's good to know if you don't watch your logs.
Good Luck!
