Snippets getting your goat?

22 May, 2008 (08:46) | Uncategorized

You’ve spent hours and hours coming up with great META DESCRIPTIONS for your pages, thinking that you’ve got the right hooks in there to pull people in. Then Google comes along and decides it’s going to pull what seems like some random text from the body of the page and completely ignores your description.

Well it’s easily solvable, all you need is to add the following meta tag to your page:


<META NAME=”GOOGLEBOT” CONTENT=”NOSNIPPET”>

This simply tells Google not to use a snippet, Bob’s your uncle!
