Hi Guys, In my last post, I have explained you why meta tags are important for getting the blog content indexed by search engines. You can refer to my previous article and then come back here. Choosing Good meta tags is very important for any webmaster.  The ‘Keyword’ meta tag and the description meta tag is what determines the position of your site’s listing on search engines.

How is Description Meta Tag used by Search Engines

Before giving tips on choosing meta tags, let me explain what search engines do using the ‘Description’ meta tags that we provide. OK, lets say I have typed in”enhanceblogger.blogspot.com” in google search engine. Here is a screenshot of how it appears.

Have a look at it. The short description which is present below the heading is exactly the same meta description which I have added to my template. So, we can say that google extracts the “description meta tag” and shows to visitors in this way. Let me show you another screenshot which is not SEO optimised.
