I have a site which Google seems intent on ignoring the meta description for while spidering it. Instead, it'll strip text from the actual site and show that in search results - which is ugly! I provide meta descriptions and keywords in my HTML, so what's the deal?

<meta name="description" content="spam spam spam spam spam spam bogus content spam spam spam bogus content"> Guess why they ignore it? |

So many 13 year old Jasons putting every conceivable word in their meta description wastes SO much of my time... searching for a technical term and a website comes up that has NOTHING to do with it because the meta description happened to have that term (along with porn, britney spears, youtube etc.) They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Does Google ignore words that are the same color as the background (or similar) or words that are too small (or which are more cleverly hidden)?

The googlebot requests CSS files, so it's possible that some additional spam checks are made. I don't know how advanced they would bother making it. There are countless ways of making text invisible to a human that a bot would have a hard time picking up. |

Then how has allegro.cc's Google result come to read: Quote: Game developing community network, software directory, and up to date information pertaining to Allegro programming and gaming.

Because you just searched on the URL, with nothing for it to grab from the site's content? -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |
