Forum URL: classictvland.proboards50.comok,i've asked this before & it seems that when there's an SEO question the replies are pretty typical,i'll ask again as maybe i just need to wait longer to get a more indepth answer,here's my question. when my board was spidered everything was cool except the description in the listing,my title read what I wanted it to but my description was all mixed up with info from my footers,HOW do I get my description listed instead of this other stuff? I have used meta tags which worked with a few search engines but when google finally comes around & yahoo I'm afraid my site will be listed with the WRONG description! also,I use what they call "meta tag analyzers" this tool detects and reads my meta tag info and tells me if my keywords,title & content is fine or not,WHY do these analyzers detect ONLY my title and not my keywords or description? I have used ONE tool that actually detected everything but the rest do not,can we PLEASE get someone in here that knows something about search engines? I am tired of the same'ol "it takes time,they will eventually index your site" type answers,that is not what I am asking here,I am asking something specific,HOW do I Get a description listed for my board? HOW do get ALL my meta tag detected instead of just the title? any help would be appreciated..

Search engines like google and yahoo dont use meta tags anymore because they are easily faked, that would why they appear to be useless
Those serach engines actully index based on the content of the pages, and links made to the pages
Descriptions in meta tags arnt going to show up, however things on the page itself will

In your headers do not put <html><head> or </head></html> These things are already done at the begining of your header by default and you putting them in your header only messes things up. I'd almost bet that's what's causing your issues. You have them in your header twice and in your footer once. Remove them. -Moridian
