Meta Decriptions May Affect Your Google Rankings

Just dashing into AR to let you know I've got a few new postings on SEO Diva that I hope you haven't missed.

The most recent is about your site's meta descriptions. I think these are more important than many people give them credit for. Be sure to check out the post for more information.

I've also listed some great blog and paid directories for you to check out. The most recent is the Clush Directory, which seems to carry some real weight in backlinks and is inexpensive to boot. One of my commenters (another SEO specialist) made a really good point when he said if it generates even a few clicks a year it has paid for itself when compared to other CPCs.

If you sign up for the Diva's RSS feed you won't miss a thing! And don't forget to leave comments at the Diva blog - they're all followed, so you'll get backlink credit for them.

Thanks Kay - I just returned from SEO Diva. Your post was simple, to the point and really shed light on meta descriptions. I really didn't "get it" until I read this. THANK YOU!

Lyn - Keep plugging along like you're doing and it will all come together. BTW, don't make everything match - think "complementary" instead. Use a variety of your targeted keywords in your title/description/pics etc.

Bob - You're welcome.

Steven - Glad to be of help to you.

Virginia - Meta tags confuse people, probably because they can't see them. They are important, though.

Marchel - Boy, don't I know it!

Konnie - Awesome girl - that's what I like to hear. Internet leads!!! It sounds like it's coming together for you.

Lynda - Check it out and spend the $20 bucks. I've been hearing very good things about this directory.

Debbie - Cool - I'm glad you "got it!"

Eric - I have been hearing excellent things about the Clush directory customer support. I think the pages are a great bonus. Glad you've got me in your RSS feed.

Hi Kay I have had a link with Clush now for about nine months. I am going to head over and see what other sites you are recommending.

I went to the Diva RSS feeds. I am just lost when it comes to some of these things. As soon as I think I understand the widgets I run into information that makes me change my mind. I guess I will have to keep learning.
