How do I write my own description

theundpilotguy · 11-02-2005, 11:38 PM

Hey guys,
When I search for my site on google this is what I get for the summary: "The time now is Fri Oct 28, 2005 11:47 am The Daily Student Forum Index View unanswered posts ... computer related topics, computer help and..."

My question is, how can I write my own summary or how can I get google to index another description? Thanks

Add some words in META tags, which aren't as effective as they were few years ago, that should do.

<META name="description" content="write your description here">
Put that in between <HEAD></HEAD> tags on the page.

Also it will take awhile before the description changes, until Google spots it
