Why You Need to Use Meta Descriptions

Last October, I wrote a post at my internet marketing blog about the importance of meta descriptions.

My previous post was inspired by Google webmaster blog’s post on meta descriptions. Today, I no longer use the Another WordPress Meta plugin because the All in One SEO Pack plugin is so much better.

Examples of Terrible Meta Descriptions

I forgot to add the meta descriptions when I posted the content above. This is how ugly it looks in Google.com at the moment. I hope Google will clear their cache and retrieve my latest meta descriptions for these pages soon.

Examples of Good Meta Descriptions

I remembered to enter the meta description for the posts above and see how different they look in the search engines. A tiny bit of effort really makes a lot of difference in the search engines. A good meta description encourages searchers to click through to your web site if your description is enticing enough.
