Today, I no longer use the Another WordPress Meta plugin because the <a href="http://wp.uberdose.com/2007/03/24/all-in-one-seo-pack/">All in One SEO Pack plugin</a> is so much better.</p>
<p><strong>Examples of Terrible Meta Descriptions</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Examples of Good Meta Descriptions</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>
