Google search results

[r]

Guys, I am I a bit confused…

When Google brings my site (www.fixyourwindows.com) in it’s search results, I can see title of my pages, but for description it lists my Copyright information from the bottom of the page instead of information in my tags, or something from the body.

To reproduce the described behavior, please enter “fixyourwindows†in Google Search field, and then click “repeat the search with the omitted results included†link at the bottom.

Thanks a lot for your help!

1. because Google indexes pages using the title tag and the actual content on the page.
2. Google essentially ignores "keywords" which by the way you have overdone.
iirc the ideal number of keywords is 25 per page

Steve,

Thanks a lot for your reply and the keyword tip. I'll definitely clean keyword tag on my index.htm.

I am (to certain extend) aware of general Google habits, but I don't know why it takes Copyright line at the bottom of pages, and displays it in search results. And looking for a solution that would allow me to replace it with something more relevant to my page content.

Thanks again for your help.

Tom,

I used "fixyourwindows". It's been around only for 15 days or so...
For more details, please see my original post.

Thanks a lot!

Some things to keep in mind.
Google indexes the readable text in the page, text in images isn't indexed, and your keywords should
match the readable text.

Also, try to think like the person who's using Google. Aunt Jenny in Orlando most likely isn't
going to enter fixyourwindows ( all one word ) in Google search but is more likely going to enter
"fix my windows" or "fix windows." Which unfortunately, is going to return list of 100,000
companies wanting to sell her new storm windows for her house.

Having a unique word in your keywords that will return your page in search results is kind of fun,
and a way to see if your page / site is indexed, but other than that it's fairly useless to a
potential viewer trying to find your site.
