Test in <head> grayed out

Mark Flynn

In the head of my index.html page, I inserted this:
<!-- Begin Description -->
<!--
Detailed copy describing the web site. (about 200 words)
-->
<!-- End Description -->

Looking at it on the HTML tab, all of the above text is grayed out.
Question: Am I wasting my time thinking a search engine will notice text
between the "Begin-End Description" tags?

Thanks, Mark Flynn

It's greyed out because it's a comment. As to whether a search engine will
see it, that depends on the seatch engine.

As Kevin stated, the text is in a comment, which will probably be ignored,
but there may be some search engines that will penalise your site for
attempted search engine spamming. A Page description should be in the
<meta name="description" .... > tag; to guarantee search engines will pick
it up a site description should be in full view, not commented out, on the
Home page, as part of the page content.
