For those who already visit this blog quite often, probably you have notice a new link on the navigation bar above. Yes, I’m going to introduce my custom-made Meta Description Generator, which I share with you all for free. If you already have an idea of what it does, then just go ahead while I’m going to give the explanation here.

Start asking yourself for a quick-sec.

When you search for something through the search engine, you don’t think that at that same time the search engine start to search the whole web. Don’t you?

Of course not! As a matter of fact, the search engine performs a query (based on your ) into their database and then display all the relevant records on the SERP. And this database is a collection of every content they find on the internet. It’s a common knowledge that Google (or any other search engine) crawls the web – including your blog – in order to populate their database, the purpose for this database to exists is to  to provide you with “search results” when you try to search something on Google (or Yahoo! or Ask.com, etc.)

Search Engines Crawl the Web

Okay, now, when the search engine bot (spider-bot, or web-crawler) perform their routine. They would see if your page(s) does provide them with the essential information regarding the web-page(s). Those information usualy is written as meta-tags. Basically, there are two things that they see:

  • Title
    This is the title for your post, or article.
  • Description
    And this is a brief explanation about the content. Usually 160 characters in lenght length.

If those meta-tags are nowhere to be found, then the search engine bots will just get your whole content (I can’t imagine the hardship they have to endure by doing this).

When people perform a search on one of the so-many search engines available out there, they will see the two things you’ve made. See the picture below:

The first line is the Title (with the link available to be clicked), and the smaller-size text below it is called the description. Now, if you don’t make your meta-tag (for title and description) then the result would probably won’t give your future-visitor a clear meaning of the page, because google just show if any of the keyword is there to be found in any record they store. So I suggest you start writing by taking in use these meta tags.

    Ya, that’s fine,but tools does not provide accurate result as manually we can do. So according to me try to avoid such things.

      Everything that you do manually – humanly – provide the best results. That’s for sure, this tool I provide is just one thing that some might find useful. Not all the time, if I may say. But it works for some.
