Cloning Description Tags

Jim,

I think this is a great idea, tell me why it’s not.

When I search the engine comes up with a link of the title and full sentences or a couple or more of partial sentences. When it comes up with partial sentences I can find them in the text on the site. But many times when full sentences show in the search engine results, I can’t find the sentence in the page.
Well I came across this on my own site. What I found was that the sentences I found in the search results that I couldn’t find on the site were the descriptions in the description tags of the site.

So here’s the great idea, if your description in your description tag is good enough for a description tag, you should have the description in the text of your site. I’m aware that at the top of the browser is a copy of the title tag, but it is not the description tag. Also, because you cant really describe a page in 160 characters, a lot of descriptions tags are the main or most important point of the whole page, not a description of the whole page. Certainly you want the most important point or the main point of your page on your page.

This is also very important because, I think, the description should include all of the words/phrases in your page that have a keyword density of 2% or more. Such density often centers around the main point of your page.

Thanks,

Roger
