Meta descriptions are being used by google when you use site:domain.com but only for the simple purpose of displaying a description of a website when it's matched. It is not used in ranking.

For example. This is just a small scale example to illustrate my point.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search

I know that there is a review on my site which discusses norton-antivirus. So say if someone searched for "norton" on google, the result-text from google will not include the meta description but it'll include a snippet of the matched text from your content.

This really serves no benefit.

Hello...

Umm so finally should we install it??
Will it bring something good? with meta tag or description?

Thanks

Hello,

This plugin is inspired from the ideas of T2DMan (Micheal Brandon) (www.time2dine.co.nz). Just have a look at his forums for his keywords and be amused. :)

I fail to adhere to dear Dean C's observations. Metatags mainly tell a search engine: what to expect in the contents of that page? If you have word, "norton" in your keywords as well as in the description in first few words, then the search engine will be suggested to focus on "norton" keyword in the contents of that page. This means that although in the google search the metatags description does not show up but it still guided the search engine to map your page's content as a page dedicated to word "norton". Please have a look at the number of memberships on my forum and i would like to tell you that most people are finding my forums through google search only (95%+). For example, my website is based on "Sikhism" but unfortunately now i rank around 100 for this keyword after the jagger update but even then there are many other keywords, where my website features prominently on top searches and i getting new members all the time, although those words have nothing to do with my websites theme i.e. sikhism.

EDIT: Beauty of this plugin is that if you dont want to enter keywords, you can also enter a small description in the keywords box.

Practically, i see no harm in search engines mapping my webpage based on a forums theme. Benefits in will surely occur in the long run. :)

Choice is yours. Enjoy !!

Thanks Neutral..
would u mind to describe some more...
such as.. seo.
Google site map gen: just generate the site map..
vbranking: convert php - html.

and this will add meta tag/keywords for each & every forum? This will generate Auto?
From where this will collect surce of metatag?
In Acp there are way to put key-words or meta tag & description...but it work for whole forum.

This hack will add separately???

Plz help us ....

Thanks
You will have to enter keywords by going to Admin CP > Forum Manager > Edit any Forum > Go towards the bottom of the screen. There you can see two new boxes, one is for keywords and other is for description.

For example:

Your forum name is : Sikh Youth
In Admin CP > Forum Manager > Edit a forum > goto bottom > Enter Special Keywords : sikh,youth,sikh youth
In Admin CP > Forum Manager > Edit a forum > goto bottom > Enter Special Description :
Sikh Youth of Today

Try similar pattern on your forums and view source to checkout the results. Enjoy !!

At the end of the day Aman, SEO boils down to your content. The better your content, the better your ranking. And it seems you have a lot of good content. I have extreme doubts that this plugin has helped your ranking whatsoever :)

Snake 12-31-2005 12:53 PM

Excellent! I was looking forward to this. :D

GamerJunk.net 12-31-2005 06:07 PM
