Is there a mod to do this with regular meta tags?

Currently when I share a link from my forums at a non facebook site it defaults to my TLD and basic description...

@xertox : So it works with Facebook ? What meta details you see in seocentro ?
PM me the forum URL.

@sivaganeshk The information appears to be correct in SEOcentro...

Title: 70 Muhammad Ali talks man down from a ledge - 1981 - Fatwillie.Net Forums

Description: 190 Muhammad Ali turns 70 today. Here's some amazing footage of him stopping a suicide attempt in 1981. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNuT...eature=related Happy Birthday Muhammad!

Keywords: 181 muhammad ali, video, muhammad, stopping, footage, attempt, happy, birthday, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knut...eature=related, amazing, suicide, today, talks, ledge, turns

Here's the thing though. When I share a link to twitter or meebo the preview only pulls the info you see in the attachment I provided using the same URL I used in centro.

When I click the twitter button(via AddThis) above the first post - right corner, it shows the Title of the thread in the tweet.

Same goes for me... but if you submit the tweet, it looks like this. One thing I did notice though is that my meta tags are missing some information...

Code:

<meta property="" content="xxxxx" />



<meta property="" content="Fatwillie.Net - Forums" />



<meta property="" content="Media for People Who Like Media" />



<meta property="" content="http://www.fatwillie.net/forum/showthread.php?3749-Yesterdays-SOPA-Blackout-Was-a-Total-Success" />



<meta property="" content="article" />

There is no information in property="" That seems a little odd. Plus there is two more meta tags a little further down.

Code:

<meta name="keywords" content="blackout, sopa, success, relief, support, shifted, http://boingboing.net/2012/01/19/how...kout-affe.html, breathing, total, yesterdays" />



        <meta name="description" content="I'm breathing a sigh of relief now that SOPA support has shifted.

Did you install any other SEO plugins or make changes in header ?
It feels like Twitter , meebo and few others pulls the meta property that is available first on the page.

Try to *undo* any edits in template

I just discovered that changing the facebook_opengraph template makes my meta tags go from this....

Code:

<meta property="fb:app_id" content="xxxxxxx" />



<meta property="og:site_name" content="Fatwillie.Net - Forums" />



<meta property="og:description" content="Media for People Who Like Media" />



<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.fatwillie.net/forum/showthread.php?3749-Yesterdays-SOPA-Blackout-Was-a-Total-Success" />



<meta property="og:type" content="article" />

To this...

Code:

<meta property="" content="xxxxxxx" />



 <meta property="" content="Fatwillie.Net - Forums" />



 <meta property="" content="Media for People Who Like Media" />



 <meta property="" content="http://www.fatwillie.net/forum/showthread.php?3749-Yesterdays-SOPA-Blackout-Was-a-Total-Success" />



 <meta property="" content="article" />

I'm no expert but I am pretty sure it's not supposed to do that... Once I reverted my opengraph template my meta tags returned to normal...

I'm using 4.1.10

Does this work with the most recent 4.2.0 ?

Any input is much appreciated!

Should work fine since there is no change in template code.

Try it yourself or else revert to original.

I have installed vbSEO , so it provides built-in meta option.

Why are people working on meta tags, all the big search engines ignore them now, Google, Bing and Yahoo use algorithm's to work out page titles and threads.

It doesn't do anything for Search Engine Ranking Position. The most prominent use of Meta description in a page is, It is the text that will be displayed in Search Result near the link. If it is not relevant (other than thread info), users may ignore your page.
