One of the first and simple steps you should take right after creating your blog is adding a meta description for your blog.

These are some of the steps that help Search Engines recognize your content so that they can list your content for the right searches and also it helps the readers to choose the content.

Today in this post i will guide you how you can enable the meta description for your blog as well as we will discuss some factors that why should you enable meta description for your blog.


Why Should You Enable Meta-description (plus points) : -

So I have short listed some of the plus points that will help your blog grow just by enabling this meta description, take a look on these below: -


1.Google and others search engines like to index sites having the meta description as they give them a better idea what the content is providing is to it's readers.

If you read the Google S.E.O  Book  which was I guess released in between 2011-2012 discusses the meta description as one of the important facts to make your blog S.E.O friendly.

According to Google S.E.O book the meta description is important because if Google is unable to find some words matching to the search query than this meta description will be used in the search results which will give an idea to the searchers what kind of content are you offering in the post.

Talking about this book, I will say that it is a great way for new bie's to learn about some of the basic but most important facts that can lead to their blogging success.

I will highly recommend my readers to read this book as it will give you a great idea what search engine optimization (S.E.O) is about.

2.As i mentioned in the last point that meta description could be used in the search results by Google if they are unable to find some words in your content matching to the search query which will give a better impression on the searcher that your content has the stuff which the searcher is searching.

Basically it's about making the content reader's friendly and when you will make your content reader's friendly than for sure Google and other search engines would like to index your content and rank it higher as these sites are always looking to provide content that is reader friendly.

So we discussed some of the important plus points of  meta description for your blog, now if you are not familiar with meta description let me give you some idea that how does it really appear in the search results.
