Hi there,

I installed the extension and changed the content and meta description of my main page a few times but the changes of the meta description don't show up on Google search results. Any idea why it is not working?




Lookng forward to your help.

Cheers, Chris

Hmm, that's strange indeed. What happens if you place the seo parser function at the top of the page instead of the very bottom?

Has this updated in the last 4 days? Does Google Webmaster Tools give you any hints or errors which might help out?

Thank you kgh and Andrujhon.

I now put the seo tag on top of the page over the first div tag, see here. In a few days I will check if the google crawler read the tags or not.

Here is how the search results look like now:

Google Webmaster Tools is clean and error free:

The meta description shouldn't be more than 70 characters. Keywords can be longer but i wouldn't get too crazy with it in case google sees it as spamming in their algorithm.
