Default Can anyone help with an explanation or reason for this? - 02-05-2004 , 12:06 AM






Can anyone have any thoughts or can explain how the search engine is coming
up with these descriptions for the site.

It seems that the text is from the bottom of the page is being used for the
search term "Pasco County EcoWater Dealer" and pulled from the middle of the
page from two diffrent paragraphs using "Pasco EcoWater Dealer".

It's great that it's #1 for these terms but I am baffled by where the text
descriptions are pulled from.

Any thoughts?

You just told us where the text descriptions are pulled from, so why
ask? :-)

It might be anywhere on the page where Google thinks it finds the most
relevant piece for the search term: meta-description, title, body-text,
alt-text, link-text or snippets of all these.
