ok, ever since I first told Gimpy, and then again at seodays, I have been meaing to blog about how to get get snippet text.

ok I don’t like to leave things to chance and by using a meta description you are doing that, so throw the meta tag away and use this really really simple method :

A few weeks ago, I blogged about Seomoz, and I have used that post has the example to this method,

1) let Google take control and create the snippet for you, screenshot of orginal snippet.

2) go to your web page and find the starting point of the snippet, and just rewrite it, I tend to word count then over run it..

3) once google is happy with that, re do the ending point counting backwards, that should give you the perfect snippet for that keyword. in this case I haven’t done that yet
