[punjablovers]

waiting for answer. i am using theme inferno.

am i missing something here?

v2 has this by default in the admin panel

[PurpleCrow]

Meta tags it does - not a description. Unless I've missed something in the ACP...

It can be done manually via you themes index.template.php file. Just search the file for "Meta" and enter what you want after the description content part of the code.

Meta tag options already exist in the SMF admin area, but for more meta tags there is a mod just for that

What the hell does lung mesothelioma have to do with personal finance? Just what your site is about? First of all, that's not a description -- that's a keyword list for a meta keyword tag. Second, it's going to kill your results on Google because there are keywords there that have nothing to do with the subject of your site. You're just stuffing keywords to hijack search engine results, and the gods of Google will be angered. Google does check to see if your listed keywords appear in your site, and will penalize you if they don't appear.

If you want a meta description tag, it would have the text for a search engine to show on the results page, rather than grabbing random text from your page. You have control over what the searcher sees for a description, such as "The Personal Finance resource for Punjabi residents. We can help you with insurance...". However, it is ignored for search results (as is the keywords tag), due to abuse by site owners.
