Meta Description Not Displaying Correctly

Postby irahat » Sat Sep 05, 2009 10:22 am

Today I noticed that some pages from my site's meta descriptions are displaying incorrectly on yahoo. For example, some of the pages indexed on yahoo are displaying the first portion of my description tag but are pulling the other portions from my page (very strange) . However, these SAME pages are displaying the correct descriptions on google search results.

Any Solutions?

Almost all search engines do this now.

Its a QUALITY initiative on their part.

Google, yahoo etc will pull relevant content to the search term, and place it in the description

Understandable....however, in my case....yahoo isn't pulling relevant information. They're pulling these such as "about us." Furthermore, it is only occurring with some links and not others.
