    Hi,

    How to get description under the link in google ?

    I mean :
    1. Example Web Page

      You have reached this web page by typing "example.com", "example.net", or "example.org" into your web browser. These domain names are reserved for use in ...
      www.example.org/ - Cached - Similar
    2. example.com - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      example.com, example.net, and example.org are second-level domain names reserved by the Internet Engineering Task Force through RFC 2606, Section 3, ...
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example.com - Cached - Similar
    Thank you for your advices

    They're automatically generated by Google.

    You can remove ones you don't want to appear via Webmaster Tools, but you can't make them appear

    but my one shows the thing I don't want to and gives link to sub web than to main page. Why is that?

    Actually I misunderstood your post :)

    I thought you were referring to site links

    The description / snippet is from the either the meta description or the first X characters of the page AFAIK

    Because each page is treated individually - Google displays the most relevant page in it's search results. Not the main homepage of the website.

    That's why you need to treat every page as a landing page when designing!

    Just put
    <meta name="description" content="put here what ever you would like to appear in the results in google" />
    also another tip, do it like this to get a better ranking:



    <title>title of your website which is relivent to your page</title>
    <meta name="description" content="put here what ever you would like to appear in the results in google" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="start off with your title, next key phrase, next key phrase, next key phrase, next key phrase" />
    <meta name="robots" content="noodp,index,follow" />


    This will help seo your page, if you need more help contact us on our support page at huskora.com and say you were speaking to us on boards.ie and we will help you out
