Awesome stuff Rishil. I have couple of questions –

1. How many such variations have you tried.
2. If the page is long and covering 4 -5 variety of related keywords. Is leaving meta description field empty is better option and allowing Google to choose the best description according to the search query.

Thanks

Might be an interesting question to send in for his vids. Of course, he could still ignore it, if it’s a question he just doesn’t want to answer.

Rishi, any update from a tweet you sent to Matt Cutts re: whether this was frowned upon?

Really interesting. The break between the two sentences in the description makes the difference that a user gets the first or the second description? So that could be a very nice thing to higher the click rate in the serps.

So how do you separate one description from the other – \n (newline character)?

See, Rishil, this is why I keep coming back! You’re always coming up with something that never would have even occurred to me to try! Keep ‘em comin’!

Love it Rishi. Have also been playing a bit with this.

I have been seeing some very strage things with Google overwriting Page Titles every now and again. Seems to be based on Alt text and anchor text from external sites. Quite interesting really, something you’ve seen much of?
