Hi Everybody,

I assume that meta description tag contributes a little bit in Search Engine Optimization, what are your views and comments regarding this?

Thanks

The most important thing about the meta description is that it shows up with your site title in the actual search listings. This is the same with your page title. So human eyes will see it, and will be trying to decide whether to click on your listing or someone else's. Write a good title and meta description and you can improve your chances of getting click throughs from actual people.

Search spiders are the little bots that the search engines send around the web to find content. They way you can assist them is to make sure they can get to your pages - make sure all your links are crawl-able (they're not in flash or something), your pages are accessible (no 404 errors and such, or orphaned pages), and that your site has a good navigation structure. Inbound links from other sites also help the bots to find you, and the more & better links you have the more often the spider will visit your site.
