For the Description, I used HTML, to hopefully section it out:

<P>A Worldwide Freedom Movement In A Book</br>
A Blueprint For Peace, Prosperity And Freedom</br>
A New System Of Rational Individualism</P>

<P>Nothing is more pro-liberty than The Universal Individual Rights Project.</br>
Nothing!</P>


What description,,,, ooooh I see, The description should be just written normally with comma's and or full stops.Usuall one or two sentences, it should be around 135 to 160 characters long (but doesn't actually have that much merit for SEO with Google anymore, but defiantly not the way you have done it. Google and some of the other rulers of the seo world will just not show it if you keep it like that


From what I understand and have experienced, as long as you don't make it a page long, and lists of key words, etc, like you're trying to load the SEO, it works fine. Just a short concise description that helps the viewer understand what the page is about.


Nowadays most search engine take the description from the CONTENT, but there are some that still need the meta description to put under the page title on the results page so yes it is something that should be done, and especially on this site you are working on as there is virtually no content (at the moment at least) but in whatever case it should just be entered in as normal sentences, if I recall correctly, one didn't put html code in the meta description even in the old days, one just typed in normal sentences (max 160 characters then) I have very many web-sites that don't have the meta description tag thingy blank, and Google, Bing, Yahoo etc all take something from the content of the page and place it in the description.


Ok thanks! From my experience, if the meta description is short and in natural sentences - not loaded with stupid lists of keywords, they will use it. Google Denver Process Servers, and page down a little, to our organic listing and you'll see the meta description that I have, there. :)

Hello Melissa,
You are right, in one respect, you can use the meta description tag to put one in,

what I was saying originally is
A/ You shouldn't put html code in there(as you did in the beginning, and found out for yourself anyway,) because they wouldn't display it in the serp (or it would be displayed WITH the html code as part of the sentence. (which you found out also )
B/ Nowadays it isn't an essential part of SEO as most of them now have artificially intelligent bots etc (which are getting more and more artificially intelligent every day , which is a bit scary really) and they can take the description from the CONTENT that is written on the page.

So it's wasn't wrong what you did, and long may you continue, it was just in the beginning, you had html in the description text , which was the wrong way to do it)
