Website appearance/description in search results
Permalink
Hey all..newbie here..you know how when one does a google search and when the websites are listed, there is often valuable info nestled within the listings? For example this is a rough example of how mapquest's listing looks in google - the top line and bottom lines are blue, tho:
Mapquest maps-Driving Directions-Map
[a quick summary of website is described here]
http://www.mapquest.com/
What do I do to manipulate the appearance of my website's listing in a search engine? Does it have to do with "meta title", "meta description" or "meta keywords" ?
thank you!!

Instead, Google for example, will pull text off the page so your main content area text is what is used. Google most commonly makes this decision itself.
