Meta title and meta description for Google
-
Hi guys, I have had a good trawl of the forums about this, but I am just looking for a definitive answer – on a wordpress.COM blog am I allowed to change the meta title and the meta description so it appears on Google searches?
at the moment, if you search ‘ross v ross’ on google you get a brief description of our last post, but it doesnt really indicate what the site is about – this i would like to change.
the site is http://www.rossvross.com
i know there are some SEO plug-ins out there but am i right in saying that these are only for wordpress.ORG blogs?
thesacredpath… i know you in particular must be tiring of answering the same questions from noobies like me but would just like to know what my options are, if any.
thanks for your help and keep up the good work

That is not possible on wordpress.com blogs.
Plugins are only for wordpress.ORG blogs?
Yes.

thanks for the fast response husdal, much appreciated.
are there any plans to introduce a meta description feature?
I know im not the only blogger who would like to see it -
As to the meta description, be advised that the posts excerpt works the same way.

While I have experimented with that on my .ORG blog, I’m not sure it has brought me any benefits. What you can do in wordpress.com is edit the title words in your permalink, e.g. your
The Grinch v The Nightmare Before Christmas
could be
the-grinch-versus-the-nightmare
instead of
the-grinch-v-the-nightmare-before-christmas
