Meta Description, WordPress Excerpt and a Google Description are three different things. Although, the Google Description is supposed to use your Meta Description, if it deems it appropriate.

Writing an Excerpt within WordPress is not displayed within your Meta Tags or HTML code. It is used for Blog Rolls where you have them set to Summary with the Read More button.

Hope that helps,

Thanks, Chrystoph, for your very clear explanation.

So, basically, excerpts have limited value for SEO purposes, right?

If you’re referring to the Excerpts Text Box within WordPress Posts, then yes.

Although, you can configure SEO Plugins to populate the SEO Description fields using these Excerpts, if you are using Excerpts throughout your website, as it saves double data entry, as you don’t have to then also write an SEO Description. If you don’t change any SEO Plugin settings from their defaults, they usually take the SEO Description from your first paragraph.

Thanks, Chrystopher.

It's more clear now.

Much appreciated!

As I am trying to improve my website's SEO score, I was wondering how important is the Alt Text for images. The reason I am asking is that one of my WP Themes strips all image

One thing the importance of alt text is to assign contextual pertinence about the page/post especially if there are images.

Indeed! Thanks!

Welcome.

Very--see your answers below! Thanks for asking the question, Nellya!

Thanks, Vicki! Trying to fix it with the Theme developer now! Nellya

ALT tags are very important. You should never have an empty tag

Thanks, Chrystopher!
I sent a support ticket to the developer to see if they have a solution.

Based on your experience, what is a more effective way to promote your affiliate website: Google Ads or Facebook? Are there marked differences by location and by topic? Thanks

Hey Neliya,

Being as I'm sticking with Kyle's training, I haven't even given it a thought for paying for ads yet.

However, when I Google searched your question, several blog posts past and present were offered in my SERP (search engine results page). See screen print below...

If you were to Google search and read through a few of these, you may find great advice offered to you quicker than waiting for the right member who may use paid advertising to see your question and be able to offer you advice.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thanks, Triblu, for making an effort to reply to my question. I appreciate it! I will google it then :) Nellya
