WHAT YOUR META TAGS LOOK LIKE

In the image above you see what your meta tags look like in the All in One SEO Pack plugin area directly under the WordPress editor window BEFORE you begin creating your title and content. The majority of you will most likely not see this because you would have already started by using SiteContent.

I personally do not use SiteContent because the old way of creating content is still quite effective and efficient for my content creation procedure. But I just wanted to show you what the meta tag area looks like at the very beginning of the content creation process. Notice that all you see is the website name and pre-post URL in the snippet.

Displayed in the above image is my finished non-published post at the top of the WordPress editor window. I never publish my posts right away. I always save them as drafts while I tweak them, add images and links. Only after everything is perfect do I publish my posts. From what I hear, this cannot be done in SiteContent.

Regardless...What you see in that image is my post title and the beginning portion of my content. The All in One has automatically placed my post title in the Meta Title Tag and taken the first 160 character spaces of my content and placed it into the Meta Description Tag. You can see all of this in the below image.

At the top is the Preview Snippet which is not an exact match of what will be seen in the Google search results because of certain factors, but it does give you a good idea of what it will look like. The only differences are that your website name will not appear in the title and there will be a date in the description, see below

You can compare the differences with the image above, which is the same image from page 1. But moving on… You can see that the All in One has automatically taken my post title and placed it into the Meta Title Tag and it took the first 160 characters of my content and put it into the Meta Description Tag.

Now if you do not like what the All in One has used for your description, I highly recommend you retype your own description and use your target keyword. Make sure that your description is compelling enough to make people want to click on your post title.If you can, include your keyword in the first 140 character spaces.

NOTE: Google reserves the right to display a totally different Meta Description than the one you created and the All in One created. Google does this if the query searched for can be better matched up with content elsewhere within your post. Perhaps it could be related to another keyword somewhere in your content.
