This is so simple, folks. Correct the spelling in the description tag. About the only purpose that meta tag serves these days is in providing Google with the start of the description that appears in search results. <meta name="description" content="Hidden tech is a community of small business using technolgy, including both technical people and others like writers, marketers and videographiers" /> Peter Pelland plpelland at pelland.com Pelland Advertising 25 Depot Road, Haydenville, MA 01039-9716, USA (413) 268-0100 / Fax: (413) 268-0173 / Toll-Free: 1 800 848-0501 https://pelland.com http://blog.pelland.com http://www.facebook.com/PellandAdvertising From: Claudia Gere Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 8:33 PM To: hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net Subject: Re: [Hidden-tech] Puzzle for HT SEO experts ** Be sure to fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. ** If you did, we all thank you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’m not an SEO expert, but I think Google is looking at the old or Hidden-Tech test site. Someone was talking with me and thought our Hidden-Tech.net site was down, but she had actually been looking at our old or test site. I’ve encountered the same problem with my Wordpress test site. My web host wants to update it when there is a Wordpress update, and I think I’ve taken it down but somehow it still exists. I look forward to other comments. Cheers, Claudia Claudia Gere & Co.

I am not a spelling Nazi or anything, but since this is a business/ professional-oriented website, I thought you would want to know! Have a great summer,Joe WeddellNorthampton -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion list.
