how many characters is allowed for description matatagPosted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 6:57 am    Post subject: how many characters is allowed for description matatag

hi

i checked my forum first page in this site

-http://www.submitexpress.com/analyzer/

there was an alarm in report

Code:
This tag contains too many characters.
This tag contains 446 characters. This is too many for what we would consider a 'robot friendly' web page. The maximum number of characters we recommend for this tag is 200.


many page of my forum has more that 200 character for description metatag
is it sort of description metatag abuse ?

I agree with them, metas should not be too long.
Up to 20 keywords in keywords tag and not too much text in the meta desc is better.

Well, you can, by limiting the output in the dynamic meta tag mod's code (page_header.php).

To do so you can shorten the extra keyword list and / or tweak a bit the code not to output cat titles for example in forum descriptions.

Next version will be better thought Wink but don't worry, meta don't do much, so I doubt it would hurt this bad to have some descriptions above 200 characters, it's just that you don't want all of them to be above 2 or 300.
