How do you change your forum's description on Google? - Elektrisk - 03-21-2010
Hello.
I have a MyBB forum, and I'd like to set a custom description of it for when people are looking at its result on Google. How can I edit it? Note: There is no 'website', just the forums.

If you right click and view source for this forum you will see
Quote:<meta name="description" content="Support Forums - making things easier one post at a time." />
<meta name="keywords" content="support, free, tech, virus, dell, hp, forums, microsoft, windows, linksys, network, computer, laptop, netbook, programming, technical, printer, online" />
and this is how it displays in search results.

I'm not, but I will consider it, since it's so cheap. Thanks!

I highly recommend that you do. You will gain access to all of Labrocca's top quality plugins, for a one off payment of $10 (I think?).
