    • Divs

    Posted by quinnurkey

    Hello everybody! How can I make it so that the search engines read the div, class=wikitext section of my website pages first? Is there a way for me to do this without actually changing the layout of my website?

    Thanks a lot,
    Quinn Spicker

    P.S. My reason for doing this is so that the search engine descriptions come up with the first couple of sentences of each page instead of what is on the menu.

    I don't think so, but I'm not really into optimizing for search engines. Maybe somebody else has some ideas. You do have your meta tags set, right?

    I'm not sure why your search result descriptions are displaying what's on the menu. Google, at least, returns instances of the search term as found in page text, generally. I did a site:zukakakina.com kubrickQuestion Google search and got relevant text. Why don't you give an example of a search that just displays menu items at your site?

    Sorry for taking so long to respond! My computer was in for repair. Anyways, I just got listed in Google, and it seems that you are right. I was looking at the MSN results when I posted this. I wonder why they are so weird!
