Right. Thanks for the advice again! I will definitely go for custom meta descriptions in the near future.

Cheers

Thanks askshopper!

Would having the same meta description through out the site (for a while) be a bad thing? Or could I have it like that for the time being?

I can't change them right now because of some issues with my developers atm.

Great, thanks Matt!

I'm wondering if it is possible to change the meta description of a page on your site at any time without it affecting rankings on google?

Is it only changing how my SERP looks? Or could bad things happen to changing your meta description?

Appreciate all opinions on this one, thank you guys!

That did the trick! Thanks for the support.

Have a great weekend.

Awesome, thanks Marcus!

Just one last thing, where can I in an easy way see what my title and meta description/title is? To see if it works.

In the plugin this code is put in the title template box: %%sitename%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitedesc%%

Maybe this is the reason why title and tag line/meta description is put as title? The "%%sitedesc%%" should perhaps be put in the Meta description template beneath?

I tried disabling, and what I got now was an empty title. What does that tell me?

That's the problem, part of the title should be in the meta description (as it is put under "tag line" in wordpress settings > general.

Put the tagline is shown right after the title in the title.

Marcus,

First of all, thanks for the reply!

I will try to disable the plugin and see what happens.

Where do need a link? Here is to the blog in question blogg.loveday.se (don't know if it is of any use though, as it is in swedish).

Hey guys,

I'm having some issues with my wordpress blog, and I believe SEO plugin by Yoast could be the one causing it.

I have set a title for my wordpress blog, and a tagline. This was set in dashboard > settings > general

Under "titles and metas" > home in the plugin it says, title: %%sitename%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitedesc%%, and meta description is blank.

The reports on seomoz says my title is title+meta description - making it to long (to many characters).

What could be the issue here?

Thanks in advance!
