this needs fixing - enter the following into google search box:
sitepen-b.net


you're spamming the description metatag - this is what it contains:
OpenBlog - The main idea of OpenBlog is that you can blog on your own without need of having own blog which eats a lot of time and you lose the joy of blogging. The advantage for the OpenBlog is that the more the users are involved the more quality and quantity of articles the OpenBlog gets. Permission to post gets every registered users immediately. Just try and you will see.


you should have a short description of what the intividual page contains

Yes I have just made some changes to the description and title parts today to get better SEO. I hope it will work better now.

I hate the SKIP THIS AD thing.

I like the idea --- but think that you need to categorize it into categories --- See how bloggeries categorized their blogs = you should categorize your posts the same way - it would be much more effective. THE CATEGORIES NEED TO BE PLACED AT THE TOP...

Maybe a layout change would help you - Like I've told MANY people who blog about different topics - choose a MAGAZINE style layout - that gives your readers a much more broad view of all the possibilities - and allows them to choose.

This is an excellent tool to provide traffic to your site - and to the sites that people are blogging about --- it's almost a directory - but NOT quite.

Your Grammar needs a little touch up, find someone who would be willing to exchange top billing to fix it up for you.

You should incorporate more user action - for those who don't want to post - but want to interact - POLLS - etc.

OK _ good luck to you.

I got 11 categories so far. If you like you can choose one category make it your OpenBlog homepage and view in the future only that particular one.

I am gonna have to look at the grammar that has always been an issue.

Arggh!

now the description of the post page for the article I just submitted on currency trading is:

"Would you believe that online currency trading is the biggest business in the world? Over three trillion dollars worth of transactions take place everyday in the currency market and online currency trading is now available to everyone.

The market is fast and extremely volatile where literally fortunes can be made in the twinkling of an eye. Now that is not to say that currency trading is a get rich scheme. It is like any other investment not unlike the stock market. If you are going to participate in online currency trading, you must know what you are doing."


that's a massive 688 characters

that's still too long - my currency trading blog home page is:


Title: Currency Trading Blog (21)

Description: Currency Trading News And Articles (34)

Keywords: Currency Trading, currencies trading, forex trading, trade currencies, trade forex (82)


there are various page scoring tools available - and the above scores 100 percent for each - but it will vary from time to time depending on the post extracts on the home page at the time


you could simply use:

title = the post title

description = the post title + a few additional words such as "article" "news" "post"

keywords = a few to highlight what the article is about


a simple way I've used successfully over the years is simply to use the title for all metatags

e.g.

title = online currency trading
description = online currency trading
keywords = online currency trading

should be easy enough to edit the blogging php code to "echo" the post title into the metatags

don't know what your blog platform is but there may be a free SEO plugin available like I use for WordPress
