When i search for my website, cc systems ltd, it comes up with the following:

CC Systems Ltd.
HOME | SHARP | MOTOROLA | KENWOOD | THURAYA | INMARSAT | IRIDIUM | MASTS ... Copyright © 2008 - CC Systems Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Disclaimer. ...
CC Systems Ltd. - 6k - Cached

This is just a footnote on the website, how can i change that description above to something else?

Thanks

Its the only text on your page - what else would you expect to show?

philmetz · 05-02-2008, 09:12

of the page, and hide it by changing the color that would work?

You've got one in your page - though it only contains keywords rather than an actual description. These are ignored by at least some search engines though as, just like the keywords meta tag, they are often abused by spammers.

Make sure the below is in between the opening and closing <head> </head> tags...

<meta name="description" content="The words you put right here will be shown by some search engines underneath the clickable link..." />

No clue how long this practice will last, though.

I will suggest you to go through google webmaster blog to get more details on meta tag at : Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Improve snippets with a meta description makeover
They have explained it very properly.

Add meta tags and you'll be fine.
