All you need to do is write a good description of the page and possibly include a call-to-action. Google will typically use the meta description for the page in the search results. If there's no meta description, I've seen Google compile text from the page and I've also seen them use the DMOZ description. You're best bet is to always include a meta description so you can control what searchers see. Hope this helps! Good copy is any copy that gets relevant searchers to come to your site.

First Google checks DMOZ for a description if there's none then it will compile the text from your on site copy. I'd like to know though how to make a clicker from a browser ... Hope you can post more info on that subject. Cheers, Henry Can you post something on what is good copy to use in the description?
