THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PUT META TAGS IN YOUR HTML PAGES.



I'm currently banging together Photoshop mockups of academic library web pages for user testing, so searching for designs I can steal borrow to test out various things, and in today's search, this came up as the first result.





For those going "Huh?", meta tags are information you put into the head section of the HTML code which explain who you are and what the site is about. Google, and other search engine bots, will first use the metadata in those tags to create their results entries, but if you don't put them there, they grab an excerpt from the page to create the page summary. I suspect that U Mich would prefer to have something about the actual library in there, instead of this. :)

They seem to have accidentally ended up with a page summary for Miskatonic University's library. XD
