What's in the description is so much more important that what is in the keywords in this site, I'm discovering. I need to go back and rework my descriptions.

Weird because the advice from SS is to keep the description as short as possible.

I'll show you an example in a separate thread. About a year ago, they changed their search a bit to give weight to words in the description. I'm not saying put all your keywords in the description, but the most important ones should be there.

I would bet they drop descriptions sooner than Later.
