Generating a meta-description
-
What are some things I should know before implementing a process whereby (public) user account data is used to generate a meta-description? I can't find much information in the existing forums.
Are rich snippets a better option in 2015?

Hey,
Thanks for the help
Let's say a firm going on to my website where the firm needs to set up a profile.
We want informative information to appear when I search for the firm's profile. I'm proposing using the data used to generate the profile to generate a meta-description that will appear when searched.
I'm relatively new to this so I'm not sure if this is normal or advisable, do you have any thoughts?

If you're going to automatically generate the description then I suppose you want to take in to consideration how that description is used by the SERP's. If your description is too long then it won't all be displaying on the SERP and you get the dreaded ...
I'm not sure really there is anything else you need to consider, although obvious data protection rules apply if you're using user data in such a way.

I am a little confused by the question. Are you able to clarify? I am unsure of the process whereby the public generate a meta description.

Product Descriptions (SEO)
So I would like a few opinions. How long should a product description be? Enough to get the point across? 100 words? 800 words? Over detailed? Any advice would be appreciated.

Product Descriptions (SEO)
Hello, I sell products relating to wood. Although the products vary, I like to give description of the wood type for the customers who might not be familiar with it. Will it hurt my rankings to give the same descriptions for the same wood type as long as the majority of the description is different? Here is an example of the layout: 1. Different description for different products 2. The same short description for the same wood types (seen throughout multiple pages) Hopefully my question makes sense.

Google Increases Titles and Meta Descriptions Length
So, we now know that Google are changing the Title and Meta Desc length limits to 70 and 200 respectively. Does this mean we all need to jump to immediate attention and modify all our current pages OR, do we wait?

Meta refresh and java script
I am getting a page nt accessible to search engines error and I believe the reason is that the meta refresh is using a java script reference in the url. meta-refresh: 0;URL=http://mastermindtoys.com/store/nojavascript.html is it possible to tell the robot to use the java script or turn it off or something? or should the meta refresh be changed?
