Google description problem

[pezza3434]

Hi all,

My website is www.ipbskinning.com

I'm having a problem with how my site is appearing in google.

I have this in the head of my website:

<meta name='<a class="attribute-value">description</a>' content='<a class="attribute-value">Free and Custom IPB Skins for Invision Power Board.</a>'/>

Yet when I google 'ipbskinning' it says:

Solid Skins. 1We test all our skins in all browsers to insure that they are compatible. This ensures that your users have the best user experience.

which is random text from the content of my site.

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks a lot all

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees that Google will use your meta description in the SERPS. How long has the page been active? I once had to wait about 4 weeks for my descriptions to start showing up properly.

Ohh I see ok. That page has been active with that description for months

Hm. You are well within the character limit for a description. Maybe try utilizing those remaining 20 characters to pump up the description.

What is Webmaster Tools saying? Any HTML suggestions, crawl errors, etc?
