    vBSEO description - even better meta description

    I don't know how many users here started or had used IPB in the past, but with IPB when you make a post, you have to fill out the thread title and then have the option to fill out a description. I would think it would be great if we could do this with vB (I know there's a mod) integrated through vBSEO so that we can get a better meta description rather than using the first 1-2 sentences of the post (which 99.9% doesn't describe what the thread is about) for our RR's and part of the meta description (yeah I'm sure some people use a different variation of the meta description or the forum description....).

    That all seems rather jumbled. Basically, what I'm asking is that vBSEO add a "thread description" under "thread title" when making a post. Take that description and name it "thread_description" to use it in your RR's. Also, use it to replace the meta description to make it more relevant to the post.

    <3,
    Justin

    Which no one has responded on and I just saw someone else posting about improving C2C...reminding me of my post.

    Hi Justin,

    I suggest that very few users would take the time to enter an alternative (more concise, keyword optimized) version of the post they are writing at the time. The theory is good, but I think that the feasibility is limited.

    Perhaps this is something, if given a moderating tool, you could assign to your team. But, keep in mind, that we don't focus too intently on meta tags any more.
