Hi all,

I'm developing a site for a client in Frontpage and there is a field for Page Description. I usually do Page Title and Keywords. Any thoughts on the description for SEO - good to use, overkill, same as keywords, not liked by any search engines, etc.? Thanks! Jen

Hello Jen, Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

I'm developing a site for a client in Frontpage and there is a field for Page Description.

That's a good start. ;)

I usually do Page Title and Keywords.

Actually the sequence of importance when using the FP interface would be Page Title, Page Description and then Page Keywords. The Title and Description are the two most important. The Keywords element has become somewhat deprecated although Yahoo! hints at its use.
