    Google announced in September of 2009 that neither meta descriptions nor meta keywords factor into Google's ranking algorithms for web search. Meta descriptions can however impact a page's CTR (click-through-rate) on Google which can positively impact a page's ability to rank.

    A group of posts that will get a longer meta description, in which we’ll use the keyword only once.
    A set of posts that will get a longer meta description. We’ll use the keyword multiple times, evenly distributed across the meta description.
    A group of posts for which we’ll delete the meta description completely.
    Posts that will keep their old, handcrafted, shorter, meta description and will act as our control group.
