I have added META tags to my site, but Google seems to only add part of the text on my site and not the description. How can I get Google to only use the text in the description?
You can't. Google will display whatever text is relevant to the search. The description is just one of several factors that determines the position of your site in any particular search.
The keywords are not used for Google search although I believe that they are used for targetting Adsense. However it is rumoured that "keyword stuffing" can have a negative effect.
At one time, Google used my exact description, but lately it's been using text from the site with either part or none of my description. Is there a way to get it to use the description only?
