Global Site Meta Description:
Type a description of your web site used to assist Search Engines. You
may want to limit your description to maybe twenty words or so,
depending on the Search Engine you are targeting. Make it concise and
pertinent to your site's contents. You can include some of your keywords
and key phrases here too. As some search engines read more than 20
words, you can add one or two sentences. Make sure that the most
important part of your description is in the first 20 words.
Global Site Meta Keywords:
The optimal number of characters for a keyword description is said to be
between 300 and 500. Do not repeat words too often and either separate
your keywords with a comma or a space, or group two or three words
