Metadata

I've begun adding metadata to all CDX content. This was something that I thought was done automatically but now I realize had not gone in the pages.

What the Metadata does is provide search engines with additional data to match up pages with queries. I actually think we have been penalized for not having metadata.

So, when you are creating a review (or other content), expand the metadata field and fill it with a brief description of the content. I have been taking this from somewhere in the body of the content, but you can do that or write a new one. The only people who see this are search engine users.

In reviews, the Meta Tag field is located inconveniently after the Teaser Image box. Meta tags are limited to 255 characters. You can paste more, but they will be cut off.

For an example of proper meta tags, check this review out in edit mode:

I don't understand- what/where exactly do these descriptions appear? Is this now a "required" field to fill out before we can create a review? Once in a great while, when searching online, sometimes I see a link to a CDX review or article; what's the bonus here?
