: Meta-description not found in tools.seochat.com: "ERROR! No description data found" I was using http://tools.seochat.com/tools/search-spider-simulator to check what the crawler see and get from my website,

I have a better answer.

<meta name="description" content="The Description Of My Page">


I see no point in having ID parameter in the meta tag because no value in the meta tags will be changed by javascript, and if they are expected to, then there is something wrong with your webpage.

Also, this answer saves you about 20 bytes which means your webpage will load a tiny bit faster. You'll save more bytes if you remove the ID parameter of all the tags that you don't plan to alter other values of in javascript.

Try changing it to this:

<meta name="description" id="meta-description" content="The Description Of My Page" />


If that does not work, then try this:

<meta name="description" id="meta-description" content="The Description Of My Page">


It is possible that the agent is hard-wired to expect things a certain way as a parser.
