Another big problem found with sites I’ve indexed was absence of a description tag. Meta tags are used primarily by search engines. If you do not supply a description for your web page then search engines will not have any information to put into its database in regards to a description for that particularly page. Obviously, if you have a title and description that is relevant to that page you are more likely going to gain respect of a search engine. The search engine FOUND what it was looking for. When you loose your keys, do you want to spend 5 minutes searching or just 1 minute? The easier you make it for search engines, less time and resources spent on their end will make up in how you rank with them.

If you have a website or are a web master, look at each of your web pages meta information. Check to see if your meta tags conform to rules set out by major search engines. Once you optimize your pages, you will find that your efforts will be rewarded with higher rankings.

Unexpected Guests:

Use an intercom to ascertain identity of visitor, By this method, you may avoid opening door and risk of inadvertantly inviting them inside. It is crucial that you use this approach at all times - even when front door is open and visitor is plainly visible behind screen door. Feign blindness.

Provide an unwelcoming atmosphere at entrance - no coatracks, tables, chairs or ironing boards that could hold coats. Should visitor enter, assume military "at ease" stance with your hands clasped behind your back. Maintain this position so that visitor cannot hand their coat to you.

If guest still enters and wants to sit, prepare furniture by placing large, angular rocks under cushions. Hide old rotten half-eaten bananas and unfinished yogurt cups (with children, there is always a constant and abundant supply on hand) in strategically chosen areas of furniture to soil your visitor's clothing so that you may hurry them off to dry cleaner and resume work.
