Posted by Dr-Pete For years now, we (and many others) have been recommending keeping your Meta Descriptions shorter than about 155-160 characters . For months, people have been sending me examples of search snippets that clearly broke that rule, like this one (on a search for “hummingbird food”): For the record, this one clocks in at 317 characters (counting spaces). So, I set out to discover if these long descriptions were exceptions to the rule, or if we need to change the rules
