Google and other search engines actually pull keywords from your body text more than your summary. They want the description to be a good fit for whatever the person searches so a different description will be visible depending on the search term.

I'm not sure why you went with the A though HubPages, because now some people are going to think they got a good grade on all those hubs.
You can thank Edward (ezhang) for this feature.
It's not a critical thing to do, but can help if you write something genuinely descriptive and unique.Thank You Edward!
You will get through it.

My Google de-ranking discovery.
My goodness, I have read oh so many forums trying to figure out why my once flourishing hubs suddenly took a devastating nosedive. I have learned a lot from others comments & shared experience. I have also recognized that there seems to potentially be a number of possible reasons why many hubs...
