Google Behavior

google search results showing description of this blog

This might not appear strange to you, unless you knew that I had never used the sentence that appears in the image above. I believe that description of my blog was created in the dmoz open directory project. At least, that's where I saw it first. It has now propagated around the web, including to the Google Directory.

I have always believed that Google search results show a selection from the page itself, usually a selection with some words or phrases in bold that indicate why the item came back as a search result. Perhaps I was wrong, and it has always combined third party content with search results.
