285814 2004-10-28 22:11:00 How long ago did you add the meta description?
Takes a couple of weeks to be refreshed on google.
Search NZ and you are the only one listed.
This shouldnt make any difference but you could try lowercase.

285816 2004-10-28 22:29:00 Meta description will have about 0.01% impact.

The clue is that your search was for "theanswerguy", and there simply isn't sufficient reference to that word on your page.

The keyword you search for has to have a reasonably high percentage of the text content on the page.

Also, the term "theanswerguy" is unlikely to be ever used in a real search situation - you need to include target words and importantly, phrases, that a typical user of your type of site would use when doing a search.

<META NAME="Description" CONTENT

Also if you search for your keywords google says this:
The following words are very common and were not included in your search: who what when why where how.

You may want to change these also, to broden your listing
