The meta description is used by search engines to describe the Web page in their results. If your page doesn't have a good meta description, it still could display near the top of the results, but the listing will just grab content from your page, which can end up with a link that no one clicks on.
How Long Should the Meta Description Be?
While there is no limit on how long you can make your meta description, the longer that it is, the more likely it will be cut off in the search engine results. In several tests, I found:
Google started cutting off descriptions after 155-160 characters.
MSN started cutting off descriptions after 175-180 characters.
Yahoo! started cutting off descriptions after 160-165 characters.
