The site description for a site I'm continually optimizing is showing up as something we haven't written in the MSN site description. The windows live site for webmasters describes their process of extracting a site description from either the content (sentence fragments) or taken from the description meta tag, but this doesn't seem to be the case. The site description on MSN is a very curt line that doesn't utilize any of the keywords we are targeting. Our competitor's site has a description taken directly from their content. Ours cannot be found anywhere in our code. It really seems to be a human edited line, and a cursory one at that. I try not to worry about it too much, since it is MSN, but this is rather puzzling to me.

I found one other post on a blog about this, but the responses to it all seem to be spam. It can be found here:

So I was wondering if anyone had any answers or conjectures. I'm not really complaining. Aside from this site, my optimizations always do better on MSN than google or yahoo, so this has piqued my curiosity more than anything.

Thanks a lot!
