Description tags are basically a short pitch to the possible users of a website to convince them that your website is what they are looking for. I have learned of 3 purposes of description tags:
- describe the content of your website accurately and thoroughly for users, not for search engings
- let the description tags serve as a teaser for the search engines results page
- display keywords relevant to your website
Your primary goal for using description tags is to create a certain value for the user and to drive a higher click through for your website
