I wrote to Google:

My Email

Hello,

Just wondering if you can help us with this matter.

When searching for 'Guns n Roses' on google, the first listing in the
search results is the official guns n roses site (www.gnronline.com), below the
listing is the description of the site:

"Includes news and information on Chinese Democracy expected April 2005."

Some people think that the description is added/modified by Google, others think that the information is embedded in the meta tags on the site.

Could you please confirm either of these theories.

Many thanks.

Hi Rick,

Thank you for your note. The creation of snippets is completely automated
and takes into account both the content of a page as well as references to
it that appear on the web. We're unable to manually change a site's
description. We're always working to make our snippets as relevant as
possible, and we'll keep your feedback in mind for the future.

Regards,
The Google Team

So please, no more Google threads....

Oh my God finally...all this time I'm been saying the same thing and no one listend to me. People pointed out their own proof saying that google added them even after telling them that machines can't do it plus no person is gonna add random information for those countless of subjects searchable in google.
Use your illusion and enter my dream...
