MSN indexing pages weird

Hey all!

Well my site shows #1 for my keyword "buyers review" on MSN and despite my updating of the Meta Description and watching the results several times im getting:
Buyers-Review.com - Read our reviews before you shop online! Read ...
Buyers-Review.com ...leave the headaches of online shopping to us. Home │ Search │ Our Seal │ About Us │ Contact Us ...

I use full sentences in my "description=" and <meta name="robots" content="index,follow">

Also it seems to have indexed my legal notice as #2 for some odd reason. "robots content=all".
Basically im wanting it to display my description and not the menu items.

Any help would be great, thanks guys!

See my Profile for URL to site.

Search engines will display a portion of the page that they deem to be relevant.

The meta tags cannot control this with the exception of some directories that will display your description.

That doesn't mean your description is useless though. Use a different description for each page in proper sentences with your keywords in. Although they are not displayed, search engines are looking for a homogeny between your page content and the title, description and (to a lesser degree) keywords tag.

Ultimately, it is the page content that search engines use to decide what keywords your page should appear in the search results for.
