About half a year ago, I added my url "www.tegenspraak.be" to google. I believe that it isn't even necessary. Anyway, now I still don't see my website listed when I search for "tegenspraak".
I think I may have made a mistake in my script (see below). Anybody any ideas?

Thank you very much,

MiL

Google doesn't even search the <meta> tags any more; it looks through the page content instead.

If that's so, how does google know what text to display below the link?

I said it doesn't search the meta tags; they're still used when deciding what to display, if they exist. A page without them will get no higher a rank than a page with them; appropriate text from the page content will be used instead of the description. This is, arguably, a better idea, as it allows the searcher more of an idea of the content of the page as related to his/her search terms.

Ok, sorry!

But of course it doesn't really solve my problem, are you shure my meta tags are correct?

Well, I don't read Flemish (?), so there could be some mistakes there, but your HTML syntax is correct.
You might want to put the content-type meta tag above the others.

I assume that that site is at least linked from a few places on the web? Obviously Google can't crawl a site that's completely isolated on the web.
