Is There any way so that i change the snippet created by google indexing,so that it Drives more Traffic,Making it more Relavent which i can show to the users
Google will choose your search results snippets from the following places (not necessarily in this order):
The page's Meta Description tag
The page's Open Directory Project (ODP) Listing
Page content relevant to the search query
If you do not want Google to use the ODP listing's description then you can tell them not to do so with the following Meta tag:
<meta name="robots" content="NOODP">
If you want to encourage Google to use your Meta Description tag then make sure it is unique to each page. Also make sure it contains an accurate description of the page's content.
In thew absence of an ODP description and Meta Description tag, Google will use a portion of the page's text as the description. This text will contain the closest matches to the search query. I have not seen any official limit to how long this can be but a couple of sentences seems about right.
On a related note, if you don't want a snippet to be shown with a particular page you can use the following Meta tag to prevent one from being shown:
<meta name="robots" content="nosnippet">
See this blog post for Google's tips on using the meta description tag.
According to this site, "The meta description should typically be at most 145 to 150 characters in length as these are the maximum number of characters typically displayed at Yahoo! and Google, respectively."

I've added complete tags in the home page. But When I tried to find website on search engine it shows brand name only.
Meta Description is appearing correctly in search engine but instead of showing Meta title it shows Brand name.
Please share your feedback so that I can add accurately.
Meta tags are important part of SEO, but not the primary factors.
When you say they do not show, i believe you are talking specific tags, such as keyword tag, in such case please not that keyword tag is not anymore a factor in SEO for search engines such as Google, for Meta Title, your page title will show first that is also because the meta title has also been deprecated.
Use your meta tags for description and social graph, that's the most you will need in meta for SEO.
I am trying to share a post from my website(blog) onto Google plus but it isn't showing the featured image of the article, instead it is just showing the title and link of the article. I have microdata and also "og" tags for my page. When tested using Google Structured data testing tool, it is showing all good. I expect to get some help here. If I am trying to share the home page, it is showing an image, however if I am trying to share any post from the website, it is not showing any image. Please help, let me know if you need any more info, would be happy to provide.
One of post's from website
The og:image meta tag is being used by google plus rather than the image property within your http://schema.org/BlogPosting -as #abraham pointed out this is a broken link, it should go to http://top10grocerysecrets.com/Top-10-foods-for-releiving-inflammation.jpg - currently it includes /wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2015/07/ which isn't part of the image's path.
In the structured data it is valid, but not correct: BlogPosting has an image set but without a full path which may be why it gets ignored: the source should begin http:// etc. This is also needed if you want the image to appear in the google search results preview.
The WebPage element does not have an image set: only the BlogPosting does. Consider setting the same image property using a meta tag inside the WebPage element if fixing the BlogPosting image's path does not resolve the structured data issue, e.g.
<meta itemprop="image" content="http://top10grocerysecrets.com/Top-10-foods-for-releiving-inflammation.jpg" nt-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Print" />
In the structured data there are two unrelated mistake
the BlogPosting has author set to a link with fixed IP address http://162.244.66.231/top10grocerysecrets/author/cyoung this will reduce the chance of it connecting the blog with C Young's profile on the website.
the file name http://top10grocerysecrets.com/Top-10-foods-for-releiving-inflammation.jpg has 'releiving' in it, which is not the spelling used in the text on the image itself. This doesn't matter a great deal.
When I specify a page as having <meta name="robots" content="noindex"/>, are the description and keywords meta tags looked at by search crawlers? Can I exclude them entirely?
You can exclude them entirely. Meta keywords and description are not used by search engines for indexing. Meta description is only used to display information in search results, but since you don't index your page, it does not make sense to create a description.
The noindex value disallows indexing the content of a document.
When a bot crawls this document, it can of course see everything, which includes the meta-description and meta-keywords, but it may not index this content.
How can I make front-page and category pages of my CMS being indexed just by their meta description tag not by their contents (posts, navigation, ...)?
edit: Contents on these pages are generated dynamically and change frequently, so I want to prevent users don't find what they saw in search result summary
edit: Can nosnippet help for this or does it prevent the display of meta description content too?
Also How I can prevent indexing of contents of particular tag in a page?
Add this between your head tags:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"/>
But, Yandex does not care about this which is not respectful.
I just found out that Google recently decided to start using their own "title" when they display their search results. Also, after checking Yahoo and Bing I saw that the way they are displaying their results are the same but in completely different way than Google.
I guess my question would be, if there is an actual "correct" way of adding titles to my pages in order for Google to display what I want them to and this way get the same results with Yahoo/Bing that are currently using the page's title as a search result (sometimes they pick up the first tag and use it as title).
Any recommendations or links to follow for more studying would be appreciated.
There's nothing you can really do about it. Google will choose what title to display based on criteria they have not made public. This usually is the page's title as found in the <title> tag but if Google feels a different title better summarizes the page's content they may choose to display something else.
You can try to change your page titles to better reflect the page's content and see if that helps.
Using optimal keyword prominency in meta tags according to guidelines... and Google will pick up your meta tags. See our news portal's source and metas (keywords: hírek, választás 2014, etc.): http://valasztas2014.hir24.hu/
