weslinda is right, the keyword tag does not carry the wight it used to while descriptions are still very important.

I find exactly what incrediblehelp said:
1. A snippet of text from the page itself.
2. Your DMOZ description if you are in there.
3. Or the part of the description tag.

I would say Google preferes the DMOZ description first before it looks for anything else. If you're not listed in DMOZ, then it finds the description tag in your site and if it fails to find that, then it looks for the first available text in your page content that relates to the search string...
