Google understands links to a resource, and ignores metadata about a resource
that it (Google) doesn't generate, AFAIK. IF you want Google to take something
seriously, link to it from something it already takes seriously.
Publishing RSS descriptions could assist that to the extent that the RSS
(weblogs, news sites, etc.) feeds inspire others to link to the
directory.
See http://www.google.com/technology/index.html for the Tao of Google.
