Google Webmaster Tools Not Showing Correct Data?
-
Hi,
I am experience a weird issue. Google webmaster tools suggested me some HTML improvements a few weeks ago. The suggestions were about duplicate Title Tags and Short Meta Descriptions. I changed the Title Tags and Meta Descriptions. But after 3 Google Updates, webmaster still shows the same suggestion.
Please advise
Thanks

Just had to chime in here. I made changes at least 6 weeks ago, probably more like 12 weeks for some pages, and Google is not updating the HTML improvements page. I will look into trying to manually send some URLs in to see if this changes.

Dimitri beat me to the suggestion.
It does take a long time but at least you'll know the correction itself has been picked up if you Fetch it. You're now making me curious to get some issues like that generated on purpose and then time the removal of the warning when both a natural crawl and Fetch are used. Is it different timing in Webmaster Tools? Odd that I've never thought to ask that but now looking forward to a simple and easy to run test.

Hi Kashif,
Give it a try and let us know if you think it works, in our case it didn't change anything unfortunately. You usually have to wait like mentioned above a very long time.

hi,
this i should try to manually fetch those pages.
Thanks

Hi,
Updates means Crawl Update. I have made changes about 3 weeks ago and updated the site map too. During these 3 weeks, google have crawled my site 3 times. But the html improvement suggestions do not change.

It takes reeeeally long time for GMT to refresh their data. I'd recommend to request recrawl manually for those pages. And just make sure that the pages are updated. Sometimes I forget to upload some changes and then wondering why in the world nothing is working

Hello Kashif,
By "Google Updates" do you mean crawls of your site, or updates to the algorithm? It sounds as if your site has not been crawled/indexed since you made the changes, which is why GWT isn't indicating the issues have been fixed. This sounds like an issue that some time and patience will solve.
How long has it been since you made the updates?
Thanks,
Rob

Why is my website not showing up in a specific, very uncompetitive niche?
My website just went live about 3-4 weeks ago and while it has been indexed by Google-it shows up when I do a search for my site's name, it does not show up for the keyword terms it has been optimized for. This is a very specific, non-competitive niche-so I just can't imagine why it would not be showing for these non-competitive keyword term searches? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

Why is SEOMOZ Crawl Diagnostics not in sync with Webmaster Tools
Currently, my Website, according to the Crawl Diagnostics Summary, has 401 'Duplicate Page Title Errors'. But in Google Webmaster Tools, under Óptimization on the Left hand Side Toolbar, if you look up HTML Improvements, there are only 4 'Duplicate Title Tags'. I have two questions re this: A) Do 'Duplicate Page Title Errors' and 'Duplicate Title Tags' have the same meaning' ? , and B) why are there 401 errors located by the former, and just 4 by the latter?

Hi Mozzers, I'm seeing some changes in Google when using certain commands I've used for ages. I'm trying to spot cananical issues by using this search site:www.mysite.com intitle:"keyword" This used to list all pages in the index on a certain site with the keyword in the title. Now I'm getting weird results and sometimes results from other sites - not the one specified in the site: command. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks B

Should I Remove This Subdirectory From Google?
On my site, I have a subdirectory. It posts articles from a bunch of websites that my readers are interested in & links back to all of those sites. There is no original content in it. There are over 1700 indexed pages in this subdirectory. The rest of my site has about 500 (all original content). The search engine traffic for this subdirectory only accounts for 3.9% of my sites overall visits. Should I consider removing this subdirectory? Could all the duplicate content be hurting the rankings of my legit pages? What do you all think?

Strange titles showing in WMT?
On one of my wordpress sites, I have just checked it out in Google Webmaster tools and under duplicate titles it is showing spam titles which I did not add? Lamisil Buy - Buy Online on two pages of the site However these two pages are no longer online? So I have 2 quick questions please 1.) How did they add a title to these 2 pages 2.) Why is it still showing in WMT when these pages are no longer live? Also under duplicate titles it is showing pages that dont exist? i.e. ?yonidza=orde and some of which such as weddings.html are pages from the old site structure that no longer exist - how can I reduce these errors down?

I think I`ve caught some kind of google filter on my site.
What if the PA and the DA on my domain and the entire site is 1. Most of the pages on the site were empty or not unique. Now I`m adding new pages with unique content. I have only one position in the top 10. The remaining 15 positions are above the top. What should I do to increase my PA & DA and to have top 10 positions by other keywords?
