How to remove "Results 1 - 20 of 47" from Google SERP Snippet
-
We are trying to optimise our SERP snippet in Google to increase CTR, but we have this horrid "Results 1 - 20 of 47" in the description.
We feel this gets in the way of the message and so wish to remove it, but how??
Any ideas apart from removing the paging from the page?
-
I think that's the way to go, my brain on a Friday isn't coming up with anything else!
I will experiment and see what works and report back.

Well you could experiment by replacing the structure of the results:
Instead of: 1 - 12 of 236 products
Try: Viewing 1 - 12 of a possible 236 products
Maybe the long version will throw Google off
-
Yes, exactly my thinking or along those lines.
Trying to think of a way of getting rid, without having to change the website for the worse.
-
This result does seem to fool us into thinking it is a rich snippet, however, I think it is one generated by Google and not manually. My guess is that Google has a robot that looks for the "of" with a numerical prefix and suffix and automatically generates a snippet for it.
-
Take a look at this
-
So the Results 1-15 is not in the description then, it is in the rich snippet section. How about posting a small screenshot of the SERP and I will be able to find which rich snippet you need to kill.
-
I think the problem is that Google is detecting text on the page and then converting this into a special grey prefix on the SERP snippet description.
E.g the client has "Showing 1 - 15 of 87 results for 'xxx' " on their page. And they'll want to keep that... but we don't want Google magically detecting that and turning it into the prefix.
-
It's using the meta description, but adding the "Results 1 - 20 of 47" in front of it. It's a automated thing Google does and the text doesn't exist on the website anywhere.
You'll often see it on Amazon results also.
So that's not the answer.
Try Googling "amazon nike trainers" and hopefully you'll see what I mean.
-
By simply writing a unique description on the pages that have the "Results 1-20" should fix that as Google will display your description as the snippet. If the description feed is blank then Google will either pull the first 160 chars it sees from your page and use that as the description, or Google will find a relevant match of page content according to your search query.

Google SERPs displaying Tracking Tags
Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me! Can you tell me why Google would be displaying the tracking URLs in the SERPs (screenshot - http://i.imgur.com/gbskD26.jpg)? I'm thinking it may have to do with the canonical URLs, but I'm not sure.. Thanks in advance! gbskD26.jpg

Nofollow "print" URLs?
Hi there, Apols for the basic question but is it considered good practice to nofollow one of one's own URLs? Basically our 'print page' command produces an identical URL in the same window but with .../?print=1 at the end. As far as I've been reading, the nofollow html attribute is, broadly speaking, only for links to external websites you don't want to vouch for or internal links to login/register pages that together with noindex, you're asking Google not to waste crawl budget on. (The print page is already noindexed so we're good there) Can anyone confirm the above from their own experience? Thanks so much!

Where the "fudge-nuggets" are my internal links?
Ok, so... Google Webmaster Tools Internal Links are not showing any links to my site's homepage. I only link to the homepage by wrapping the logo with the link throughout the site.

At the moment Site is completely ranking higher on google uk & other countries except Sri Lanka . On Google.lk site doesn't even come within 1st 5 pages for keywords which are ranked on1st page in other countries ? What do you think about this ? How does it happen ?
