Description and Title keyword Not showing in Google SERP?
-
It appears our description and title have disappeared in Goggle and Bing search results. We currently did a update to Magento 1.7 and the robots.txt included this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
But that is fixed in Google Webmaster tools and everything else looks good.
Here is the site:
http://www.oxygenconcentratorstore.com/
Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

agree, the homepage has an issue should rank first and the homepage indexing is the problem i believe he is asking about.
doing a query for the domain name you see this is the URL that is showing
http://www.oxygenconcentratorstore.com/
not
http://www.oxygenconcentratorstore.com
so http://www.oxygenconcentratorstore.com/ probably has or had the title tag "Oxygen Concentrators" and no meta description so that is why you are not seeing the title tag and meta description as seen in the source of this page http://www.oxygenconcentratorstore.com, it's a different indexed page in Google.
a) 301 redirect the / to the non slash version
b) make sure you are linking to the non / version in sitemap.xml files
c) make sure the homepage logo and other places on the site that are linking to the homepage are doing so without the slash at the end
e) add the canonical tag to the homepage without the slash in it
f) when doing link building link to the homepage (if you must link to the homepage) without the slash.
g) slash of no slash it doesn't matter, just do it one way and keep it consistent
thumbs down that answer i dare you lol

Thanks a bunch!

Yes, you should wait to a recrawl at least to worry about it.
Submit a sitemap trough WMT if possible and check back the SERP results in 1 or 2 days
Keep us informed to see if we can help further!

It was downloaded 11 hours ago. Do I just need to wait until after the site is crawled again?
-
if you do a site search, there arent issues with metas (well, the main URL doesnt show first...thats should be a problem)
Instead, you should try with a query for the domain name, and you wil see it!

When was that solved in google webmaster?
its absolutely that after having some issues with robots or google deindexing some url, the title or description doesnt appear in the SERPs, but after recrawling the site, it should appear as it was.
If you solved that in WMT long ago it could be something completely different.
So, has the site been recrawled twice since the issue was solved?
-
why would i get a thumbs down for asking where he doesn't see his title and meta description appearing? duh
-
I see title tags and meta descriptions noticed in Google
can you show a search example where they are not showing?

SEO plugin by Yoast messing up my title/meta description
Hey guys, I'm having some issues with my wordpress blog, and I believe SEO plugin by Yoast could be the one causing it. I have set a title for my wordpress blog, and a tagline. This was set in dashboard > settings > general Under "titles and metas" > home in the plugin it says, title: %%sitename%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitedesc%%, and meta description is blank. The reports on seomoz says my title is title+meta description - making it to long (to many characters). What could be the issue here? Thanks in advance!

NoIndex/NoFollow pages showing up when doing a Google search using "Site:" parameter
We recently launched a beta version of our new website in a subdomain of our existing site. The existing site is www.fonts.com with the beta living at new.fonts.com. We do not want Google to crawl the new site until it's out of beta so we have added the following on all pages: However, one of our team members noticed that google is displaying results from new.fonts.com when doing an "site:new.fonts.com" search (see attached screenshot). Is it possible that Google is indexing the content despite the noindex, nofollow tags? We have double checked the syntax and it seems correct except the trailing "/". I know Google still crawls noindexed pages, however, the fact that they're showing up in search results using the site search syntax is unsettling. Any thoughts would be appreciated! DyWRP.png

Google is Showing Website as "Untitled"
My freelance designer made some changes to my website and all of a sudden my homepage was showing the title I have in Dmoz. We thought maybe the NOODP tag was not correct, so we edited that a little and now the site is showing as "Untitled". The website is http://www.chemistrystore.com/. Of course he didn't save an old copy that we can revert to. That is a practice that will end. I have no idea why the title and description that we have set for the homepage is not showing in google when it previously was. Another weird thing that I noticed is that when I do ( site:chemistrystore.com ) in Google I get the https version of the site showing with the correct title and description. When I do ( site:www.chemistrystore.com ) in Google I don't have the hompage showing up from what I can tell, but there are 4,000+ pages to the site. My guess is that if it is showing up, it is showing up as "Untitled". My question is.... How can we get Google to start displaying the proper title and description again?

Keyword cooccurence
Is there any truth to keyword cooccurence being a ranking factor in google or any other search engines. Meaning that they not only look at the words you are targeting but the other words on the page to see if those words have a close relationship to the main theme ( the words being supposedly targeted) I heard that keyword coocurrence does not scale well over the billions of pages that are on the internet however, some waterdowned approached of keyword cooccurence is possible. what do you guys think?
