Google adding text to SERP title which isn't relevant

Hi guys, I have a site with around 300 articles on it and these articles came from three old domains which were migrated during a Wordpress domain migration almost four months back. There The problem I'm having is that for quite a lot of the articles in the SERP, Google is adding '- Maine Coons' to the end of the title. One of our old domains was related to this breed of cat so at least in Google's eyes it must have something to do with this I guess. I've attached a screenshot that shows one such example. What's odd is a lot of the new content that has been created also has this suffix added and it doesn't show in any other search engine. So, it doesn't appear in other search engines and it's not coming from the article itself (proved also via developer tools inspecting the code). So, Google is adding it but as you can see in this example (there are many more) it has absolutely no relevance to the post. Has anyone seen this behavior or have any idea how to fix it? I've tried all kinds of things and have even hired SEO 'experts' that haven't been able to see any problems. Any clues? Thanks, Matt K71Y3P9

Javascript redirects harmful for SEO?

Hi Mozzers, A website deals with some javascript redirects. After some research, It came clear a normal 301 is the best option, but javascript redirects can be useful if you don't have access to a website' server. Does anyone have experience with javascript redirects? Can they be harmful in any point of SEO? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Competitor outranks us, even though we are better in every measurement

I run a site www.rent.com.au. We are a realestate portal that is dedicated to the rental market across Australia. We have been adding more content to our site and now have close to 80% of all realestate agent listings in Australia. Over the past few months we have spent time on: Canonicalisation of our search result and property pages Updating titles and descriptions to match key terms Adding a internal link structure to promote the capital cities of Australia Yet despite this work there are sites which are much smaller, have less traffic, and haven't changed for years outranking us for terms like: rental properties perth houses for rent perth One of these site is rentfind.com.au. Looking at the competitive domain analysis between us and rentfind we are better in every measurement. I have compared our backlinks and there isn't too much difference with who is linking to us. My conclusion is that there is something wrong with the way we are organising our content for search engines. I think that it could be because of our search drill-down from our home page, but before I do anything drastic it would be good to get some feedback on what we could be doing wrong.

"Products 1-20" text in the Serp Results

We have e-commence site (zen-cart) and we use our category pages (which has the list of the products) as landing pages. In the Serp results our link is showing up like this Our Page Title www.link.com Rich snip stuff Products 1 - 40 of 93 - Meta Description text I just wanted to know where its getting the "Products 1 - 40 of 93" from, and can it be removed (if we wanted to)? On the landing page say "Displaying 1 to 40 (of 93 products)", But i looked in to the source and it does not say "Products 1 - 40 of 93" anywhere, so google must be coming up with that text. I have noticed other zen-cart sites have the same text, and other e-commence sites have something similar like " 20+ Products"

Internal links - is div on click still no followed by google?

Hi Mozzers Does anyone know if are still no followed by Google From a UX perspective, making a container div clickable will work well, but i don't want this link to absorb any link juice as text within the div would make much better anchor text, so i would rather that link was receiving the juice. Is the above the best approach to this issue of UX vs SEO? Many thanks Justin

Google & Separators

This is not a question but something to share. If you click on all of these links and compare the results you will see why _ is not a good thing to have in your URLs. http://www.google.com/search?q=blue http://www.google.com/search?q=b.l.u.e http://www.google.com/search?q=b-l-u-e http://www.google.com/search?q=b_l_u_e http://www.google.com/search?q=b%20l%20u%20e If you have any other examples of working separators please comment.
