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

Does Google Understand H2 As Subtitle?
I use some HTML 5 tags on my custom template. I implement <header class="entry-header-outer"> Flavour & Chidinma – 40 Yrs 40 Yrs by Flavour & Chidinma </header> html code. h1 tag serves as the title, while h2 tag servers as the subtitle of the post. Take a look at it here: https://xclusiveloaded.com/flavour-chidinma-40-yrs/ I want to know if it's ok or should I remove the h2 tag. Guys, what is your thoughts?

Webs Pages not correct
First of all I am a beginner but that will show with this question. I have moved my website from Wix to Web.com. I had the dns I think that is correct re-direct my site to web.com. Since then some of the pages from wix still show up even though they are no long apart of my site. Secondly when I go to google and type in cestoday.com some of the pages gives me a 401 or 404 error code, and others do not link to the proper page on my website. They go to my web-site but not the correct page. What do I do. Thank you Dave

90 days for Google
Hi, I'm new to Moz so still getting a feel of the forums. If my question has been answered then please point me in the right direction. I have noticed with many SEO companies they advertise that they can get you on google front page in 90 days. I'm not really interested in their techniques but more of why google takes 90+ to even appear. I have been working on my site for over a month, adding content, building good links, social media, blogs etc... but have not even come close to appearing in the top 50 pages for google. Is this normal? Is it just a matter of time before it starts to appear? Also, I have checked my backlinks and there is about 8 links that are coming from random pages in the US and some from China and india which i have no idea of. I tried to visit on of the sites but it had malware. I added all these back links to google disavow so hopefully that will fix it. Could that be the reason google would not even list my site? Thanks... Rick

Anyone know of a tool to monitor site for outgoing links?
Is there any type of tool that can monitor a large website's outgoing links? I'm dealing with a huge site and was hoping there was something available that could check outgoing links without having to go through each page manually. (I'm looking to remove anything that links to a bad neighborhood). Thanks.

How to properly remove pages and a category from Google's index
I want to remove this category http://www.webdesign.org/web-design-news-all/ and all the pages in that category (e.g. http://www.webdesign.org/web-design-news-all/7386.html ) from Google's index. I used the following string in the "Reomval URS" section in Google Webmaster Tools: http://www.webdesign.org/web-design-news-all/* is that correct or I better use http://www.webdesign.org/web-design-news-all/ ? Thanks in advance.
