Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Why Google not picking My META Description? Google itself populate the description.. How to control this Search Snippets??

Zac,

Thanks for the detailed response. While I haven't yet fully analyzed what you have asked us to do, few points,

1. We are using "mobi" instead of "m.", so the two domains are totally distinct. Is this a bad strategy.

2. The headers in the web and mobile version have a meta tag to point to the other version of the article (link media=handheld, link media=screen)

3. Which SEOmoz tools do we need to use to compare the two pages (we are new to seomoz)

4. One concern we have: Google quickly crawls our mobi site but not our web version of the article. We don't see any offending warnings on Google webmaster tools

5. We will do the xhtml thingy today

regards

Mahesh

hi

Please see the URL http://news.oneindia.in/2011/10/22/tech-gmail-to-get-a-makeover-soon-google.html
The corresponding mobile version is http://news.oneindia.mobi/2011/10/22/886893.html

If we search for "Google video leaks; Gmail to get a make over soon" on Google the mobi version comes up instead of the web version. One reason could be because of the browser title. We do use meta title in our web version of the article.

For the past few months our mobi version of the file comes up higher on SERPs when compared to the web version. What could be the reason?

We have already done that in  Webmaster tools but there is no change in the indexing rate. We would like to know if the hosting change from US to India is affecting us and if yes is there a way to fix it.

hello,

Our site was hosted in North America and Google was crawling it reasonably fast. Since our traffic is mostly from India we moved it to India, now the crawling is terribly slow from Google. Is there anyway to fix the crawl rate(we have increased the crawl rate in GWT)
