Hi, Has anyone got an answer to why a meta description would be showing characters well above 160. The current Meta description is only 10 characters in length but I wanted to know why Google would display so many characters.
Cheers
Phil

Thanks Gagan for the reply. However, you reply is more towards where to use, whereas my query is one of our clients has already used this tag on their website. So, would it affect their website's indexing or caching? Thanks.
One of our client has a meta expire tag across all pages of their website.
Does that tag affect the website overall caching or indexing?
Their website pages including home page is crawled every 10 days, however the website is popular high traffic websites, receiving 240,000 visits/month.
Please advise what impact this tag will have on the website indexing and caching?
Thanks

Hi Guys
One of our client's website is having 586 linking unique domains to http://www.XYZ.com.au (to home page only).
They have migrated their site to https://www.XYZ.com.au so all of their site pages are on HTTPS now instead of HTTP.
The HTTP version of the home page is 302 redirected to HTTPS therefore we think they are not getting all the link juice of 586 linking domains and would like to recommend to change their 302 to 301.
However we have not seen any ranking drop due to this migration and redirect in place. The new HTTPS site/redirect is live from last 2 months now.
So not sure its worth recommending 301 or not?
Does this mean Google is picking up this 302 redirect as normal and attributing all link value to HTTPS version?
Please can anyone share their thoughts on recent Google interpretation of 302 from HTTP to HTTPS?
Thanks
Thanks for your reply
I thought the same. But when I am trying to check a portion of my site content, its appearing in Google SERPs while trying different set of text its not coming up.
I dont know this is do do with the different JS files we are using and possibility some Google can pass through and be able to crawl content within them and some not.
Any thoughts?
Across various websites we found Google cache version in the browser loads the full site and all content is visible. However when we try to view TEXT only version of the same page we can't see any content.
Example: we have a client with JS scroller menu on the home page. Each scroller serves a separate content section on the same URL.
When we copy paste some of the page content in Google, we can see that copy indexed in Google search results as well as showing in Cache version . But as soon as we go into Text Only version we cant see the same copy.
We would like to know which version we should trust, Google cache version or the TEXT only version.
