Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I think that's the way to go, my brain on a Friday isn't coming up with anything else!

I will experiment and see what works and report back.

Yes, exactly my thinking or along those lines.

Trying to think of a way of getting rid, without having to change the website for the worse.

Take a look at this

I think the problem is that Google is detecting text on the page and then converting this into a special grey prefix on the SERP snippet description.

E.g the client has "Showing 1 - 15 of 87 results for 'xxx' " on their page. And they'll want to keep that... but we don't want Google magically detecting that and turning it into the prefix.

It's using the meta description, but adding the "Results 1 - 20 of 47" in front of it. It's a automated thing Google does and the text doesn't exist on the website anywhere.

You'll often see it on Amazon results also.

So that's not the answer.

Try Googling "amazon nike trainers" and hopefully you'll see what I mean.

We are trying to optimise our SERP snippet in Google to increase CTR, but we have this horrid "Results 1 - 20 of 47" in the description.

We feel this gets in the way of the message and so wish to remove it, but how??

Any ideas apart from removing the paging from the page?

I have to promote an affiliate scheme, and am drawing up a list of techniques that I can use to get people interested and sign up to it.

Currently I have:

• Promoting the scheme in any article promotion.
• Identifying relevant websites to the scheme, and contacting them directly.
• Networking in affiliate forums and communities.
• Promoting on Facebook and Twitter.
• Possibly producing a video reviewing the scheme and posting it onto YouTube and other video sites.

Can anyone think of any other techniques that I could try using?

Cheers.
