Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Devanur,

This was indeed the problem.  Trying different keywords resulted in different title texts.

Nothing to do with the 301s after all.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Devanur,

I did the redirects Friday, so it seems odd that it has made a difference so soon.  On looking at it further I found that all pages that had a redirect added last Friday have the wrong title in googles serp whilst the pages that didn't get redirected to remain unchanged??

I am confident all the page titles were correct before I did the redirect.

The titles that have been attributed to my current pages are from old pages that were removed in October??

I'm wondering if google got mixed up when crawling my site.

Hi,

This is a new one to me ?!

I recently added some 301 redirects from pages that I've removed from my site.  Most of them just redirect to my home page, whilst a few redirect to appropriate replacement pages.  The odd thing is that when I now search my keywords googles serp shows my website with a title that was on some of the old (now removed and redirected) pages.

Is this normal?  If so, how should I prevent this from happening?  What is going on?

The only reasons I set up the redirects was to collect any link juice from the old pages and prevent 404s. Should I remove the 301s?

I fetched as google and submitted - to see if that updates the tags. (not been indexed yet)

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Tony
