Issue Meta Description

**GK User** Mon Jan 05, 2015 6:01 am Reply with quote Report this post

Hello

For some reasons Google has indexed the following for my website meta description

Particulars · Web · PC · MAC · Blog · Contact. Loading. http://www.joomgeek.com/modules/mod_ima ... 84.pnglink.

However it should be this

Code: Select all: <meta name="description" content="SEO, PPC, Web Development, Inbound Marketing & Google Trainer Specialists. We Train, Develop & Support the Digital Marketing of Worldwide Companies to Skyrocket your Digital ROI" />

You can try googling Joomgeek. However on bing it's normally displayed. What can be the issue ?

Hi,
we known , this is old bug in module.
But Google also is "stupid" sometimes it takes what he wants.
Please try to update module and send sitemap again into google, wait 1-2 weeks.
If not help let me know.

Probably your site was indexed before you have changed the meta description (or simply added it). Now you need to wait at least few weeks for google to reindex the page.

Hello

Still not fixed

it's been 5 days now

Is there anything else to fix ?

**GK User** Sun Jan 11, 2015 11:16 am Reply with quote Report this post

"few weeks" means patience. Depending on the case sometimes it might take few months

. You can try to post site map through google tool for webmasters which might speed up a little bit, but simply in will not happen within 5 days.

Please let us know when google will reindex and correct the description.

I suggest resend sitemap.xml using Google Webmaster tool, it may help reduce waiting time.

**GK User** Wed Jan 14, 2015 2:57 am Reply with quote Report this post

BTW
check what content you have here: modules/mod_image_show_gk4/cache/

**GK User** Wed Jan 14, 2015 9:17 am Reply with quote Report this post

I added a screen shot of what I have:

In the index.html this is what we have.

<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></body></html>

Should I remove all files ?

Hello ! Sorry to bother just wanna know if you have any update on the last post. Tks a lot !

**GK User** Sun Jan 25, 2015 8:39 am Reply with quote Report this post

Still no update into Google index

**GK User** Sun Jan 25, 2015 6:20 pm Reply with quote Report this post

Right now,

The document name you requested (/modules/mod_image_show_gk4/cache/banners.slider1gk-is-584.pnglink) could not be found on this server.

It means that I suggest using Google Webmaster Tools delete those URL and all broken similar and ... should be okey.

Hello

Tks a lot ! However I was wondering if I still have to remove the files here on my ftp modules/mod_image_show_gk4/cache/

What do think ?

**GK User** Mon Jan 26, 2015 8:09 am Reply with quote Report this post

cache folder must be there, if you want to use cache for this module.

**GK User** Mon Jan 26, 2015 8:09 am Reply with quote Report this post

I mean the files inside

**GK User** Mon Jan 26, 2015 8:15 am Reply with quote Report this post

If their filenames looks normal/typical, you don't have to.

**GK User** Mon Jan 26, 2015 8:16 am Reply with quote Report this post

**GK User** Mon Jan 26, 2015 8:46 am Reply with quote Report this post

Check also if yo don't have more "weird" urls and remove them also.

Hello ! Still nothing

I've checked in Webmastertool and resubmit again and nothing happened ... any new idea to test on this ?

**GK User** Tue Feb 10, 2015 11:07 pm Reply with quote Report this post

Still nothing

Means that Google is still indexing you "fake" url ? or what exactly.

**GK User** Wed Feb 11, 2015 6:28 am Reply with quote Report this post

If you google "joomgeek" the snippet is still not the one you'll find with ctrl+u on the home page.

So really don't understand thise issue

You can also change and use other slideshow module if this may help.
But as we know both Google rules it own rules.

As we said - few weeks - 6 if I count correctly

.

Actually it's much faster. I had to put back 2 week backup and the next day meta was wrong again. I've updated again the module dupplicate it, remove the original one and I ask google to test my main page. Let c again

**GK User** Sun Feb 15, 2015 7:41 am Reply with quote Report this post

I do confirm the solution.

> Update of the module
> Duplicate and remove the initial module
> Empty cache
> ask google to test the home page

Fixed in 24h on Google serps

Fast... Perhaps google now treats your site like one that changes content everyday - so it crawls it more often. Not known are the ways of google

**GK User** Mon Feb 16, 2015 8:38 pm Reply with quote Report this post

Fastest is to send a test indexation so you're sure google goes there
