[Fir Tree Design]

Hi All,

Something very strange is happening, when i type in my sites name in google its picking up on the wrong meta tag description! I've turned off the IP address in admin this morning so thats one part solved!

Before today Google was before displaying the sites info fine and I haven't touched anything!

Does anyone have any ideas to what is going on.

Not quite sure, though there isnt any real content on your front page other than pictures, so Google was picking up main relevant text on the page....but looking at your source you should put lots more description in your meta-description tag - basically, all the stuff you have in your keywords tag.

Thanks for that all the products have there own meta tag words, where should I go for the front page keywords, index.php, meta_tags.php.

Still not sure why google listed it like that as before it was picking up on the descriptor!

In Metatags.php

I find google doesnt always use the product tags, and sometimes only uses the tagline tag in metatags.php

Maybe when google first indexed your page, you didnt have that front page description entered?

meta_tags.php hasn't been changed, this is what I had:


// page title
define('TITLE', 'RED - Recovery Equipment Direct');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'Suppliers of Vehicle Equipment and Truck Building Accessories for Recovery and Transport Vehicles');

// Custom Keywords
define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'Recovery Equipment | Workwear | Straps & Ratchets | Winches | Lifting Gear | Hoists | Vehicle Body Fittings | Towing Equipment | Starting Equipment | Truck Parts');

// Home Page Only:
define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION', 'Recovery Equipment Direct');
define('HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS', 'Recovery Equipment | Workwear | Straps & Ratchets | Winches | Lifting Gear | Hoists | Vehicle Body Fittings | Towing Equipment | Starting Equipment | Truck Parts');

// NOTE: If HOME_PAGE_TITLE is left blank (default) then TITLE and SITE_TAGLINE will be used instead.
define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', 'RED - RECOVERY EQUIPMENT DIRECT'); // usually best left blank

Do you think I should had more to this then?

Sorry to be a pain and thanks for your help!

Yes, copy everything you have in the keywords tag after the text in your description. The keywords tags are ignored by Google, but the description tag is very important.
