Question about site title

Post by genozzolo » Mon Feb 11, 2013 7:10 pm

Hi guys

I followed this forum for years, time to make a question :p

I created a website for my new company ( http://www.aflsnc.com ), Joomla! 2.5.9 Stable - followed many guide ( im a newbye webmaster ) and tryed to reach a good page rank.

I assumed that page speed is a good meter.

http://gtmetrix.com/ show me page speed 98% and YSLOW 90%

Now I putted site online and im trying to reach higher positions on google, well im fighting against few and crappy sites so I hope to get good.

My problem is that on google my page show the menu name + site title for any article. Well I wanna get rid of site title cause they say it ruin SEO. An example : type " https://www.google.it/search?q=Smaltime ... e&ie=UTF-8"

On google the title look like "Cartone | Smaltimento Recupero Rifiuti Brescia e Lombardia" While I would like to be something else. I tryed to install Ijoomlaseo but didnt help, neither joomla boss and something else. Could be installing and removing those plugins gave more errors ?


I dont know if a plugin screwed it up, or If you could suggest me one plugin or solution to use.


Thanks a lot :)

Not sure, Buddy.

That's beyond my knowledge.. You could check seo simple forum for similar problem if you can't get a good answer here.. Also, consider posting in the general section instead of SEO if you think an extension didn't uninstall correctly.

No, I looked at the source code from your page.. You are telling Google to use that title.

Lucky you... I was looking at something else and found the answer to your problem.

Global Configuration / SEO Settings / Include Site Name in Page Title.

Yes?
