Google indexed page description as title

Post by phil09 » Sun Sep 30, 2012 11:39 pm

Hi everyone,

I just noticed that Google indexed one of my pages with the description as the title It can be seen here https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=canna ... 80&bih=707

Any ideas why this would happen ?

I use SEO-Generator and SEO Canonicalisation Plugin .Only recently added the SEO Canonicalisation Plugin.

I use http://www.web-site-map.com to generate the xml sitemap, I have not added the latest pages to it.

This is the first time Google has indexed a page from my site in this way. It only seems to be indexed that way in Google, Yahoo is fine.

Using a sitemap might not generate huge advantages right away but as search engines improve their sitemap indexing algorithms, it is expected that more and more sites will be indexed fast via sitemaps.
