Expert Advice Required- Title Tag in Browser & SERPs differ

Post by mobilebazaar » Mon Apr 14, 2014 4:20 pm

Hi,

I am having some strange problem with my website. The title tag of some pages that appear on Browser Header do not match with the results showing in Search Engine Results Pages.

For example, when i view the page

Code: Select all

http://www.mobilebazaar.pk/nokia-mobiles-prices
in browser, it shows the title as "Nokia Mobiles Prices in Pakistan"

but

when i view results in google for the same page (appears at no.2

Code: Select all

https://www.google.com/#q=nokia+mobiles+prices+mobile+bazaar
the title shows as "Nokia Mobiles Prices - Mobile Prices in Pakistan"

[Moreover, the google cache page shows title as "Nokia Mobiles Prices"]

I am pretty confused. Strangely, the Google Rich Snippet Tool shows the accurate title as shown in browser (1st one). I have also confirmed that google has crawled the webpage yesterday and i m facing issues from some days earlier.

I am using SH404SEF & DJ Catalogue2 Extensions.

Anyone Guide Me Please

This is almost definitely a case where Google crawled your site when the titles were one way, and then you changed them, and Google hadn't yet re-crawled to update.

Let us know this problem didn't fix itself or you still need help.

It shows that your website has not been completely crawled by the google bot. It is wise to keep updating your website to make the google bot to crawl frequently. So, that your title tag in browser and SERP won't get differ it will be get corrected automatically.

Sometimes Google chooses to display a different title then the one the page has. If they determine that it is more relevant.
