Something's really weird with indexing...

jrjp27 · 03-24-2006, 12:30 AM

Hi, I was waiting for my site to get indexed by Google, or reindexed I should say, and it did, but now it shows up weird. When I search for "bikedisplay" in Google, without quotations, it doesn't show any of the info in my meta tags. Almost as if it ignored them. Same goes for MSN search, except that one shows the copyright line that is at the bottom of my site. Does anybody know what's wrong, or how to fix this?brbrThank you.brbrEdit: Just checked it in MSN search a minute ago, and it's not even there anymore.........br

Interesting.
My default search is google.ca, and you're the number 1 result for a search I just did for the term.
Perhaps they don't like that much repetition of the keywords. Like the word "motorcycle" appearing five times. But that's just a guess.

Hi mondine,

Thank you for checking out my meta tags, I noticed through the logs that somebody came from google.ca

The problem is really not that the result would appear first or not, but that it's not showing description of the site in google results. As far as motorcycle word being mentioned 5 times, I thought Google didn't even look at meta keywords...

I just can't believe it takes so long to reindex the website, especially even when I have the sitemap submitted.

Google is in the middle of an update and a change in algorithm, Things are kinda foggy now. This may be part of the problem. Just give it some time and let things settle then see what you have.
