Mysterious dynamic title tags? Why does my site display 2 different title tags in google?

Chris Sweeney · 11-20-2010, 05:24 AM

If you do a search for "remy front lace wigs" you will see that my website remyfrontlacewigs.com is #1 or something. Look at the title tag. It says: remy front lace wigs (which isn't my real title tag). However, if you search for the term "front lace wigs", I'm like #4 or #5 and it displays my real title tag, which is: Front Lace Wigs at RemyFrontLaceWigs.com.

What's up with that glitch? Anyone else ever experience that? 2 different title tags when 2 different keywords are searched? Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Google has always selected titles and snippets that they feel are most relevant for the search query.

Looks like G picked the text from your Meta-Keywords?

I say that because the Title in Google SERPs is all lower case text. The only place you have that exact lower case text is in the Meta-Keywords.

This screen shot is from your Index pages Google Cache, notice the highlighted text is case sensitive & is the only text on that page that has 100% match.

I know the same text is in your Index page <h1>, but I think G would have used those uppercase letters in the SERP title If that was the actual text they parsed (which I don't think it is).

And you guys said they Meta-Keyword doesn't work.

I know Yukon already showed you... man you have got ALOT of garbled up code going on in your header!!! It looks so SLOPPY! This is one reason why I HATE wordpress sites! Lol! HTML optimization is sooooo much easier IMO! But then again I'm just good with code

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US"><head><title>Front Lace Wigs at RemyFrontLaceWigs.com</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

Try setting it up like this:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>Front Lace Wigs at RemyFrontLaceWigs.com</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"

CHEERS!
