[Please help!] Google thinks my main money site is Spanish o.o
It took a large cut of my earnings with it but it wasn't entirely unexpected since I know large changes like this can cause a shake up and it takes time for Google to settle again.
But I searched today on Google.com for mydomain.com to see if it has cached the recent changes and I noticed something.
Google thinks my site is in Spanish.
The title and description shown on Google is in Spanish (and not really related) and it offers to translate it over to English.
Back on page 10 or so it has an internal page which is ranking with it's correct title/description at least but it's the homepage which is showing up in Spanish and that's what usually ranks.
So this apparently has happened. Since the title is in Spanish it's obviously no longer my main keywords which might explain why the rankings have plummeted.
I just can't figure out why it's happened or how to fix it. My site title etc... is set (I've used platinum SEO for while) and the <title> tags are normal. Whatever Spanish that title and description is coming from is not in the page source.
I'm no great shakes with HTML but I can't see anything which should be telling Google that my site is Spanish.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US">
I mean surely that alone should say it's English. If you know... all the English isn't enough of a hint.
I'm assuming the new theme has something to do with it and I'm going to revert to the old one today, but I can't see anything in the code which should be causing that.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
