This is weird:
For this site: oiltradingbroker.com
On google, the homepage's meta title tag appears as: "oil trading broker"
the sites true meta title is:
"Crude Oil Trading Systems, Tips, and Guides To Forex Trade"
On yahoo the true meta tag appears.
Anyone knows why this happens?

  • Yep, the Google bots either haven't crawled it since you updated it or they have crawled it but haven't updated it in their index yet.

    Keep building backlinks and more bots will crawl your site giving you faster updates.

    Usually takes a few days (completely depending on the authority and traffic of your site currently though)

    • Google can also take Rich snippets of your site as it is deemed relevant. Often I see Google utilize some anchor text or an <h1> tag in the SERP if it thinks it is more relevant than the title I assigned it.

  • I thought SE's use the HTML title tag (<title>) as the title used in the SERPs, which is not necessarily the same as a meta title tag...
