Title: old metas?
Post by: Gurtie on January 25, 2015, 02:33:56 PM
has anyone seen, ether personally or on your trawls through other forums. mention of old meta descriptions being used?

One of my clients emailed me yesterday asking why a meta we changed 6 months ago was bing picked up by Google.  Its only on certain searches and it makes sense in that the keywords it appears for are better represented in that meta - but it is the old meta, not words from elsewhere on the page, or commented out, or anything... the G cache shows the new meta and it has been ages....

Was just wondering if its to do with Pigeon, or something else if afoot - at the very least it incicates Google stores old meta data for a hell of a long time!

Interesting. You sure it's not the old Yahoo or Dmoz descriptions?
