Wrong page title in Google
-
Hi there,
A while ago we took over the domain www.hoesjes.nl and forwarded it to our website www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl. If you perform a search for the keyword 'hoesjes' in Google then we (www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl) show up on an organic number 1 position. The problem is that the page title isn't correct. Google shows the page title of the website hoesjes.nl we took over and (correctly?) redirected to our domain www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl.
Does anybody have any idea how to get rid of this wrong page title in Google?
Here you can find a screenshot of what I mean.Thanks!

Hi Sean,
Thanks for your reply.
We took over this domain a while ago now (like 6-8 months) so Google should have indexed all the right data already. Last week I had made some minor changes in our backoffice which I hoped it would solve the problem (it didn't), and right after that action I asked Google to recrawl the homepage. I did this via Google Webmaster Tools indeed.
So I guess is still need your help :).

Hi there,
Your page title has been correctly output on the homepage URL so this might be something to do with the fact that Google hasn't fully updated its index for your site yet.
My advice would be to Ask Google to re-crawl your URLs (have a look over the link). You'll need to have access to Google Search Console to do this, which I can only assume you will. If it still hasn't updated in a couple of days then come back to the Moz community and we'll be happy to look over it again.
All the best,
Sean

Google Search Console Showing 404 errors for product pages not in sitemap?
We have some products with url changes over the past several months. Google is showing these as having 404 errors even though they are not in sitemap (sitemap shows the correct NEW url). Is this expected? Will these errors eventually go away/stop being monitored by Google?

Will Adding Publish Date at end of Page Title for Blog posts Hurt SEO?
I'd like to be able to easily track blog posts by month but in Google reports when you set a date range obviously older blog post still appear and with amount of blog posts we generate without seeing the date in the title it's not obvious what was published and when it was published. For example if a Blog Title was "/dangers-of-sharing-KM-knowledge-01-11-15 would it hurt SEO? The reason is I'd like to have a quick way to know how new posts do each month compared to older content

NoIndex/NoFollow pages showing up when doing a Google search using "Site:" parameter
We recently launched a beta version of our new website in a subdomain of our existing site. The existing site is www.fonts.com with the beta living at new.fonts.com. We do not want Google to crawl the new site until it's out of beta so we have added the following on all pages: However, one of our team members noticed that google is displaying results from new.fonts.com when doing an "site:new.fonts.com" search (see attached screenshot). Is it possible that Google is indexing the content despite the noindex, nofollow tags? We have double checked the syntax and it seems correct except the trailing "/". I know Google still crawls noindexed pages, however, the fact that they're showing up in search results using the site search syntax is unsettling. Any thoughts would be appreciated! DyWRP.png
