Why does google show two different titles for my rankings?

[junkcars]

I have two keywords I am ranked for but google is showing two different title tags. One is the more updated version while the other is the older version. In all in one seo pack it shows the updated title tag but google still shows the old Why is this?

Is Google showing an old page title you used ? Something from DMOZ or Yahoo Directory maybe ?

What I think it could be is that Google is using snippets of text on your page to generate the Page Title / Meta description to make it more relevant to the keyword you are searching for.

Let me know what you see.

Are you sure they are the exact same URL, maybe one has a trailing slash or something? If you share the search results we could give you a definitive answer.

For the past couple of years, if not longer, Google has adjusted the title displayed in the SERP based on the query that you are using. This happens even to Apple Computers.
