Page Title & Meta Description Getting Cut Off In The SERPs

[StoryScout]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to figure out why my page titles and meta d tags are getting cut off in Goofle SERPS.

My page titles are 70 characters or under (including spaces) and my meta Dd's are 155 characters or under (including spaces) so I cannot work out why They are getting cut off.

Is there something I have missed?!

Thanks,

Meaghan

Title tag guidelines have changed. Check out this post by Dr. Pete at http://moz.com/blog/new-title-tag-guidelines-preview-tool

I read a couple articles about the issue a while back. Search engines do not actually use a hard number of characters in both the title and the descriptions. They actually use a pixel width.
