      Greetings MOZ Community:

      I operate a real estate web site in New York (www.nyc-officespace-leader.com) that I suspect has been hit by Panda 4.0.  I believe a problem is thin content on product pages, which in my case are 350 listing pages.

      However I am also looking at how title and description tags are formatted for these 350 pages to ensure this is not a factor in the ranking drop.

      The title descriptions are written like this: <title></span><span class="webkit-html-tag">Flatiron loft for rent | West 21st Street | 1441SF $6604/month</span><span class="webkit-html-tag"></title>

      Is this sufficiently diverse? Will constantly repeating various street names,  square footages and prices work against me? Will Google in a sense consider this thin or repetitive content? It does provide the visitor with key information.

      The descriptions meta tags are written along these lines: description" content="One of the most desirable full floor sublets in Midtown South. Recent build out, pristine condition, panoramic views, tech chic, spectacular. Top location." /><meta< span=""></meta<>

      From an SEO perspective are these critical tags written the way they should be?

      Thanks everyone!! Alan

        The title and description look good to me, if i was going to modify is myself, i would add some of this Flatiron loft for rent | West 21st Street to the description tag and also add more of a location in the title and description such as: NYC or New York City, ya know?
