On-Page Report Card: Whats up with the TITLE of the page?
-
Started to fix the SEO issues on a customers website.
When I run a "On-Page Report Card" It says that the title of the webpage:
www.visbymaklarna.se/visbymaklarna.htmlIs "visbymäklarna - Ditt förstahandsval på gotland."
But if I check in the source code of the webbrowser the title should be:
name="title" content="Vi är mäklarna på Gotland som sätter människan i första rummet" />(Actually this is with special encoding for the swedish characters. The title in coded text is: "Vi är mäklarna på Gotland som sätter människan i första rummet")
Anyway the title of the webpage source code and the title of what SEOmoz reports is different.
Why is that?

I searched for your page and looked at the code.
You have in line 6:
<title>visbymäklarna - Ditt förstahandsval på gotland.</title>
This is the title of the page, and this is correctly reported by SEOMoz.
On line 9 you also have:
This is a metatag that I'm not sure search engines take into consideration, because I personaly can't find any official documentation about this.
What matters is what you put in the <title>...</title> tag, that is considered the title of the page.

But of course

The back-end is configured badly and show things wrong. A bit stressed today and missed this.
Thanks!
