Updated title tags not displayed in SERPs?
-
A couple weeks ago I updated the title tags and URLs of some of my site's top landing pages, but the new versions aren't indexed in Google. Webmaster tools says that my site has been crawled since updated.
I'm using a pretty old version of Joomla for a CMS, and had to fight with the plugins a little bit to make it all work (sh404SEF for the URLs and sh404SEF Custom Tag Module for the title tags).
For example, www.radiussecurityinc.com's indexed title is still:
Radius Security Solutions | Home
But should be:
CCTV System Design - IP Industrial Surveillance | Radius Security
Other pages besides the home page have the old title tags as well as old URLs.
Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks a lot in advance!

If you visit the pages yourself and the website shows the correct (new) title in the title bar and address bar of your browser, Google will find out sooner or later and start using the new titles and URLs. Patience is all it takes!

Google may have crawled your site, but has not updated its cached version of the homepage since June 3rd (where the title tag was in fact different). I'd wait it out a little bit more, I'm sure you'll see it update soon.

PS - you can just click on "cached" next to any search result to see the most resent version.

I have this same issue also. Larger sites get updated quicker than smaller sites. Give it a bit more time.
