Old/wrong meta-titles in index
-
Hi,
We have problems with old Meta titles in the index of google.nl. If you look for example at this wine:
https://www.wijnvoordeel.nl/Italie/Just-Hugo::5460.html
The Meta tile is: **Just Hugo | Heerlijke Hugo | Het zomerdrankje van 2014 | Wijnvoordeel **
If you look at the results in Google:
https://www.google.nl/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#safe=active&q=just hugo
The Meta tile is: Just Hugo - Wijnvoordeel(this is an old/automatic generated Meta tile).
I already added the code "", but I don't see any progress. Does anybody knows what could be the problem?
Thanks for the help!

You could extend that meta robots tag a bit: name="robots" content="index,follow,noarchive,noodp" />
But depending on when you made the change, it may just be a caching issue - it was cached on Sept. 8, 2014.
You can use Google's Fetch as Google or Structured Data Testing Tools in Webmaster Tools to make sure the title tag is showing up properly for the next time Google crawls, but I doubt that expedites anything.
Probably just need to wait for them to crawl you again and update their index.

How long ago did you make the changes, it sometimes takes a little time for the meta data to be recrawled, resubmitted and indexed, I often don't see a change for a few days. I am going to presume if the meta was automated you are using a CMS of some sorts. Might be an idea to check your installation and settings to make sure you have cleared and reset them, upgraded them and also possibly reset your cache.
Google sometimes reallocates meta description to something that is more appropriate, but I have not seen it in titles.
I would imagine someone will probably have a better answer. But you can at least tick these of the list on the way to your solution.
