Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Gary is absolutely correct. Google can alter your page Titles and Descriptions if they find are not appropriate and can even fetch descriptions from other prominent websites where your website is listed with a description. The best example of such prominent website is the Open Directory Project, Dmoz.org. So its always recommended to come up with relevant page titles and descriptions that are unique for all your pages. Most of the time, Google will take the titles and descriptions mentioned by the webmaster in the title tag and description meta tag, but there is no guarantee that this happens 100% of the time. If your website is listed on dmoz and you do not want Google to pickup the description from there, you can use the page level robots meta tag as follows: Similarly if you do not want Google to pickup the description from Yahoo directory, Use your page titles and descriptions in such a way that they force the visitor to click on your website in the search results. The title should contain your target term in it. See to it that the Titles and Descriptions have a strong compelling message. Using titles and descriptions optimally can have dramatic improvement in CTR from search results. Best, Devanur Rafi

It's most likely that Google is ignoring this, and will continue to ignore it. There are just too many meta tags that you can include, and Google knows they're often used manipulatively. Unless you were using the meta expiry tag a lot and completely correctly, search engines will probably ignore it. (By correctly, I mean, use it for pages that actually do expire, then cutting off internal links after this date.) That said, it's probably best to remove this tag.

I don't think it matters where the 302 is coming from, 302 means a ranking drop. The fact that you saw no effect probably means there were other changes to offset it, or that it just take Google longer to respond to it. Regardless, I wouldn't leave a site with 302 on a ranking pages, it's just asking for trouble. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply I thought the same. But when I am trying to check a portion of my site content, its appearing in Google SERPs while trying different set of text its not coming up. I dont know this is do do with the different JS files we are using and possibility some Google can pass through and be able to crawl content within them and some not. Any thoughts?
