But if I search in Google blog result then It is showing my webpages in Google blog results.  I want to know what is problem with my webpages. Why they are coming in Google blog search instead of Google web search?

Basically I have a website.  I have a properly setup sitemap so I assume Google knows about all of my pages.  And I've seen on some sites, the search form leads to a page with the shell of the original site but the results are clearly provided by Google.  Similar to codinghorror.com's search, however his results aren't shown within his website's layout.  Any idea what I'm talking about or how to achieve this?

I've included my page title in the title tag in this format: " blah blah blah | sitename ". But for some reason it's showing up on Google search results as " sitename: blah blah blah ".  It shows up right on the actual tab itself, and even right on both Bing and Yahoo search, but different on Google search. Can't figure out why.  EDIT: Let me clarify: I really doubt that this is due to Google having not crawled my website yet. The title it previously had was very different from this (several different words), and the title that currently shows up on the search is not even remotely similar to my old one. Hence the confusion. And I've already submitted it and a sitemap to the Google webmasters tool.

All of a sudden, without any change in the index.html, our site is showing up in Google search results (on multiple browsers and devices) with Google Preview text that, instead of giving a summary of our site, now says:     Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.     We have a YouTube embed on our homepage that does include an html5 parameter in the media URL link in the embed, but there are no issues playing the video with any browser and device we can find.  What would suddenly cause this text to appear in Google search results?   We are using the  tags as the metatags in the &lt;head&gt; of our webpage and do indeed have title and description tags.    To mimic the behavior of Googlebot, I installed Windows on a VM and got Chromium 41 running. I get the same Google Preview text with the html5 video message when the site comes up in Google search results using this browser.    When I view the site in Chromium 41, I see the YouTube embed and it renders on the page and plays with no issue, just as with all other browser and devices we've tested on. The only time we see this message is in the Google search results, not on our actual site.

The name of our company is G2 Builders - What is happening is that if you go to google and type in "G2 Builder" with no "s" at the end, our website has sitelinks.   When you type in our name with the "s" G2 Builders, we do not get sitelinks. My question is, does anyone know how I can fix this?

Does anyone know why Google shows my title twice in search results? And it's the wrong title too.  Here's a screenshot:

The problem is a whole load of 404 errors, as reported by Google Webmaster Tools, with pages and queries that have never been there. One of them is viewtopic.php, and I've also noticed a scary number of attempts to check if the site is a WordPress site (wp_admin) and for the cPanel login. I block TRACE already, and the server is equipped with some defense against scanning/hacking. However, this doesn't seem to stop. The referrer is, according to Google Webmaster, totally.me.  I have looked for a solution to stop this, because it isn't certainly good for the poor real actual users, let alone the SEO concerns.  I am using the Perishable Press mini black list (), a standard referrer blocker (for porn, herbal, casino sites), and even some software to protect the site (XSS blocking, SQL injection, etc). The server is using other measures as well, so one would assume that the site is safe (hopefully), but it isn't ending.  Does anybody else have the same problem, or am I the only one seeing this? Is it what I think, i.e., some sort of attack? Is there a way to fix it, or better, prevent this useless resource waste?  EDIT I've never used the question to thank for the answers, and hope this can be done. Thank you all for your insightful replies, which helped me to find my way out of this. I have followed everyone's suggestions and implemented the following:   a honeypot a script that listens to suspect urls in the 404 page and sends me an email with user agent/ip, while returning a standard 404 header a script that rewards legitimate users, in the same 404 custom page,  in case they end up clicking on one of those urls. In less than 24 hours I have been able to isolate some suspect IPs, all listed in Spamhaus. All the IPs logged so far belong to spam VPS hosting companies.   Thank you all again, I would have accepted all answers if I could.

As a matter of optimization, a few weeks ago I modified the way the titles of my blog posts are displayed (I made a change also in the title of the blog). Then I used the Google Webmaster Tools to re-index the old pages and update titles. Immediately I could update the titles and posts appear correctly on Google.  The problem is that now the titles of posts began to appear incorrectly in the search, using the old blog title. Some posts continue to display the updated title, but many recent posts show the old title.  I've tried re-index the pages with Google Webmaster Tools, but the titles remain unchanged in the search results.  Is there any way to "force" Google to display the correct titles?

Is there a way to limit search to post titles? I know I can modify query.php core file but there must be a way to do it with hooks right?  Thanks in advance!

I am using a keyword to display a website page on google search. After entering the keyword, on the first page of google, I am redirected to a page, whose domain is exactly similar to the website whose page I want to display, but it is showing a page which doesn't even exist on the domain. Also, as similar domain with spam characteristics is also getting displayed.   To practically demonstrate this issue, do follow the below steps.   Go to  Type dolce streichquartett and click on search. The 4th/5th URL has this link http://www.dolce-streichquartett.de/?high_ry=/casinos/de/spielautomaten-casino-bregenz.php, which is no where on the website and looks like spam The 7th/8th link you see is http://deonlinecasino.org/doc/kostenlos-roulette-spielen-spielgeld-ausdrucken.php, which is exactly similar to the above with the title as the keyword but a different domain.   What is this issue and why is this happening?

What approach should I take to make the website Google-friendly, .  The problem is that when a specific content is being requested (eg. ) user is taken to the page using scrollbar, though the surrounding content is still being loaded. How to tell Google that for this URL  only the #36 entry should be crawled.  Is there a tag or other way to select the surrounding content as irrelevant for the URL?

How do I prevent my XML sitemap files from showing up in Google search results like this result of a site: search query:    I don't understand why Google would choose to show sitemap files in search results to begin with.  These files are not meant for human consumption.  Google needs to be able to crawl it to be able to process it, so I can't disallow it in robots.txt.  I just don't want them to put it into the search results after processing it.

I've written an online book. When I search for the book on Google, it is labeled as &lt;no_title&gt; rather than the title in the HTML's &lt;title&gt; tag. Any idea how I can update the title in the Google search? Thanks!

I am currently trying to create a wordpress search function that shows live results underneath the search bar. There is an example on the  website (screens below). I'm not looking for an autofill like you would find on Google.com which completes words you type, rather I want it to find actual posts on the site.   I tried doing a scrub through Wordpress Answers and other similar resources but have only run into implementing a Google type search which is not what I am looking for. Any help or points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I have a bog standard WordPress 4.2.1 site. I recently added it to Webmaster Tools and it is showing me URL errors (404s) that are linked from a weird URL: http://com.example.www/:http  (I have replaced my domain name with 'example'.)  There are two URL errors shown in Crawl > Crawl Errors > Smartphone:   mobile/ m/   When I click on either of this items, a popup appears telling me that Google could not crawl the page because it is non existent (which is true). When I click the Linked From tab, it shows that it is linked from http://com.example.www/:http  Where is this weird URL coming from?  EDIT:  The .htaccess is as follows:  # Begin default subdomain redirect # RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.co.uk RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.co.uk/$1 [R=permanent,L]  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L] # End default subdomain redirect #  # BEGIN WordPress &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; # END WordPress
