The website of a legal firm I work with has been cached but the description in Google has information about viagra (nothing to do with the website). At the moment it is just a holding page. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...B321&q=david+price&btnG=Search&meta=&aq=f&oq= Does anyone know how this would have happended and how it can be resolved. At the time it didn't have a meta description. This has now been added. Is it just a matter of waiting (and encouraging) Google to re-cache it or can the process be speeded up in any way? Thanks to anyone who can help. Would be much appreciated.
yes. there is a meter of time while google indexes the new meta description. I wait for about 3 4 months for my site to have the new description... even now when i search somehow for my site i find the last description of it .. so all you have to do is to wait
If Googlebot is used as the user-agent your site shows a different page, one about viagra. I just looked with firefox and the plug-in from http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/ Check your htaccess file and the server config file for user-agent googlebot Have a read of http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1389372 from post 13 for more details, they had the same problem.
yes, that is what google see's. Someone has messed with (or hacked) the htaccess file or config file at some time. You need to find and correct the file before google will see what is really there. If you are not on a vps or dedicated server and you can find nothing wrong with your htaccess file you will need to ask your webhost to check the server config files for googlebot rewrites.
