    Hello guys,

    Search for Stream live sports ( streamlivesports.com ) on Google and See the Description given..

    It says "News, highlights, interviews, and links to live streams." - Have not placed that description.. You can even see the source of my site.. You wont find that text.. Some time ago, The description used to be the description I decided and I also kept changing if to test any SERP difference..

    But Now I m stuck.. What do to.. ? How to fix.. and why Has google done this to me.. Is this some sort of penalty.. ?

    It's your dmoz description.
    If you don't want that to show you need to add a no odp (no open directory project) meta tag - like this


    <meta name=”robots” content=”noodp”>

    Let's 'suppose' it works? Don't be so fecking rude. I identified the issue and told you the solution. Look it up if you don't understand it, instead of being so mealy mouthed.
    How long it takes Google to read the tag depends on how often they crawl your site.

    I dint mean to be rude.. I was just considering the suggestion of the other two posters as well, as they said its a matter of time.. Anyways, if its a matter of crawling..Then I guess its gonna be fixed pretty soon =D
