I updated my primary landing page title and meta description tag a few days ago. Then, I updated my sitemap and resubmitted it to Google's webmaster's tools. The SERP's still show my old page title and meta description, and I was wondering how long it typically took to spread through all the data centers. A few days? A few weeks? A month? A lifetime?
it depends on how long the bots will crawl your site again. just wait.. a week or so will do. be patient
What? Be patient? You mean if I make slight changes to my site the lazy b*stards at Google won't hop right on it? Methinks the folks in Mountain View are getting a wee bit cocky.
