Hi, I recently added meta descriptions to all my articles in joomla. Its been around month now and every time I check on google site:flipstylepro.com it still has not updated yet. If you look at all my meta descriptions in google they are all the same still. I was wondering if anyone knows how long it usually takes for it change.
It depands on Search engines to crawl and show your website Meta Tags, But dont be worry Google is taking time and will display your description shortly. keep posting your website to get backlinks
Oh Ok Thanks. I guess I just goto wait a bit longer and keep on adding content. Thats one thing I am working on now which is getting backlinks for my website.
It depends on how often Google crawls your site - which is usually determined by how important your site is considered (pr gives a ROUGH idea) and how often Google has noticed changes in the past. From memory, the site map file does enable you to say how often each page changes - but am not sure how much attention google pays to this.
I checked my sitemap settings. Change frequency is on daily and priority is on .5 is that normal or should it be on something else?
and the google bot it depend on your web. server speed is one important things to your web. the more faster to load the more bot crawl your site. but it's only 1 things from many things that google bot love at your website.
Its all depend on the information available on that web page when the search engines crawler parse out that specific web page to index out the updated meta tags from the web page.
bookmark your site or submit your site in twitter or post a comment on blog, you will get fast crawl for that page.
Just continue your link building method, it may take some time before the old cache will be replaced by the updated one.
With Google now it can take an extraordinary amount of time for the cache to clear Build some proper backlinks so that your site will be found sooner and faster - rather than never Articles can help
Give some time for crawlers to index your page...Till google or yahoo catch the page the meta tags or anything will be indexed... so even if you are changing the tags give some time for bots to spider and crawl the webpage...
