    Type "general forum" into Google. See the result for http://cooll.net? That's normal.

    But then type "gaming forum." He is page 1 for that as well but the thing is Google thinks the title is gaming forum but when you click it you can see it still says General Forum.

    How'd this happen?

    Maybe it was named Gaming Forum in the recent past? Or there is some type of metatag or keyword string Google is picking up for gaming forum? That would be my guess.

    That's quite strange. I tried it with the other phrases in the meta description (ex. webmaster forum) and it did not repeat this result, it's only happening for gaming forum. I also checked to see that Google doesn't find "gaming" to be a synonym for "general" and they don't. Anyone else have any thoughts?

    that can have various reasons which are hard to pinpoint exactly, tbh. most likely, he may have, or had, some backlinks with that anchor text.

    Maybe the site owner is using link pushing service.
