Ausgirl Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hello, I have the same title repeating itself over & over showing up in google looking like this: See Here! What do I need to change to stop this happening? Also how do I stop every description starting with: Home » Catalog » Skins » Xbox 360 » UXC52, My Account | Cart Contents | Checkout. CATAGORIES This is obviously the 1st thing the spider is seeing. How do I make it so its different for every page. Or is it best to delete the Home » Catalog » ect... from the top of the page. I use header tag controller but I dont think that has anything to do with it. Im sure Im typing something in somewhere I shouldnt be :rolleyes: Much Appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausgirl Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 As I stated, I already have one installed. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barefoot Kid Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 my guess is that google probably indexed ur site before u had the meta tags contribs installed so its displaying the 1st bit of text that it comes across, ie the breadcrumbs. now that u have the meta tags the next time google indexes ur site the proper description should appear which wont happen untill u install the meta tags contrib correctly: u have this... <meta name="Description" content="Shopping In Your Pjs: Australias online Variety Store!" /> <meta name="Keywords" content="Australias online Variety Store! - Variety, Shopping,pjs, Pyjamas,Australia,Toys,shopping,gifts,news, DVD, Movies,oscommerce,news,weather,free" /> but also this <!-- EOF: Generated Meta Tags --> <meta name="description" content="Elegant Evening Purse"> <meta name="keywords" content="Elegant Evening Purse"> description and keywords meta tags r being repeated, u should fix this asap, also the page title is very important and should be unique and reflect each page, u have the same page title for every page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausgirl Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 It only looks like that on the source page it doesnt look like that in my index because its the header tag controller code and I cant delete that. Yeh, thats on my products page. You know why? Because when you add a product you fill out the header tags for each one in the header product title/description/keywords. You do this for each product. Thats why this is popping up. <!-- EOF: Generated Meta Tags --> <meta name="description" content="Elegant Evening Purse"> <meta name="keywords" content="Elegant Evening Purse"> As for the other one, thats for my home/index page. Popping up on all pages. The descriptions are different but the title is the same for each product page. Which it shouldnt be. For example: Mysite: top>catalog>fishing>my account>cart>checkout Then description of the product. But they all start like that: Mysite: top>catalogue>fishing>my account>cart>checkout When they should be starting like this: Product (as title) Description. Hope I havent confused anyone.

Ausgirl Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 Can anyone tell me how and where to change my tags, so that they are different for each page? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill110 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 It looks like the contribution may not have been installed entirely or correctly. In the admin section when adding products you should be able to add the title tag just like the keywords. If it is not there you may need to rerun the sql. Also recheck the instructions for the index.php and all other files you had to edit for the meta tags and be sure the parts you needed to replace were. (ie. If instructions say replace the title tags with some code be sure they have been replaced and the code was not just added) My Contributions Stylesheet With Descriptions Glassy Grey Boxtops Our Products Meta Tags On The Fly Password Protect Admin "No matter where you go....There you are" - Buccaroo Bonsai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausgirl Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 yes, I did this. I am able to add the title page and tags when adding products, thats why this shows up. <meta name="description" content="Elegant Evening Purse"> <meta name="keywords" content="Elegant Evening Purse"> I have replaced the code, not just added it. I can post this part of my index.php if that helps. I have gone over the instructions and cant see that I have missed anything. (doesnt mean I didnt miss anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill110 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 If when you enter products there are 3 meta fields you can enter: Description Keywords Title then your catelog/includes/header_tags.php is not calling for the title tag. You show this showing up <meta name="description" content="Elegant Evening Purse"> <meta name="keywords" content="Elegant Evening Purse"> but there should also be one generated for the title. Also is the link you posted to your site working for you? I cannot get it to work for me so I can look at the page.

Ausgirl Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 Try this My Webpage See, new I would of missed something. Only 2 are showing up and I didnt even notice. :blush: Yes, I fill in all 3 Description Keywords Title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill110 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 You might try replacing your catelog/includes/header_tags.php to see if that helps. Dont know for sure but it could be possible the version you downloaded was missing some of the code. If nothing else works you might try downloading a different (earlier) version and see if that file is different or the code you place in the header is different. (just a shot in the dark!)

Ausgirl Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Thanks for that Bill, That did the trick. I just uploaded the file from the new/clean install. Now its just my info pages repeating. My terms/conditions ect... as well as the pages Ive added. I think maybe that might have something to do with having info pages unlimited installed, maybe? Maybe not, just guessing. Shot in the dark hit its mark :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill110 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Now its just my info pages repeating. My terms/conditions ect... as well as the pages Ive added. Since those pages do not have product or categories the code falls back to the default keywords and descriptions. It's supposed to. So it's working right.
