Wackiest Google Site Command Bug I’ve Ever Seen
Google’s site: command’s been acting up lately, and Googlers are working feverishly day and night I assume trying to fix the damn thing on various Datacenters, but check this out. While running a site: command tonight, I came across this bizarre SERP:
Googe site search returns ginormous serp snippets
Here’s the search url I used (broken in two parts, so it doesn’t break this blog’s template):
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a
&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=site%3Agembaby.com&btnG=Search
(EDIT: The search result is back to normal now — Too bad.)
Huge description snippets, right? Where is it coming from?
META description, repeated 12 times.
So, um..Google, what’s up with that?
UPDATE: I removed snippets I previously quoted off the meta description and the SERP, since I didn’t want to accidentally create a duplicate content type scenario.
Yeah. I’ve seen this on a one of the sites I work for as well. Strange though as I get the description tag repeated 8 times, and it’s always on the same url when it happens.
I spoke to Vanessa Fox about this at PubCon and she told me they are looking into it…
