Why is GOOGLE Butchering SERP Titles and Descriptions? - That was the...
(Page 2 of 3 )
That was the name of my company 5 or 6 years ago, I don’t want that listing in the GOOGLE Index or Directory! Surely they aren’t trying to reinforce the importance of DMOZ without first making it easier to make changes or get new Sites listed.
I am seeing more and more pages and Sites take own these new “butchered” SERP listings in the last few days.
Have they lost it completely?
Do they want to encourage image "alt" text spamming now?
Alt text is now equal to or more important than Titles and metatag descriptions?
Everything is listed in linear order, as parsed in order down the page?
What is relevant about several year old DMOZ Titles?
Are they trying to “beef up” their Image Search prominence?
The adaptation of the DMOZ anchor text title is bad enough, but the alt tag heavy description is much worse. If the trend continues, any page with header graphics and alt tags will have a description "leveling" across an entire Site. This will be a problem for many W3C validated Sites that have header graphics.
