Google result messed up?


Well i edited my main page for my website (which isn't my forum) so that the result on google looks better. Added a description and everything and looked today to see if google had updated it and it had. The new description and title have been updated BUT the description is messed up. It says: JibbaJabbas.com is a BRAND NEW OFF TOPIC/GENERAL forum where you are able.

It stops at able and puts a full stop, the actual description is: JibbaJabbas.com is a BRAND NEW OFF TOPIC/GENERAL forum where you are able to chat with all members about anything and everything from Music to Politics, Sports to Food & Drink, plus MANY, MANY MORE!
We offer you many differnet catagories so you will never be bored!
So come join our fantastic, friendly community today and join in on the action.
And remember, Carry On Yo' Jibba Jabba's!


I know this is too long but usually google cuts it off after 2 lines then adds .... on the end. Not in this case, one line then a fullstop.

Is this a google error which will be updated in some time or have i done something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Heres a link to the search if anybody wants it: jibba jabbas forum - Google Search

Re: Google result messed up?


So it's coming up with the full description? Mines coming up with "JibbaJabbas.com is a BRAND NEW OFF TOPIC/GENERAL forum where you are able." which is only part of what i put. How it is atm it doesn't make sense.

Re: Google result messed up?


I guess I don't see what the problem is. Google is showing the text you have in your descriptions meta tag that I posted about Google result messed up?

Re: Google result messed up?


Could you show me a printscreen or something please, no worries if you busy or anything but me and a few others have been on the link and it's not showing the full description, it stops randomly for no reason after the first line.

All it shows is: "JibbaJabbas.com is a BRAND NEW OFF TOPIC/GENERAL forum where you are able." and thats it, it can hold more but doesn't, it just stops there.

Re: Google result messed up?


dono, but what I would do is rewrite the description with more keywords in the beginning
and not so much BOLD, maybe this is why google cut your short
