Please Help ! Strange description
-
The site http://goo.gl/bQkCF is displaying a strange description for keyword "taxi software" in google.com (second position ). Instead of description, text "logo" is being displayed. I understand that there is no description on the site, but still why this text. I would appreciate if you would let me know if anything is wrong with the site.

Yes both js and css, i would also try to get a bit nore content in their also
-
Should i suggest the client to create an external .js file. It will reduce the code by quite a bit.. There are too many lines of javascript code.

Thanks Mark.

Many Thanks Stephen .

Thanks a lot Alan for your time in taking close look at the site and for useful links.

The first text element in the site is the alt tag of an image of "logo".
This explains where it is coming from, as to why slightly stranger.
Look through your source I see no real paragraphed block of text. All of the text seems to be quite short, fragmented sentences.
When google has to create a description by itself it normally tries to find a suitable paragraph containing the keyword. Since I can't even see your keyword within the page, this may explain why google fails on making a relevant description and simply uses the first sentence (single word) it finds.
Solution 1) Add some well written text containing your keyword.
Solution 2) Add a description meta tag.

Hi,
I could not detect a meta description in your code. Maybe try adding this to the page head section:
name="description" content="YOUR DESCRIPTION TEXT" />

If you look at your souce code, it is a long way done the page before you get to any content, the first content found is the alt tag text "logo", this is almost 400 lines of code down the page.
after then there is only short menu text for many more lines, there is not real text content to about 800 lines.
if i take a line of text "Free taxi private hire software" of your page and do a exact macth search your home page is not found in google index. it is found on deeperpages but not on your home page
this is your problem

Blank Title and Description Tags
Hi guys. Some times web platforms that I do work on have pages that I normally do not optimize. They more often than not have blank meta titles and meta descriptions. If I put titles and descriptions on these pages, no matter how minor, would it help the site as a whole to rank better? Thanks!

This is caused primarily due to our header navigation, which is not intended to be keyword stuffing, but to provide all avenues for our breadth of content. site: crazymikesapps.com. Most answers seem to advise if there is no keyword stuffing at hand don't worry about it. Any help appreciated. thank you Mike

Broken Links/Images Non Optimized Content Help
Hello, After 4 years of incorrect blog creation and 4000 blog posts I have seen the light. I have implemented a new theme, SEO friendly, based on a yoast website report and have been creating timeless blogs with correct structure. However, I have 5400 broken links and images based on the Broken Link Checker. Additionally, of our 2500 blog posts which are on app reviews, only 500 are optimized so I have been painstakingly been going through each to optimize, while balancing new content output. The trouble is Google is seeing massive changes and we are tumbling in search. Any suggestions on how to approach this as it is my understanding that the broken links/images are doing considerable damage to our website overall. the website is crazymikesapps.com thank you Mike

Meta Descriptions - Duplicate Content?
I have created a Meta Description for a page that is optimized for SERPS. If I also put this exact content on my page for my readers, would this be considered duplicate content? The meta description and content will be listed on the same page with the same URL. Thanks for your help.

How unique do product descriptions need to be?
I'm rewriting approximately 10,000 product descriptions, but for feasability it's useful to sometimes reuse some of the phrases that are there (and on other websites as they come straight from the manufacturer -eg. key features), how unique does the content have to be - are we talking 100%, 75%, 50% for it to be effective in google? Same question goes for the product title! Many thanks.
