Welcome to the Q&A Forum

thank you for the responses

very helpful!!

Hey,

I'm getting a ton ( 22k) of spammy links from another website which has the same IP address as mine. I've not received any notification from Webmasters but I think I'm getting massively penalized for the same.

1)Should I just go ahead and disavow these links?

2)Are there are other steps with regards to the technical aspects such as Hosting and Domain configurations I should look into to stop this and get ranked properly.

3)Do I need to submit a reconsideration request to Google after I've cleaned up this mess or will I need to wait till the next scrawl?

Thanks so much!

Thank you Devanur, I shall definitely look into this. I do have a question though- if Google doesn't really care about the keywords meta tag, then it shouldn't matter what I have written in it, right? So do you think I'll still be in potential danger of an over optimisation penalty, keep this in mind?

So the only way out would be to have more relevant meta descriptions, right? Any words on that?

Thank you Chris!

Thank you PremioOscar. Will keep this in mind.

Hullo all,

I run an e-commerce website and hence have a lot of product category/sub-category pages to handle. Despite giving each of these category pages meta descriptions, in the Google SERPs, a lot of these descriptions don't show up fully.

Rather, only half the text that I'd inputed as my meta desc. shows up; the other half has generic stuff from that page given.  I've attached a screen shot to give you an example of what comes up in the SERPs.

Could you please tell me what exactly is the problem? Is it a coding issue? Or has Google not crawled that page? Need help asap!

Thank you in advance!
