I have a strange problem. I have read about this problem in other questions but mine is different in a strange way. After a back up at my web hosting company, Google indexes my website with tags such as "CCNA EXAM, Prepare for the exam, CCNET".

My website has ABSOLUTELY NO AFFILIATION TO ANY COURSES AT ALL.

It an NGO dedicated to helping poor children. I am desperate and I do not know how to force google to index my title properly.

My website is cys.ro, the title is "homepage - Asociatia Create Yourself"

If you search on google the title is completey different although with other web sniffing tools the HTTP HEADERS are correct.

What can I do?

I already submitted re-indexing to google four times.

EDIT: The while site viewed by google is different. All other crawlers, browsers and proxies view the correct site, but google views a different site which actually contains our name in it in a phrase "thousands of professionals study with cys.ro". It is an automated generated site with our name in it and it actually tricks google into reading the fake site.

This is the text in the description "of interested professionals can touch the destination of success in exams". There are other websites that have this problem from what i see. Is it possible to be a hacker?

Tell the programmers of those web sniffing tools that they need to reprogram those tools because I looked at the HTML source code of your page and things need changing.


What can I do?


Stop confusing the robots.

I look at your code and you have TWO title tags as follows separated by other HTML code:

<title>Asociatia Create Yourself</title>

<title>homepage - Asociatia Create Yourself</title>


No one is 100% sure what title you really want to display, and luckily my browser did not crash over it. Google probably made a guess of what title to display based on content it found in your code.

What you need to do is eliminate one of the title tags.

As a side note, you should try to consolidate your external resources. This means try to put them together if you can and load fewer resources to display the page. The page will run faster if that happens since less requests per user are made to the server. This can be observed when running the page in webpagetest.org.

If your site shows Google what is basically advertising content that is unrelated to the actual site, you've been hacked. If you have enough knowledge of WordPress and also server security to detect and clean the hack, go for it. If you are at all uncertain about how to do this, hire a professional security service to do it for you such as Sucuri or WordFence. Both of the those services will clean a hacked site, harden it, and provide a plugin for WordPress that will help keep you safe going forward.

However, if you are hosting on a less-than-optimal shared hosting ISP and other security holes are affecting you, move to new hosting ASAP. There's lots of affordable hosting out there that has decent to excellent security, including some specialized hosting for WordPress.

I suggest you add meta title and meta description for every page. It will give you more control over what is displayed in SERP.

Sometimes Google will alter your titles and descriptions but having those meta tags should help.
