Title: Any way to force Google to see something useful?
Post by: khigh on August 20, 2015, 12:27:57 AM: This may be a much more complex SEO type question, but for some reason, Google always shows kind of useless results for my site - it alternates between showing the contents of one of two blocks - top left and top Center. top left is a calendar, so one time I googled my site, it had the name of the site, and the description/text was something like "August 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12..."

Is there a way from within Simple Portal to standardize how Google shows us?

I'm using Standalone mode if that helps.

Hoping someone familiar with SimplePortal can help out.

I fail to understand, because those two sentences are conflicting with each other.

I should be, since I have helped out numerous members so far. I even have some ideas on what you could add to your robots.txt but since:
1) I have no examples of those searches.
2) I have no idea where your site is.
3) You think I'm not familiar with SimplePortal.
I am afraid I cannot help you as of now.

I may have to find a different portal then if I can't fix it all by myself. It's killin me.
