Google listings oddity
It has been two weeks since I updated the site structure and the results are now starting to pay off.
The google bot has made over 65,000 page crawls and over 400 pages are now indexed (and growing daily). Bearning in mind there are nearly 3 million potential pages in the site this is still incredibly small, but is a promising start and already I am getting hits on some truely obscure search terms - the long tail in action!
What does confuse me is the way Google shows the search terms in its results. For example, a search for Galleries in Baskingstoke shows up as the first result and Google highlights all of 'Galleries', 'in' and 'Basingstoke' on the page title but fails to highlight either 'Galleries' or 'Basingstoke' in the URL line. Looking at results further down both of these terms appear in bold for other sites.
Can anyone shed any light on why Google fails to think these terms are not important in my URL? I'm stumped!
