 * Hello, hope someone can help. I have the latest version of Yoast’s SEO Plugin
   for wordpress which is excellent.
 * I have completed the SEO on each of the posts, the posts are discounts and vouchers
   for brands online, I went to google and did a search for Panda Security Discount
   Code.
 * It finds me at Number 1 which is fantastic but the title and the description 
   is about voucherCornwall and then it mentions Panda Security as below.
 * Welcome to voucherCornwall bringing you the latest Discount …
    vouchercornwall.
   com/ Discover the latest Discount Codes, Vouchers and Promotional Codes throughout…
   Visitors from voucherCornwall who buy a Panda Security solution wi. You’ve visited
   this page many times. Last visit: 13/07/12
 * Why is this showing up when in the post the title and meta description are different
   to this? Seems like something is overriding what is in the Yoast plugin, any 
   ideas please?
 * Paul

 * To make a long story short, Google does not always show the exact meta description,
   but will try to show the portion of the page that has the search term in it.

 * Hi
 * We’re having a similar issue. We’ve assigned individual metadescriptions to each
   post but Google is only pulling out the generic metadescription assigned to the
   blog in the SERPs, ie. the same metadescription for every page.
 * Our site is [http://www.bubble-jobs.co.uk](http://www.bubble-jobs.co.uk)
 * Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I’ve looked around and
   can’t seem to find an answer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks 🙂
