Incorrect Article Title and Preview showing up in Google

Sent in a ticket for this, but I wanted to also hit up the Community to see if anyone else has seen this:

I need help fixing a feed or article component problem. We are seeing errors when our articles show up in Google Alerts and I am wondering if it is just a scraping glitch or if we have our feeds set up improperly.

  • Weather information in place of Article Preview.
  • Photo Asset names in place of Article Titles
  • The Menu Bar text in place of Article Preview

Seem familiar to anyone?

RIght. So as the bots scrape pages, they are latching on to text divs at the tops of pages. and pulling in weather bugs and menu bars. Grr.

I noticed this too - I went into the page properties for all our main landing pages and manually set the descriptions so this behavior won't happen.
