Recently I found a problem in my website, when I search a movie name in my site I found two link with the same title.
Second search result has following problems:
The link refers to "shahrzad" movie
You find "mad max" movie name in the url
You find "abad o yek rooz" movie name in the title
These data are about three different pages. I got confused what's going on here.
Recently I found some other link like this in google search
Wrong URL that google show
Correct URL that google show
Check head of your html page, maybe you use canonical tag in a wrong way, for example if you set another url to href attribute, you will have some serious SEO problem:
<link rel="canonical" href="<some_url>" />

I am trying to share a post from my website(blog) onto Google plus but it isn't showing the featured image of the article, instead it is just showing the title and link of the article. I have microdata and also "og" tags for my page. When tested using Google Structured data testing tool, it is showing all good. I expect to get some help here. If I am trying to share the home page, it is showing an image, however if I am trying to share any post from the website, it is not showing any image. Please help, let me know if you need any more info, would be happy to provide.
One of post's from website
The og:image meta tag is being used by google plus rather than the image property within your http://schema.org/BlogPosting -as #abraham pointed out this is a broken link, it should go to http://top10grocerysecrets.com/Top-10-foods-for-releiving-inflammation.jpg - currently it includes /wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2015/07/ which isn't part of the image's path.
In the structured data it is valid, but not correct: BlogPosting has an image set but without a full path which may be why it gets ignored: the source should begin http:// etc. This is also needed if you want the image to appear in the google search results preview.
The WebPage element does not have an image set: only the BlogPosting does. Consider setting the same image property using a meta tag inside the WebPage element if fixing the BlogPosting image's path does not resolve the structured data issue, e.g.
<meta itemprop="image" content="http://top10grocerysecrets.com/Top-10-foods-for-releiving-inflammation.jpg" nt-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Print" />
In the structured data there are two unrelated mistake
the BlogPosting has author set to a link with fixed IP address http://162.244.66.231/top10grocerysecrets/author/cyoung this will reduce the chance of it connecting the blog with C Young's profile on the website.
the file name http://top10grocerysecrets.com/Top-10-foods-for-releiving-inflammation.jpg has 'releiving' in it, which is not the spelling used in the text on the image itself. This doesn't matter a great deal.
Question is the following, we have site with video. Where address is video title, which can changing all the time. For example user upload video and name it "nice video" then he rename it to "nice video in London". So in this case URL also changed from "http://example.com/video123/nice-video" to http://example.com/video123/nice-video-in-london.
From my research I found that dailymotion using canonical pointing to the page without any keywords in the URL (example.com/video123). So question which URL will be in SERP?
Question, how should we care of this? Thank you so much in advance for any suggestions on it.

Constantine
Answer: You will put in the canonical link the link of the page that you intent to give the credit to. The page that is gonna show on SERP is the one its' link is INSIDE the canonical link tag and not the one that HAS the tag.
Why:
Page0 = http://example.com/video123/nice-video-in-london
Page1= http://example.com/video123/nice-video
The canonical link is used so u can make clear to the crawl bots the page is a "dublicated content" and the original is the "canonical link". So in your example the search engine is looking at the page 0 which is "http://example.com/video123/nice-video-in-london" and find a canonical tag. The search engine understands that this is a dublicated content and looks at the link in the canonical tag (canonical=---->original page1"http://example.com/video123/nice-video"<----) and realises that every traffic u are getting from page 1 should be added to the traffic of page 0. And for that reason the page 1 --->video123/nice-video-in-london.<--- is getting zero traffic while the page 0 --->video123/nice-video<--- is getting traffic accounted for both pages AND this page will show on SERP for obvious i think reasons.
Let me know if u have more questions on that or if you need some more details on how or why it works that way.
I have a site that look like this:
Main page (index.php)
where a user can research a business.
To display result at page (search/index.php), the page url will look something like this:
/search/index.php?what=plumber&where=montreal&page=1
The page will generate dynamic link to access the business profile found. When you click on one of those links, you get here:
/entreprises/index.php?companyName=Something
How can I get the previous link to be indexed on Google?
This appears to be a good situation for the canonical URL tag. You'll want to specify a single URL for the page in question, and then other variations of that url getting to the same page (i.e. searches, tags, etc.) will refer to the stated canonical url as the actual url for SEO purposes.
Google has a detailed description of the tag here:
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139394?hl=en
Is There any way so that i change the snippet created by google indexing,so that it Drives more Traffic,Making it more Relavent which i can show to the users
Google will choose your search results snippets from the following places (not necessarily in this order):
The page's Meta Description tag
The page's Open Directory Project (ODP) Listing
Page content relevant to the search query
If you do not want Google to use the ODP listing's description then you can tell them not to do so with the following Meta tag:
<meta name="robots" content="NOODP">
If you want to encourage Google to use your Meta Description tag then make sure it is unique to each page. Also make sure it contains an accurate description of the page's content.
In thew absence of an ODP description and Meta Description tag, Google will use a portion of the page's text as the description. This text will contain the closest matches to the search query. I have not seen any official limit to how long this can be but a couple of sentences seems about right.
On a related note, if you don't want a snippet to be shown with a particular page you can use the following Meta tag to prevent one from being shown:
<meta name="robots" content="nosnippet">
See this blog post for Google's tips on using the meta description tag.
According to this site, "The meta description should typically be at most 145 to 150 characters in length as these are the maximum number of characters typically displayed at Yahoo! and Google, respectively."
I just found out that Google recently decided to start using their own "title" when they display their search results. Also, after checking Yahoo and Bing I saw that the way they are displaying their results are the same but in completely different way than Google.
I guess my question would be, if there is an actual "correct" way of adding titles to my pages in order for Google to display what I want them to and this way get the same results with Yahoo/Bing that are currently using the page's title as a search result (sometimes they pick up the first tag and use it as title).
Any recommendations or links to follow for more studying would be appreciated.
There's nothing you can really do about it. Google will choose what title to display based on criteria they have not made public. This usually is the page's title as found in the <title> tag but if Google feels a different title better summarizes the page's content they may choose to display something else.
You can try to change your page titles to better reflect the page's content and see if that helps.
