Google analytics update? and disallow command

[Gemini23]

Hi, I have had numerous duplicate title and description content issues showing in Google Analytics (over 100). I have resolved these problems about a week or two ago and although the Analytics has updated again every day and again showing today's date the duplicate issues are still showing. Any ideas how long it takes Google to see that the pages are updated and changed? Also, is the Disallow command in the robots.txt file the best way to stop Google from looking at files or folders that I don't want it to?

Thanks :)

i think your first question is really about the content analysis tool in google webmaster tools rather than google analytics.

the minimal robots.txt file for excluding google search from indexing a directory named "go-away" would be:

User-agent: googlebot
Disallow: /go-away/

you can also use robots meta tags such as noindex and nofollow to control googlebot behavior on a per-page basis.

you can get more information in the robots.txt forum [webmasterworld.com].
check out the Charter link at the top of the forum list for references.

I had a few duplicate description issues myself. After I fixed them it took over two weeks for most of them to stop showing. I had a couple more that took a month or longer to stop showing. As long as you know you have them fixed, you can quit worrying about them. Google will eventually catch up.

It can take even more than a month for Google Webmaster to update things.
I had faced a similar issue with one of my sites and even after making the necessary changes on the site, the G tool continue to show those as errors for around 1.5 months.
