I’m checking the search engine listings for a new client and I see the Google SERPS for some pages show the following for a description
. ...
The pages that have this problem have the following header tags. I think it’s the xml encoding tag at the top that is causing the problem as there are other pages that don’t include this statement and they have ok descriptions
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
Is the problem being caused by these statements?
Should we just remove the xml encoding tag?
