http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...=izzy+stradlin

If you click the link above you'll see my site is No. #1 on Google for searching 'Izzy Stradlin'. I am having trouble getting rid of the description used though... It says:

"Fansite for Izzy Stradlin. ... Ex-Guns N Roses, the Rolling Stones inspired Rhythm Guitarist, Izzy Stradlin. { ENTER }. Easyspace - your perfect partner for the web. ..."

I want to lose the Easyspace bit but can't find it within the HTML. When I signed up for Easyspace they had to put a banner on my page and I dont have access to the script they use. Can anyone make suggestions on how to change the description.... ?

Thank You

that is because.. if u see the cached version..

u have small 88 31 banner in the bottom which says easy space - ur perfect partner........

since this is what google has of ur page.. this only will be displayed..

u have to wait for the next googlebot visit to ur page and wait for it to update its cache..

also you can try submitting ur site to google with a slightly modified description and hope that makes the bot to visit ur site..

hope this helps

Yes, remove the alt tag on the button and that should do the trick. You could even try replacing the alt text with something else you want to say.

As Praveen said the changes won't go into effect probably until the next FULL Google update. Usually once a month around the 25th to 30th...
