I am maintaining a blog on a website

I am maintaining a blog on a website where I have very little access to the source code. Also, there is no blog-style cms so I created my own cms externally and I insert the blog articles on a designated page using js. when the new page/url is created so I have to dynamically insert a title, but it only gets inserted into the after the has already been rendered.

The browser displays the correct title (after a second or 2) but the source code does not, so I feared that Google was not indexing the page with the correct title. To confirm this, I checked webmaster tools and sure enough, Google doesn`t seem to be associating the page with the title that is inserted (via js) after the head renders.

I have zero access to the source code prior to rendering.

What can I possibly do?? :( :( :(?

Devin Peterson: I am maintaining a blog on a website where I have very little access to the source code. Also, there is no blog-style cms so I created my own cms externally and I insert the blog articles on a designated page using js. (please see haldemansubaru. com/blog.htm) for the example.

My problem is that each article does not originally have a <title> when the new page/url is created so I have to dynamically insert a title, but it only gets inserted into the <head> after the <head> has already been rendered.

I have zero access to the <head> source code prior to rendering.

Tim Capper: Site query shows only 1 article indexed. site:www.haldemansubaru.com/blog.htm?

Hopefully someone with more developer experience has an idea for you
Suraj Gadage: +Devin Peterson ;the main problem is your blog article data (right from updated meta title to content) is getting populated dynamically and even if I visit the source code of each blog article I don't see anything. So, given that case Google will not be able to index your article at all.

+Tim Capper ;it's not an article that is indexed. It's simply a blog category page. So the solution here would be (though I'm not a developer) defining dynamic page caching on the server. When a dynamic page is created, it gets cached on the server and cached page is shown to the user and Googlebots.

Hope this helps!
