    This is not in vb or vbseo. must be coming from another plugin/addon.

    Google updated and now showing January 23rd in the beginning of my meta description tags, can someone take a look at it and see maybe where it could be pulling this date information from?

    oh, that is not in your meta tag. that's just google showing the last time it visited the site and that's the 'snap shot' of text it has from X date.

    how come it is only doing that on my site from what I see on that search term? Do you think it is hurting my SEO from them doing that?

    it's actually a good thing. it means your content is freshly indexed by google.

    ok great, was thinking that it would hurt my seo by shortening the length of the meta description

    its NOT *IN* your meta description. Google adds it on the fly when it displays your results.
