I run the site for a large city.

We run a main portal with about a dozen sub sites all linked off the main domain, ie:

www.example.com/subportal1
www.example.com/subportal2
www.example.com/subportal3

The sub portals are all specific to agencies at my organization, such as the Mayor's web site, the Water Bureau, etc..

Now in the search results, several of the subportals are no longer showing up for direct searches, even if I use the site:www.example.com syntax. Instead other subportals are showing, but the URLs are and Titles are mixed.

Ie: if I search for "subportal1" in the search results I get:

Title of subportal2
www.example.com/subportal3

So the title and URL are actually from two different pages, and neither matches the page I am searching specifically for. The sites are each individually 100's of pages a piece and have always received good search traffic. They are not so similar to make Google think they are dups, even though navigation schemes are the same.

Any ideas? Is anyone else experiencing this problem after the last google update?
