Since Looksmart have been making noises about making Wisenut a mainstream search engine I have paid a bit of attention to my listings there and find that:

My third level domain has all 38 of its pages listed (though they are quite old) but the SERPs use:

a truncated (last 26 characters)version of my 80 character page title as the SERP title
and
apparently an excerpt from my base domain as the description.

Is wisenut TLD challnenged?

To make this a bit clearer;

my page at [subdomain.maindomain.com...]

uses the page title from [subdomain.maindomain.com...] as the SERP title and an excerpt from [subdomain.maindomain.com...] as th Serp description on all pages.

This results in all 38 pages having the same description, and thus is not producing very relevant results IMO

Anyone know whats going on here?

Not sure what's going on, but it sounds like a problem with their spidering of certain hosting configurations.

Honestly, I would try contacting them...see what they have to say. As I recally, some engines are thankful when users report problems that they can fix (because it makes their product better).

Has anyone else encountered this one?

hmmm ... just checked my SERPs at wisenut and also found scary things ...

My main URL www.example.com is listed ... but none of my three 3rd level domains for this domain is listed allthough they are properly linked from the www-site and well listed on google.

No spam, no dodgy things.

But i see many well known spammers coming on top of the SERPs for very competitive keywords.

I never gave attention to wisenut ... i just submitted one of our 3rd-level domains right now and wait what happens.

BTW: i don't see any 3rd level domain within the results for some quick checked keywords...
