Anybody know why it is showing up, but on if you do the above?
Like a fool, looking at that horse's mouth again.
Question:
Where do they get the description, cause what I have in my meta tag description is not what is on the search results.
It will take a snippet from the text on your page, according to where it finds the search terms you have used. (ie, different snippet for different searches)
You can find many past threads by searching for "snippets" or "randsom note"
[google.com...]
I wish I had an answer for you. My guess is that our sites are in the Google database but are hidden from view. We continue to be spidered because our sites are available to the spider, through the database, and that our pop up in the SERPs is either a fluke, a mistake, or bodes very well for the next index.
Yes, it is exactly what I am seeing. You can't imagine how it felt after a long, long month when I see it back. The phones are already ring, off the hook.
Hope it sticks
all of a sudden came back up
Did it come back up when you typed a search term or when you typed www.yoursite.com? Maybe came up with an interior page?
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I would not
Hope it sticks
That message is for sites not in the database.

The net effect is a new page/site will tend to start with a high page rank which falls rapidly then returns (but not to what it was originally), then a smaller drop, then a smaller return and eventually it balances. Of course it rarely ever truly balances as the number and direction of links will tend to change over a 6 month period. I have noticed that new sites seem to appear high on their first month then nearly (or completly) disappear on the next month only to return on the third month.
You can see a lot of this for yourself by pokeing some figures in one of the page rank calculators linked to in other posts (sorry couldn't be bothered to find a link).
I have something similar happening to me.
One of my sites is new (gray bar). I have some good inbound links.
If I search www.mydomain.com, I am told the URL doesnīt exist.
However, my logs show that the site is being returned to several searches :).
To me, itīs clear that the site will get into the DB this coming update; I hope yours get too.
As for an explanation, it looks like GG keeps a different DB (or different tables) for the "fresher" pages (those which appear in SERPs with a date tag), and this DB is not queried when you search www.mydomain.com. This "fresh pages DB" would be updated much more often than the "stable pages DB", and so would demand different database configurations; having them separated would make the lives of GG's DBAs easier.
I also noticed that often times the first time a page appears it has a higher than expected (by me) PR.
However, I always thought that the reason for that happening is that, when my sites get listed by others, they usually get into at least two pages: New sites (usually higher PR) and the Category sites. If googlebot happens to crawl my partnerīs sites in a day when my site is in News (this is not uncommon, because the New listings are spread across several sites, over several days), I will get an extra PR which will vanish with time.
Canīt this be the explanation for your observations as well?
