Suddenly the search reslt is showing only first 3 words of my title. till last month it was showing the whole thing. the diff. is huge as i had something "extra" in the second part of the title.
All others in my space have their full title displayed.
the visits have dropped like stone as suddenly i am one among the others. Any idea/suggestions?

Just a guess -- is the truncated title the same as the title in DMOZ directory? If so, you can use the special "No ODP" meta tag, and Google will oblige within a short time by using the tite on your site, instead of the ODP title.

<meta name="robots" content="noodp">

Yes it is my Dmoz Title. I will use the meta tag you suggested. Thanks a lot.
