After the latest Google shuffle on August 17th, I've noticed - aside from an enormeous drop in visitors - that the ONLY google results I get, are strings of text from various specific/comparatively irrelevant parts of example-page. When site:searching on the title-tag and the headings on example-page, nothing comes up. However, when searching for some random bit of text in the middle of the page, Google does what it was designed to do faultlessly - it finds text in a document - however irrelevant it may be, compared to a header and/or title-tag. I would prefer the title-tag to have priority over some relatively irrelevant bit of text, compared to the title-tag, in the middle of the page. Anyone else been noticing this?

I've checked this for a number of domains and pages -- I always get the results I would expect. But these are not domains that saw a drop in traffic. Very odd. Are your titles unique and specific to each page?
