Website Title on Google SERPS.

My TITLE disappeared!

[ebeneke]

Hi,

We did a site redesign in .NET (v2). Each page still has it's own Title and the META data is being pulled in to each page dynamically.
Two questions:

One:
The title of our Website as it appears in the HTML disappeared from the Google Results page. We still rank 9 out of 1,9 Mil and our site has been inthe top 10 for 4 years. What causes the title to be different? The title that's there is not the title in the HTML in the index.aspx page.

Two:
The URL of our website as displayed on the Google Results page is missing the "www" part? Why? It now lists as http://example.com

Now, the fact that we have moved down about 5 positions in the top 10 is not my main concern but rather that the Title is wrong and the the "www" has been left out.

Maybe maybe SOMEONE out there knows what causes all this and what I should do to rectify this. Thanx.

[edit reason] use example.com - it will never be owned [/edit]

Is your domain listed in DMOZ? Google will sometimes revert to that description when they do not have a recently cached page to draw from in the particular data center that is providing the results.
