I have a page indexed in google with 2 different listings, one with a description and one without a description. Any thoughts to this?

That sounds strange. Is it a dynamic page?

Is one www.domain.com and the another domain.com?

I have the same page indexed several times like this:

domainname.com
www.domainname.com
www.domainname.com/?source=LookSmart
www.domainname.com/?source=Businessdotcom
www.domainname.com/index.html

I am wondering if the fact that I update this main page frequently with new information is confusing google. Maybe when it spiders and finds PPC results on other websites or search engines it thinks it's a different page becasue the content is slightly different. Seems strange that google would have such a problem determining that these pages are all the same, the pages have been there for 3 or 4 years and google never had such a problem with them until this year.

Right now it has dropped the title and description for the real page and has the LS tracking url fully indexed but at one point a few of them had titles and description, all slightly different since the content changes regularly. I looked at the cache while it was there and they are all from slightly different times.

Why is google spidering and indexing PPC results from other search engines? Maybe google is having a problem with the fact that I update the content on my website and everytime it finds the page through a different tracking url it thinks it's a new page.
