google, most pages not showing title/summary

[rlkanter]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, and I'm not entirely sure how to explain this. If I do a search on google for:

site:domain.com

It shows something like 1700 results, but most of them only show a single line such as:

domain.com/item/display-item.php?item=5341
Similar pages

Each line has a different item number

Also if I show results in English only it only shows around 400 results.

Other search engines do seem to index them correctly, and the pages themselves display correct as far as I know. Any hints? Thanks :)

Lorel,

How do you handle cases where they host their own sites.

Regarding the tacker2 that you mentioned the host is in Bristish Columbia: Do you know which city the host is located?

I am thinking about visiting the person(s) that hijacked my sites and confront him directly.

Thanks,

1. Delete any sitewide <!--comment tags-->
2. Call all js code remotely.
3. Call all css code remotely.
4. Place any common code after unique code
5. Remove multiple domain names pointing to the same site
6. Validate html
7. Back up dynamic links with text links.

Is this getting worse, I even see more sites with URL witout description on manny sites, some site: checks I did showed maybe 10-20% indexed pages with discription and I do think this is a BIG think in how different sites are ranked these days, I think the pages without description has no Google walue yet.

How do you handle cases where they host their own sites.

They still have a hosting company for their server. Just check their domain/WhoIs info and run the IP address through a reverse address checker, such as:
[freeality.com...]
and it will give the Host's address. Then write them.

PS. the city re the host I mentioned earlier was Vancouver, BC.

One thing I've noticed with my own site that the pages where Google returns only the url for the page tends to change from month to month. I've had perfectly unique and functioning pages (that have long been in the Google index) show url only for a month, then the next month they are in the index and ranked normally - while at the same time a previously indexed page has the honor of becoming "lost" and being indexed as url only.

In some ways I wonder if Googlebot occasionally gets "lost" during its crawl - they know the page exists but during the crawl of the site it forgets about indexing the page itself. I know it sounds strange but it is the only possible reason I can see for Gbot to index a page properly one month, to list it as a url only page the following month, and then to have it properly indexed the month after that.
