Google has registered my site but no description is listed

google no description

[rakkyd]

I have a new web site and have both a .com and .co.uk pointing at the site. Something strange has happened with google. It has registered the url even thou I did not submit it and I can't think of any sites that would link to me yet. Even stranger is that there is no title listed under my site when listed in the search results.

I had submitted the main first page of my site, two days before the .com got listed on google(coincidence?).

I do not want the root listed as this is a flash page and will not rank highly on the pages.

The questions I have are, how could this happen and how do I rectify the problem ie remove the root .com submission and change it to the .co.uk/public/index.asp

Many thanks
Rakky

If this is a flash page, Google doesn't read it, so it is normal that there is no description. Do you have a description meta tag?

Also, try inserting a noembed tag.

You are correct I it is a flash entry page and yes I have meta description. I have changed the page and now put a H1 and H2 title about the flash intro in the hope Google will see this but its strange that it picked up the page without the meta description.

What is even stranger is that my url co.uk and .com point to the same site and I have never registered the .com but that is the one google has found. I did register the .co.uk 5 days ago but as yet no listing. There are no external links to the .com so how did it register the site.

First, you should remove the URL, as it is not allowed here (see Terms of service [webmasterworld.com]).

Then, look at the cached version of the page. There are no meta tags in that version. Is it possible that you had a former version without tags?

The only thing I can think of is if you have surfed to that site with the Google toolbar on your browser. There have been reports that some sites have been indexed based on that, though AFAIK it is not confirmed.
