no desc/ title listed - just URL

[stickyboy]

My site has been ranking pretty well in google for well over a year but around the middle of november seemed to dissappear. On looking found that most pages were listed as URL only, since then I now have about 50 pages listed with cached and the other 700 or so are stil URL only. What can cause this? My homepage stayed at PR6 on the Jan 1st update so presume its not a manual ban (the homepage is one of the pages listed with URL only and only when done without the WWW)

Any help would be appreicated

It's probably Google's increasingly brutal duplicate filter kicking in. You'll have to either get more links pointing in to your site, or vary the page content or both.

not totally convinced about the duplicate content filter even though I have considered it, the reason is some of my pages which are listed have some duplicate content using the copyscape page to check but other pages are totally unique and are not picked up at all.

On the other hand my site has some pages listed without the www and others with it so could it be a duplicate content filter with my own site as presume google counts them as 2 sites?

[ShameJobBlog]

yes, g counts them as two sites.

I would drop the dupe content or get higher pr than what you duplicate to be the copy that counts

i only actually have one site but had a few links to my site where they missed the www hence google having some pages with the www and others without. Not sure about the best way to correct it. I have asked the sites to correct their links to me which they now have all done but google doesnt seem to take any note, so how do i get rid of the non www pages? my domainname with the www is a pr6 my domainname without is a pr2

Are your internal links to: http: //www.stuff.com/page.html or page.html

[stickyboy]

generally to page.html apart from the link back to home which is set as the full URL
