    Hi Webmasters,

    Today morning I was checking for the updates of my website's raking on the Google where I found pretty interesting though depressing result because the Google bot showing the absolutely different title in Title bar instead of original title which I was never expecting. Very often I used different Anchor Text for promoting my site but have never changed or replaced the original title from the Meta Tags.

    Is it possible that Google bot is fetching random data and showing the title amongst the content from my website which is merely one of the keyword in my Meta Tags. This result made me anxious and worried for my website rankings and the efforts I have made for promoting my site. What I suspect is, my url is one of the keyword of my Meta Tags, does this make any differnce as it is shown as title now in result.

    I request you all the webmasters to let me out of this dilemma and explain a little about why and what next of my problem.

    Thanking you.

    The short answer to your question is YES, Google is replacing the title tag and trying to show a most relevant (as per Google) title for the end user that has performed a search. What this means is that, being creative with titles to attract attention nowadays is almost a waste of time, since not always your desired title will appear. It is not a very "new" thing that Google has done here is Matt Cutts on youtube for that matter: http://youtu.be/NlJiLDn9-38 hope it helps.

    Cheers

    Is it me or does Google keep getting worse and worse from a Webmaster's point a view?

    Best of luck,
    Justin

    Justin you're spot on. Big G blows these days. Panda made it tons worse. Scrapers everywhere. Bing gives me better results.

    Did you search Google for the exact domain name? The different title are shown by Google to establish relevancy between the search query and the search results. To achieve this sometimes Google does change the page titles sometimes.

    There are really very unusual crawling behavior of Google bots, worse is fetching the wrong data from the database of their site being shared on the same server, resulting wrong URL and duplicates.
