    Hi

    In some cases, goole is ignoring the Title tag and instead of the title tag it is displaying some text from the page which is wrapped between either H1 or H2 tags on several pages of the website. Why does this happen and how can you prevent it?

    Regards
    Sam

    i also faced similar kind of problem, it is Google algorithm to display different title in SERP other than real title, if we do so much key word stuffing in title so google displays most appropriate title according to your site content and by considering other factors.the solution for that is try to make natural title rather than keyword stuffed title.

    Ex:

    If you are providing different type of software services then possible title of your website's home page can be:

    Bad: Software Services, Software Services India, Software Services Price
    Good: Software Services in India: Get Best Software Services at Low Price- YourSiteName.com

    also understand the concept of Keyword proximity and try to apply on title, this will help you out.

    Hi I have created a website that uses frames. When I change the content of one frame, the title bar of the window doesn't change, so the <title> tag is ignored.

    Some times google feel the Heading tag is better than title tag.

    Sometimes based on the content, Google displays Header tags as the search results or else would go for title tags.
