Critical Google Description Problem!

    Hello everyone!
    This is my first post in this forum, i've been guided to present my problem here due to the fact that this is probably the most proffesioal google forum avilable today.

    when one of my pages appears in google, the description and sometimes the title are all messed up, for example:
    *correction: i cant seem to post links, so if you'd search Google for "halik" or "road coating" or "halik tl-2000" or any of that sort you'd get my drift.


    This problem has been going on for more than half a year and i've been told to wait and see how it can be fixed by it self but it doesnt seem to do so. It started just around the time when i began SEO the pages.

    I believe this prevents people from actually clicking the links because they believe the site being proposed to them is not proffesional or trust worthy.

    any idea what might be the problem??

    I looked at your code, seems it's not pulling that from your homepage.... Is your site in DMOZ? I bet it's pulling description from there....

    some answers:

    1. This site IS on DMOZ, but the description over there is defently not written in Gibbrish, so i dout the problem starts there. if you'd google "halik dmoz" you'd find the entry (damn this not being able to post links yet)

    2. i've added h2 tags to emphasize whats important. i've also used bold and underline, links and incomming links and whatnot.

    3. i've found that if you google the string "Halik", the first and second results are mine, but the first result which leads to the www . halik . biz is good (description wise) but the second result which leads to an inner page is all messed up, and i cant seem to understand what the differene is between them!

    thanks everyone for trying to help, it means alot.

    Yikes, look at the cached version of your pages.

    Not sure what is causing that, but if you fix it you'll fix your desc.

    PS: perhaps this info will help: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.halik.biz%2F Are you using an html editor with a rules checking option?
