    Google only indexes what it finds. Have you changed any of the content?

    Occasionally, Google search engines change the title and description of sites in order to make the keyword query. For example, if you have ten keywords in your keyword tags, it is impossible to add all the keywords from the tags in the title. You only get to pick the vital once, Google then occasionally pick any of the keywords in the keyword tag and use it on your title. I still don't know how they change the description but i have seen it happened to my site and it never affected my rankings.

    I think there should be another problem in your own case.

    Hi Kanonig,

    Thanks to share your experience. I don't know why Google is doing like this its true that not effecting ranking but its effecting traffic because the impression of Google is not on Title of website.

    You mean to say that instead of displaying the title from your page google is displaying something else in the search results?

    If that is the case then it is a bit weird and it is not supposed to happen.

    That's another weird action probably by Google bots, it may index data for another page. Just like what happened to two sites sharing one hosting resources, they have separate database but Google showed a data & url that belongs to other site, causing effects on both sites.
