    Guys, I need some help. I have a clients site that only recently is not showing the Title Tags or Description on any search engine. Any ideas why this would be? I've checked the code and nothing has changed.

    Website is bluebanana.eu

    Any help or pointers is appreciated.

    Kind regards,

    Matt.

    You have more keywords on meta tags. i request you to follow guidelines:

    Meta Title Length = 10 - 60 characters
    Meta Keyword tag = 256 characters (0r) 10 Words
    Meta Description tag = Less Than 200 characters

    this would be the reason for your problem. please follow guidelined and let me know shorly about your problem

    After you follow these guidelines, gives the search engines a day or two to crawl the site and update their SERPs.

    Yeah, title tag looks very spammy. It's too long and overal repeating word "dresses". Make it shorter without so much repeating.

    Also, I see XHTML is used but without propper header info at start. Instead of

    <html>

    it shall have

    or something like that. You can check w3c for xhtml, too, if this example I gave you don't work fine.

    hello...........
    Dups in titles and description tags should be a concern. I have seen great pages suffer on ecommerce and larger websites because of it. Google uses the title attribute and description tag as a duplication identifier.

    I have analyzed your site and finds that there is no meta description & keyword tags are defined. Crete both meta and then your title will be surely visible. Currently all meta is taking by search engine randomly from your site.

    After first look into code:
    at first: You haven't document type declare.
    at second: title toooooo long mike (max 70chars title, description max 170)
    you can remove "keywords" tag. Now no one major search engine use it, just exactly know what you want to promote but in reality this tag not help in seo.
    all javascript code which not must be into page code will move to seperate file ( code:content - better )
