Many of the results being returned by Google for my site have screwed up titles. For example, Google is returning the title Top Ten List - Favorite Simpsons Characters Username: Password ... for a page where the actual meta title is Top Ten List - Favorite Simpsons Characters. I do have a form on the page that prompts for a username and password but it really shouldn't be showing up in the title. This is happening on quite a few pages as can be seen by doing a Google search for site:the-top-tens.com simpsons characters. Any ideas as to what is causing it and how I can clean up my results?
This is another Google problem. Google is combining title text with on-page text for the clickable link. Nothing you can to except wait for them to get it right. Dave
