Can anyone help me understand why my <title> isn't showing up on Google Search Results for this site - www.pro-tect.com Many thanks! ps - sorry if this should be posted elsewhere..i figured it was a programming issue
What search are you doing where it isn't? I ran a couple test searches and it seems to use your TITLE -- or at least what of your excessively uselessly long and pointless title fits on the screen... You have: <title>Carpet, Floor, and Surface Protection, Plastic Film, & RRP Construction Products | Pro-tect</title> and google is showing: Carpet, Floor, and Surface Protection, Plastic Film, &... Which is as it should be. Though with the content redundancies I'm a bit surprised it's not slapped down for abuse -- as it is the pointlessly stuffed keywords meta, pointlessly stuffed title, and irrelevant to the BODY content terms in each are... problematic. Of course the same could be said for the use of px metric fonts, fixed width layout, "but I can do it in photoshop" nonsense, endless pointless javascript for christmas only knows what, endash doing OPTGROUP's job, lack of sensible heading orders, endless pointless div, paragraphs around non-paragraph elements and no paragraphs around obvious paragraphs, static style inlined in the markup... Not exactly a shocker we're talking 34k of markup to deliver 1.3k of plaintext, a dozen OPTIONS and 4 content images -- basically four times as much HTML as should be used on such a simple page... much less the painful 3/4ths of a megabyte total page size in 87 separate files, resulting in a 40 second page load time here. (30 seconds of that being handshaking for all those files!)
