Google sometimes relies on open directory to show your website title or description in their search result.  The reasons for that can many. One of them is that when Google first visited your website, perhaps you didn’t have anything in your title tag and the crawler somehow didn’t find any relevant content to your website.

To solve this issue, first make sure you you have a title tag and a description meta tag and and your website contents are fully relevant to your website and there are no HTML no errors.  Then add the following code to your meta tags which tells robot not to use the open directory content for your website. This way the robot will only crawl your website’s contents and will eventually modify your websites search result display based on your website’s contents.

<meta name=”robots” content=”noodp”>

It may take a few weeks for this to take affect to be patient with this process.
