When I search and find my site using keywords in Google it displays the DOCTYPE as the page title? And the 'cached' as a plain text file showing all the tags and there attributes along with the content.Click http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=UKAS+NEBB&meta= To see what I mean. I am ranked No.1 but to the untrained eye a load of gobbledygook is displayed,Can someone please adviseCheersJamesWebmasterVEGA Environmental Consultants Ltd.Because your doc type tag is messed up.<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">Why link to w3?Here's the doc tag from the 2nd site:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">BompaWell because that's what W3 tell you to do!I'll try modifying it anyway and see what happens.CheersMaybe just put what you had on just one line.BompaYes bompa is right, use that and wait for the next indexing.see how your spider view page http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:spak ... NEBB&hl=enHmmm, after reading this i checked mine:Code: [ Select ]Right, think I may have gotten to the bottom of this along with the help of Bompa, Nicky and some deeper digging on my part. Cheers Lads.I have translated the site into Several languages but to do this I had to change the encoding of the pages so that the Kanji characters displayed correctly. What I must have done was to change the encoding of the english pages from the default into Unicode I have now rectified this so that they are encoded in 8 bit with a charset = UTF-8 META parameter. Hopefully next time I am indexed the problem should be resolved.
