| I'm using Publisher 2003. I've successfully published my site www.indoor.org
, however, when I search for it, the generic title "Welcome to my web site"
is displayed in the search results. I indicated what I would like the title
to be using, tools/web page options/page title, so I'm not sure why I'm still
getting the generic title. Any clues?

| I cannot get your link to work, so I can't check this, but if I understand
your question correctly, then the description of your site in a Google or
other search engine, will not be the title of your page...it will be the
first few lines of your first text box. If you try to add your page to
Favorites, it will reflect the title.

| My sincere apologies it was a long day yesterday, the site is www.indair.org
I inputed the title ""Indoor Air Institute" in tools>web page options>search
engine info> description, but I get the generic title, which is why I'm
confused.

| I am not sure of the answer. I checked the source code and found "<meta
name="description" content="Indoor Air Institute">" as you indicated. Did
you perhaps have the site posted for a while with the Welcome message? Maybe
it will take the search engine a while to update? What search engine are you
using, and what keywords or phrase did you use to find your site?

| The site was parked for about a month, with that welcome message. I've been
using Google, however, I tried Yahoo as well and it didn't work. Actually,
the only way I can find it in google is if I search for indair.org so perhaps
it is not recognizing my keywords as well.
How long does it usually take for a search engine to update?
Thank you for you help.

| It can take a while for the search engines to find your site and update. One
thing that would probably help, it appears to me that none of your keywords
or phrases are separated by a comma. It is my understanding that they need
to be, so you might change that and repost your site. And in case you didn't
know this, you can open your site in IE, then go to View > Source to view
the code. This is how I noticed that you didn't use commas.

| There's something really strange going on. When I entered the keywords, I
entered them with commas. When I double checked, the program removed the
commas and filled the field, to capacity, with my keywords repetitively. I
removed the extra keywords and added the commas back, closed, reopened, and
it happened again. I am stumped as to why this is happening.

| Me too. I have never heard of this before. Have you been automatically
updating Publisher, IE, etc. from MS? There was a recent patch that broke
some things from Microsoft... Have you added all the SPs?

and see if it resolves anything. I'll let you know what happens.
