When I search for the keyword of my website over google, it displays "Bad Request" with the link to my website. Why is it displaying bad request? Have I done something wrong in the SEO? Please help me out! I'd really appreciate it!

    I think this is caused by redirect script or JavaScript that manipulates URL.

    Google is showing "bad request" because it sees the URL differently than it actually is.

    Yes, you'd better check for any script that could lead to such a warning... Personally, I didn't have such a problem and never saw this, but this is strange. In most cases, it would be JavaScript, but also could be a problem in the hosting (especially if you are using a free one...)... Sometimes free hostings place their banners, javascript codes, etc.

      It's not a javascript error. It's a crawling error. Somehow
      a 400 error was returned, somewhere, somehow, last
      time google crawled it, and it got entangled. Having a
      site like that makes it more prone. Shopping cart sites,
      that is, not that pharmacy sites like that are just junk
      to begin with.

      Maybe I can actually come to some conclusion that the
      way most of those pharmacy sites are set up, they
      do indeed have many crawl errors, probably intended.

      Circumventing certain "filters" is a pharmacy site's
      ongoing battle, and those things lead to various ways
      of hosting the site. Hence, the crawling errors. It's like
      a person looking for A, getting B but seeing A, seeing A
      but really getting C that is covering B, and so on.

    Some of your site listing in google also have "World News" appended to them, but when you visit the page, it's not there.
    Did you ever use something that modified the page title?

      Read my post. At first I thought it was shopping cart glitch, that
      does that. But it's probably a little of both. Shopping cart and
      hiding/jumping around.

      Hiding and jumping around is really the way the lot of these
      "pharmacy" sites stay in google serps. Google not the internet
      police, but they do crack down on those sites.

      Thing is, the only people foolish enough to buy that crap
      online, are Americans. But they can't really market to them
      in the true sense of the word, so they try and get in through
      the back door, side door, roof,...
