Weird SERP Results

Hi,

This is very weird. When I Google for a keyword I want to rank for, I get the correct search engine description but the title of the SERP result is for a totally different article.

Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong here?

I have written a lot of articles and had a lot of sites but never had this issue before.

    I have the same thing with my Homepage.

    The Google Cached version of the website has the full title as does the actual webpage, but my website on the SERP shows up with a different Title. It has been like this for about 7 months now.

      Copy the text from the SERP/title then go to the Google Cache (text version) & do a page search in your browser to see what's triggering the SERP/title.

    No idea why, but make a few changes to the page, then use the "crawl as google bot " tool in Google webmaster tools, and click submit to index. It might refresh things...you also might want to do that for the page it is currently ranking for to try and update that page as well.
