      Hi there,

      I have a strange problem concerning how the search results for my site appears in Google. The site is Texaspoker.dk and for some strange reason that name is appended at the end of the page title when I search for it in Google. The site name is not added to the page titles on the site.

      If I search in Google.dk (the relevant search engine for the country I am targeting) for "Unibet Fast Poker" I get the following page title displayed in the search results: Unibet Fast Poker starter i dag - få €10 og prøv ... - Texaspoker.dk

      If you visit the actual page you can see that there is no site name added to the page title: http://www.texaspoker.dk/unibet-fast-poker

      It looks like it is only being appended to the pages that contains rich snippets markup and not he forum threads where the rich snippets for some reason doesn't work.

      If I do a search for "Afstemning: Foretrukne TOPS Events" the title appears as it should without the site name being added: Afstemning: Foretrukne TOPS Events

      Anybody have any experience regarding this or an idea to why this is happening?

      Maybe the rich snippets are automatically pulling the publisher name from my Google+ account...

      It doesn't seem to have anything to do with rich snippets, if I search for "Billeder og stuff v.2" the site name is also appended and if I search for "bedste poker bonus" the site name is not.

        Ok, for some search terms the site name is appearing in the title tag and for some keywords it’s not… I would suggest you to check if you have recently changed the title tags of your website… if yes then this might be the crawling issues that some pages are crawled in Google and others are not. So the pages which are not crawled and updated are showing the site name while others don’t…

        One more thing, sometimes when Google think that the current title tag is not relevant to the query it changes it to brand name (at least in Google US) Although there are rare chances of this but I would also suggestion make some solid and relevant title tags against a query.

        If you see the pages are not crawled, I would recommend you to upgrade the .xml sitemap and submitted it again t to Google Webmaster Tool.

        • What does it exactly means when Google brings the "brand name" to the beggining of the page title in search results when it was actually given at the end?
