        "Fetch as GooleBot" gives you the details that Google will fetch from your source code (no ajax code will appear for instance)  along with server response code.

        If you want to see how your page will show in SERP's preview you need to use the tool "Instant Previews" under Labs section of the Google webmaster tool.

          Instant Previews are page snapshots that are displayed in search results.

          It's not displaying title or description. Only the site image is being displayed.

          The site in question is http://bit.ly/xu2mGi

            What is the exact issue you are encountering? The title description of the site you mentioned are getting displayed properly in Google Search.

            "Fetch as Googlebot" will give you the source code of the page and whatever is displayed gets crawled by Google though you need to ensure that the syntax are correct.
