Odd Google Indexing Issue
-
I have encountered something odd with Google indexing. According to the Google cache my site was last updated on April 6. I had been making a series of changes on April 7th and none of them show up in the cached version of the site (naturally). Then, on the 8th, my rankings seem to have dropped about 6 places and the main SERP is showing a text that isn't even on the Web site. The cached version has the correct page title from the page that was indexed on the 6th.
How do I learn where Google is picking this up from? There is a clean page title tag on my Web site. I've checked the server, etc to see what's going on. The text isn't completely unrelated, but it definitely impacted my ranking.
Does Google ever have these hiccups when indexing?

Maybe Google crawled your site just while you were fiddling with it?
With my sites I have seen test pages get indexed & wonky pages show up for a short while until the next indexing.
