How do you solve this issue? Pages coming up as [No Title] in Open Site Explorer

[JasonBilog]

I see this when researching top pages.   I know for a fact that the pages have title tags that appear to be fine on google and our site, so I'm not sure what the [No Titlle] means or why it's appearing in Open Site Explorer.  Thanks!

There are a few reasons I can think of why this would occur:

1. If you recently added titles to your pages, OSE might have an older version of the page while Google has the newer version.

2. A site I was working on had duplicated meta descriptions--OSE used one and Google used the other. If you have an empty title tag in the code, OSE might be getting confused and using the wrong one.

3. (Speculative) Perhaps OSE is aware of your pages but hasn't indexed the content of the page yet--it's just a URL in the system without title, metas, body, etc.?

Thanks for the quick reply, Mike.  I did very recently change the title tags for many of the pages that are coming up as [No Title], so I was wondering that -- maybe OSE just needs time to catch up.   I guess as long as the tags are coming up ok in Google, everything's cool - you think?   Appreciate your help--

If things look good in Google, OSE will catch up and everything should be fine. And you're welcome.
