Titles and ranking

I create pages for small businesses on my website and I optimize the pages for their local markets. I had an Indian restaurant that had great ranking on yahoo and msn for Indian food in its city. Suddenly, it's dropped off the face of the earth. Today, when I tried to pull it up, I realized that title line and description lines are showing weird text (that has probably destroyed my rankings) but I don't know where it came from or how to get rid of it.

On Yahoo, where the title should be it says "website" and the description says "your browser does not support frames. We recommend..."

On google, the title says "Your browser does not support frames, we recommonend..."

What the BLEEP happened? There are no frames on this page (although I suspect that is irrelevant...). WHERE IS THIS TEXT COMING FROM AND HOW DO I GET RID OF IT?? Ugh!

Please post or PM a link to the page in question.

Hmmm... Do you have a URL that we can see? Is the site a dynamically driven?

Here is the Google page:

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...andoorsarasota

It is the first entry. I now believe it is related to the domain forwarding that uses "frames" when redirecting in order to "mask" the real page path and, instead, show the domain name. I have many pages forwarded this way. To my knowledge, this is the only one it happened to.

You should be forwardig your domains with a 301 server level redirect. Not a simple mask from your hosting company, this uses dynamic code and is the worst way to redirect when it comes to SEO friendliness. A 301 redirect will tell spiders that this a permanent web address and will begin to reindex your pages.
