    Default Why did Yahoo index my page incorrectly?

    This is how yahoo shows my page when searched "lake tahoe home sales"


    Lake Tahoe Home Sales and Rentals - Randy Malm
    Randy Malm Lake Tahoe Home Sales and Rentals - Serving all of your North and West Lake Tahoe Real Estate Needs.
    me@randymalm.com - 2k - Cached - More from this site

    The red is the link to my page, it is an email address... How do I get this changed to my real web page address: www.randymalm.com? Pretty weird

    When I click on the SERP I get an authentication message in FF asking if i want to enter the site as "me".

    Off the top my head it looks like Y indexed an authenticated session. No idea how and this is just a guess. I have never seen this before and I am not sure how to go about fixing it.

    Yeah, that is what I get. me@randymalm.com is an email address that I have assigned, but even weirder it is no where on my webpage. I use a different address... I don't even know how they found out about that email address.... it should be just www.randymalm.com.

    I've tried checking a few of your page sources for the address.. and I can't find it anywhere.

    That is a really.. um.. 'unique' error.
    If you're not remembered, you never existed.

    It will get users hitting the back button pretty quick. They don't like those pesky pop ups that make them choose something.

    Did you submit your site to the Yahoo business directory?

    i am thinking if they screwed up on the fields this may create something funky

    No, I did not add myself to the business directory. I will try now... In FF it asks you if you want to go to www.randymalm.com instead of me@randymalm.com, but IE just says 404 not found.....

    They have a free and a paid version but I don't think that will solve the issue.

    Clutching at straws i thought there might have been a wire crossed if they were pulling your site description from the business listings.

    Weird.... me@randymalm.com is nowhere on my site, and never has.... I have no idea how they found it.

    Perhaps ask Webmaster & SEO Nick.
