I'm a bit green...
I'm working for a company that had a robots.txt blocking the search engines from spidering any page, and didn't know it (it was done by someone unknowingly). But there are listings from before this .txt was installed. The problem is, when the site shows in the SERP (which is rarely), it is just the URL. No description, no company name, nothing! No keywords. It only survived because it was the only representation of the site. It looks really odd with the other results. Really stripped down.
So now I have optimized the homepage and done everything right, and MSN was the first to grab it. Now they show results in the old way (no descrip, no title) and the new way (great descrip, great title). What's the deal here? Is the old way going to drop off soon? What's keeping that from being written over in the search engine's index?
Thanks!

Time.
Give it 4 - 6 weeks and you should start to see it being indexed correctly, assuming you have some links pointing to it from other sites.
