Aha! A touch of Google enlightenment!
I figured it out!
Remember when I added the "googlebait" content in the upper left corner, because Google was doing a very poor job of summarizing my site? And then it automagically fixed itself, to my utter bewilderment?
It turns out that my obsessing about this annoyance coincided exactly with my admittance to the dmoz directory, which is also the Google directory.
So if you, like me, have problems with Google's inability to properly describe your site, I highly recommend that you submit your site to dmoz with a quality description.
It will do wonders for the quality of your site summary, at least when people are searching for it by name.
Other searches will still show snippets that demonstrate the occurrence of whatever keywords they are seeking, which is all well and good.
I think I'll leave the googlebait there anyway, though. I'm kind of getting to like it.
