If you do a search on google for site:alpha-american.net you will get two pages of garbage. some of the pages where put in the robots.txt file and requested for removal from googles page. The only thing that really bugs me is I have been waiting 2 1/2 weeks to see some change on this site and now all the pages have the same title as you can see... obviously in the code that is not the case and its not a duplicate because it shows the right descriptions for the most part. anyone have any idea's before I rip my hair out?

any idea on what exactly?

are these pages you want to be indexed with the current title?
are these pages to be removed totally (in which case delete them)

do you want to know why they show old titles etc in the SERPs

or something else?

Have you tried the Google URL removal tool yet?

Go to Google Webmaster Tools, sign up if you haven't already, verify alpha-american.net if you haven't already, and request a removal of the offending URLs.

Also, on your /tmp/ folder, put an index file with nothing in it other than basic HTML for a blank page and the following meta tag.

Code:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

Might take another week or two, but you should be fine after that.

its starting to get the right page titles up now but its almost like it ignored my title / description tags all together after further review I guess they like to do that sometimes.... seems odd... hopefully it will clear itself up

The description snippet shown in the SERPs is search phrase specific, so what you see for a site: search is different to what user may see for a proper search.

If you want to see what snippet may appear for any given phrase search, use;

site:sitename keyphrase/word

eg:
site:www.alpha-american.net trademark
