I'm encountering a strange behaviour of Google.

Pages in my site has the form :

..
<title>Title of Article - mysite</title>
</head>
<body>
<img alt='mysite logo'>
..


So I expect this page to show as "Title of Article - mysite" in the clickable link of google SERP.

However, it is displayed as "Title of Article - mysite - mysite logo".

Why the heck is it fetching part of body as the title?

How can I prevent this from happening ?

Thanks !

Google may or may not use your actual "title" element's text. There are a number of reasons for this but mostly its because "google" decided your page title is : too long, malformed, not descriptive of the content on the page, etc.. the contextual list goes on

Protip: Shorten your page title, focus it, hone it = google wont replace it
