Default Re: Link/title tag question in Yahoo SERPs

Hi jtracking,

Thanks for the response.

In Yahoo!, when I search for my client - Wickman Group - the first result says:
  1. wickman coventry limited
    www.wickman-group.com - 53k
The link is the problem as it's not the title tag on the home page. According to Dave, that is being pulled from the redirect on Redirecting..., put in place by the UK hosting company when all the information on Redirecting... (UK hosting) was transferred to Screw Machines | Multi Spindle Machines | Automatic Lathes (US hosting) as a business decision.

However, you will note that the 2nd result IS pulling the correct title tag:
  1. Wickman Group Free Newsletter
    Wickman Group's free newsletter keeps you up-to-date with Wickman news, ... Skip Navigation. Member of the Wickman Group. Supplier of. multispindle machines ...
    www.wickman-group.com/newsletter.shtml - 7k - Cached
So I have 2 questions:

1. How can I change the copy in the link? Should I contact the UK hosting company?
2. Why does a wickman.couk NOT redirect whereas Redirecting... does?

Thanks all!
