Hi there. I have designed a puzzle web site some years ago. The web site has only new and valuable content (my family inventions and more) for its users and was written initialy in English language to be worldwide accesible. Then shortly after, all the content was translated in my native language (Romanian) in a completely separate site as a folder (/ro/).
From the begining under 20-25% of the visitors come from Romania; now the situation is the same. The description meta of the web site (main page, of course) was and is in English and the Romanian section's description metatag is in Romanian language as it should.
My problem is that the initial ODP description was correct, in English language, but for some reason this was changed this year in Romanian language, which is wrong ... and my website is listed under regional "World: Română: Jocuri: Jocuri video" stating that the website is offering "sections for downloading GSM stuff - translated from Romanian". This is wrong!
I have a very good page rank in Google (many sites point to my site) but the traffic is decreasing. This is normal ... people avoid entering my site because they simply do not understand the description, even search engines show many of my pages on their first page.
I have tried to change that (when ODP was up and running) but seems nobody takes care. I think it will be better if not listed anymore because looks to me that Google imports description from ODP rather than from metatags when a site get listed WRONG in ODP.
I do appreciate any suggestions to correct the issue. Thanks.
