TITLE TAG

Topics: One of the most important onpage variables in Google ranking . What to do, and what NOT to do in Title tag.

TITLE TAG: You must put your keywords into this tag and not waste space with extra words. Do not use it to display your company name or to say "Welcome to... " COnsider it more as a "Tag" and create it wisely.

<title>KEYWORDS HERE</title>

One of the main parts in Google ranking is played by <TITLE> tag. When searching in its database, Google matches the title tag first.
Google will try to match keywords in the title tag with links and text in the web page, so you better put all the keywords you need. Google will do the rest . Start by the most important keyword.
Google's matching action is an aspect that you should take in great consideration, the keyword relevancy starts from here, if you're willing to appear with a certain keyword, this MUST be in the title first.

: According to our experience, Google will try to match the first 14 (fourteen) words included in the title tag, so dont worry about the carachtere lenght (many say not to put more than 50-60 car.s), just don't put more than 14 words.
White Fly says...

After Florida update (and OOP) many reported that a char limitation does exist, and is set to 60 chars (the less is better). Moreover, a major relevance is assigned to keywords close to the beginning of tag. First keyword in title tag will receive the greatest relevance and so on (same for Url and domain name)


: PAY ATTENTION to the order you put your most important keyword
I.e. "Google ranking" and "ranking google" (our internal experiment) queries will give different response pages!


: Google ignores stop words like "the", "that",
and so on, so you don't have to put sentences

: Google researches are NOT case sensitive,
so you can either capitalize all (ALL GOOD STUFF) or just the first letter ( All good stuff), you can either be understated (all goog stuff) or be weird (AlL gOoD sTuFf) J that's the same.
