SEO - Page titles


Authors should use the title element to identify the contents of a document. Since users often consult documents out of context, authors should provide context rich page titles. The title element should ideally be less than 64 characters in length. While there is no limit on the length of a title, developers should be aware that the title element may be truncated if too long.

Page titles or title elements, are one of the most important factors when developing a search engine friendly web page. The <title> should contain your primary keyword phrase for that page and any secondary keyword phrases that you may be targeting.

Every page you make for your website should have both a meta-tag and a page title. The page title is just a short description for your visitors and for the search engines to identify the contents of the page.

Many search engines use the page titles to display the search results....so don't leave them out.

The title element is one of the primary tags that must appear in the <head></head> section of your web pages. We prefer and highly recommend that the page title come right after the opening <head> tag of your web pages.

The secret to using page titles right is to keep them short and sweet. Don't use filler text, and/or/how/when, etc... Keep it focused on your targeted keywords that you got from your keyword research.

Your keyword research should be a factor in your meta-tag writing and your page titles both.

Planning before starting to make your website can really help you identify an internal linking structure and linking method for your site that shouldn't be overlooked.
