Questions To Ask For Optimizing Title Tags:
Do you have a title tag in your document?
Is your title tag under 80 characters including spaces?
Does your title tag focus on targeted keywords?
Is your title tag different for every page?
If the answer to these questions above is 'No', then you need to optimize each title tag on your website.
Is there more than one title tag in your webpage?
If so, it can be taken as search engine spam and any additional title tags should be removed. There should only be one title tag for each page of your site unless you have frames. If you have Frames, you will have a title tag for every frame as well.
Why Optimize Your Title Tags For The Search Engines?
A title tag is the most important tag in your webpage. It names, describes and sums up in few words what the webpage is about. This is why each title tag should be unique for each page. As well, focus directly on what the page is about.
How to Optimize Your Title Tag For Search Engines!
To create a great title tag, try to keep the character count down to 80 or less including spaces. The keyword you are targeting for that page, should be at the beginning of the sentence. Then try to sum up the page in as little words as possible to keep your keyword density as high as possible. Do not repeat words more than twice, for not only will it sound bad, but it may put your site at risk of being banned.
Webmasters Code To Add or Alter Title Tags:
<title>My Webpage Title</title>
You should place this code in between the opening <head> and closing </head> of your document. Replace 'My Webpage Title' with your unique title that you have chosen for that page.
Watch Out For Search Engine Spam!
This will only hurt your rankings on Google, rather than help it.
