Use Keywords In Page Titles

Armaan143 · # 1 (**permalink**)

It is recommended to use keywords in page titles itself.

This title tag is different from a Meta tag, but it's worth considering it in relation to them. Whatever text one places in the title tag (between the <title> and </title> portions) will appear in the title bar of browsers when they view the web page. Some browsers also append whatever you put in the title tag by adding their own name, as for example Microsoft's Internet Explorer or OPERA.

The actual text you use in the title tag is one of the most important factors in how a search engine may decide to rank your web page.
In addition, all major web crawlers will use the text of your title tag as the text they use for the title of your page in your listings.

If you have designed your website as a series of websites or linked pages and not just a single Home Page, you must bear in mind that each page of your website must be search engine optimized. The title of each page i.e. the keywords you use on that page and the phrases you use in the content will draw traffic to your site.

The unique combination of these words and phrases and content will draw customers using different search engine terms and techniques,
so be sure you capture all the keywords and phrases you need for each product, service or information page.

The most common mistake made by small business owners when they first design their website is to place their business name or firm name in every title of every page. Actually most of your prospective customers do not bother to know the name of your firm until after they have looked at your site and decided it is worth book marking.

So, while you want your business name in the title of the home page, it is probably a waste of valuable keywords and space to put it in the title line of every page on your site. Why not consider putting keywords in the title so that your page will display closer to the top of the search engine listing.

Dedicating first three positions for keywords in title avoiding the stop words like ‘and’, ‘at’ and the like is crucial in search engine optimization.

True. But vBulletin Forums automatically put forum name at the end of each page,
like :

Code:

<title>{Category Name} - Geek Point Webmaster Forum</title>

or

<title>{Thread Title} - Geek Point Webmaster Forum</title>

So I had to manually edit the templates to optimise it.
Now it looks like :

Code:

<title>{Category Name} Forum</title>

Sample url : http://geekpoint.net/php/
And

Code:

<title>{Thread Title}</title>

Sample : see the title of this page itself.

What do you think of it ?

Indeed and that was a brilliant work

Actually, Title tag is very important thing when you do SEO for a webpage. It tells the SES what the page is all about!

Having quality keywords in title tag as well as at meta tags "description" and "keywords" is essential, sure.

But it should be also mentioned that they have to be targeted to the site's contents as well. I just can state my own experiences while surfing the Web, but when taking a closer look, there are so many websites with "free" and "sex" in their meta tags - but they have nothing to offer free of charge.

Also take care about legal limitations in your country - using your competitor's company name or trademarks in your meta tag is just a good idea at first glance ;-)

The title is also of primary importance to get the attention of the web seeker, not just for SE positioning , therefore it is very important to carefully consider both these factors in choosing titles. Fortunately with forums ( for instance ) each thread and even each post can have a title , if your users co-operate with this function

Totally agree with you mate.
People will not open if title is not good.

Its same for blogs too.
