SEO And Title Tags

Author: Scott Lindsay
While most search engines do not use Meta Tags as a means of
determining placement in their overall rankings of similar
websites the proper use of Title Tags should take some careful
thought. For those interested in your product or service the
title tag is often the first impression a consumer has about
your website.
A title tag is generally only 80 characters or less in length.
Usually the title tag is approached by website owners as an
after thought. By optimizing your title tag you have the
opportunity to appeal directly to the consumer. Consider your
title tag a mini advertisement directed to millions of web
users.
In the html language of each web page is a section that reads
Title Tag information here
You will find this html section within the tags that read and
Html language may be foreign to you, but you can use the
services of a good webmaster and insist they work with you to
optimize the pages on your site to assist you in rankings,
consistency and for maximum customer and ranking impact.
What should Title Tags include?
Title tags should always include at least two keywords or
phrases, but don't go overboard. If your title is stuffed with
keywords it can actually have a negative impact on your ranking
due to the fact that many sites may consider this a spamming
technique.
It is possible to make your title tag longer than 80
characters, however if you do make sure the most important
information comes first. Search engines will place a limit on
how much title information they display with their search
results so it is possible some of your title information could
be omitted.
It may seem a daunting task, but by placing a title tag on
every page in your website you have a very simple, but often
overlooked way of impacting the very people you want to visit
your website - consumers.
Interestingly it is the title tag that many search engines look
to first when considering site rankings and it often the most
overlooked part of many SEO online marketing strategies.
By overlooking title tags in SEO you are essentially doing the
same things as businesses who have a phone number in the phone
book and believe that's enough to draw customers. Title tags
provide a means of free advertising in search engines. When you
couple that with the importance search engines places on title
tags it just makes sense to optimize your title tags.
