The page title commonly known as title tag of the website is given more weightage by the search engines comparing to any other text on the page. So the tip for the day is to make your title tag lead with your primary or target keyphrase. In the previous post I have discussed with you on choosing the right keyword. Let the targeted keyword be shown at the beginning of the title tag. This will tell the search engines that your web page is more relevant to the keyword in the search result. After doing lot of test on the search engine results, we recommend you to focus on three keywords on a web page. And never use it repeated on any other page as it will create a competition within the website pages. Make sure that you have enough keyword rich content on the web page. Add at least 200-250 words on each page, so that the search engines will have enough food. Add relevant keywords most importantly near the top of the HTML where search engines give more weightage. Always be careful not to go overboard, to the point that your copy doesn’t read well. I use the given format for title tag and it works fine for me.
<title> keyword one, keyword 2, keyword 3:domain/business name </title
Does your page title lead with your targeted Keywords?
