    Hi Aaron,

    It is not bad. Try to avoid using symbols like "&" in your post title. The healthy length for a blog post is around 3-5 words. So, Oahu Home – Hawaii Handyman & Hawaii Home Improvements is not so bad at all. Try to avoid writing long post title. You are right on using powerful keyword on title but don't stuff all of them on title. Maybe, this post can give you a clearer picture of healthy blog post title length.

    looks fine, just keep the targeted keywords in the title,
    also add them in blog footer text, u can use a "," inplace of &

    JMO but the phrase "Oahu Home" is way to general and not relavent. And "Hawaii Handyman" and "Hawaii Home Improvements" are targeting different islands. Maybe something like "Home Improvement Oahu | Home Improvement Handyman" if that's the keywords you're targeting (or Improvments).

    Normally the more important keywords are used earlier in the title, and I just thought "Oahu" probably wasn't main keyword that "Home Improvement" might be better. I don't know, but from experience "(keyword) Oahu" is searched more than "Oahu (keyword), at least in my niche. And it just seems it would be harder to target 2 keyword phrases (Oahu and Hawaii), plus it's on different islands, unless it's what you intended. JMO :)

    I have to say I agree w/ bob25. If your customer base that you are targetting is on Oahu and your site is about home improvement and handyman work then your <title> for the home page should likely be more focused on those topics.

    If your site is focused primarily on "home improvement" in Oahu then I would go with something like:

    This will give you a higher keyword density within the <title> for "Home Improvement" and "Oahu". And you have your most important keywords "Home Improvement Oahu" 1st in the <title>.

    If your site is focused primariliy on "handyman" in Oahu then I would go with something more like:

    Again, this will give you a higher keyword density within the <title> for "Handyman" and "Oahu". And you have your most important keywords "Handyman Oahu" 1st in the <title>.

    green lights go on ........ thats highly targeted from seo expert and welll appreciated too............ ive seen many use other phrases in the blog...... I also want my blog to come up for ""Hawaii Home Repair Improvements"" it is highly sought after with 4 million searches... I will consider targeting Oahu of course .... but honestly Canonical ____ I did a search for Handyman Services .... thats in the 2 thousand range on the word tracker keyword tool ... so I came out with this Title here .... ((Hawaii Home Repair Improvements, Oahu, Construction, Handyman Services))


    from you expert advice Isee your recommendation to target Handyman Oahu or Home Improvement Oahu )) this is true ........ but remember I need the attention from Hawaii and other commenter and USA hanymans looking to join in on post commenting akso I have askemit set up.... so yes im looking for the gain of respect in the Handyman Construction Arena ... not just Oahu.... my website will target Oahu but blog will target it to ....plus all the major searches for Handyman Services, Oahu, Construction.....

    so now if you can see the value here would you say my title is good for what I just explained???? using this Title here >>> Hawaii Home Repair Improvements, Oahu, Construction, Handyman Services<<< or how about <>>> Home Improvement Oahu - Hawaii Home Repair - Construction Handyman Services<>>>> ????? please your recommendation is honored here........ what would tittle after what ive explained above...... I need mass attention from all the Handyman construction services arena and contractors fron all walks of faith ... im building a portal of post targeting world wide construction.... for contractors ... to add their general contractor experience .....


    most recent updates here new Title as of 8-15-09 300pm Hawaii time <<Home Improvement Handyman Oahu – Home Construction Hawaii>> for Oahu-Handyman.com/blog

    I think it would better to have unique and as well as a short title for your blog.
    And please insert a meta dat that with include the separate title for each post to your blog.

    Title selected by you looks good, just make sure that you write some keywords in Description tag as well. That is also very important and true for each and every posts of the blog as well.
