    hi,

    I know google reads the page title however is this good or bad. My page title is

    free poker cash | free poker bankroll | free poker money

    Basically my three keywords. However the words "free poker" comes up three times. Is it better as it is or should it be something like

    free poker cash, bankrolls, money then perhaps followed by some more keywords?

    Hope that makes sense.

    Just choose something that makes people want to click on it.

    Simply go ahead with the ones that most describe your content. Anyway, I do not see any problem with your title :)

    not sure if you want to repeat the same 'free poker' phrase 3 times

    personally I would probably make 3 different webpages out of those.

    I could be wrong though...you can have some keyword repetition but I think 3 repetitions of 'free poker' might be overdoing it and could be penalized.

    i think the second option is better. title is important for search engines and it's also important for users. people will look your title and decide to click or not

    Yep. These descriptions are what people look at when they've plugged in a search query. Make it something that compels people to click.

    If anyone is interested I have changed from the first list to the second list and my for most of my keywords jumped up around 10 positions. :D

    So repeating words in title is bad! (well for my site at least!)
