I am planning to make a free online game website. What do you think about using the word "@" in the title. For example, the title will be: Play Bubble Trouble 2 @ Free Games Website I think people seeing "@" in search engines have a higher chance of clicking the link... but is it bad for SEO?
Had a client that used the "@" only because that's what the users expected, and it's what they entered into the search boxes. From an seo perspective, the engines have no trouble recognizing those signs.
Bubble trouble 2 is out??? Where's the link to your site mate. I don't think an "@" sign would attract me when browsing SERPs. I personally would just use "Play bubble trouble 2 on free games website".
platefish, Bubble Trouble 2: http://www.addictive-games-online.com/game/209/Bubble-Trouble-2.html I am using the same logic as many have suggested with Google Adwords, using symbols and numbers to get more clicks. http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=bubble+trouble+2&btnG=Google+Search I think that if my site was there with the @ symbol, it will be more attractive.
I personally do not see a reason why "@" in title would be bad for seo. So my recommendation is - why not, go for it
I don't see any issues of using @ in your title. Also, i am not so sure how using the symbols will attract the users. Personally i haven't used them in my sites.
http://www.google.com/search?q="ult...en&suggon=0&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS258&start=10&sa=N IMO YoGames stands out.
If would probably help your site stand out on the serps and thus get you a higher CTR. Just don't go crazy and make sure it's readable.
Okay cool So I'm Going To Go With: GAME TITLE @ Free Online Games Finder OR Play GAME TITLE @ Free Online Games Finder (still have to research this now) Thanks everyone.
