Is it possible to have two titles for the same homepage?

    I am not sure if this is the right section.

    I was examining our rivals homepage, and checking out how it did as far as SERP was concerned for different keywords when I noticed something odd.

    The page in question is -www.ole.edu.mx-.

    When I do a google search for "Spanish School Queretaro" they are position 1 with the title "OLÉ Spanish Language School".

    When I do a google search for "Spanish School Mexico" they are position 11 with the title "Spanish Language Schools in Mexico study learn Spanish abroad..."

    How is that possible?!?! Are they using some kind of blackhat SEO, or is there a way to create multiple titles for the same page that I don't know.

    Thanks ahead of time for your help.

    hi arcel, Thanks for the quick response. Hmm, I checked again and still got the same results as my original post. Maybe I worded it a wrong, by "title", I meant the title for the search result that appears on the google page, not the title that appears once you open the page itself.

    I just tried again, and got the same results as my original post.

    I see what you mean...

    The second result matches the title tag on the site...could be a couple of possibilities:

    Did they ever have a different url that could have been 301?

    Or they may have simply had one title tag at one point in time, and somewhere in the vast google databases it got indexed twice, once with the old title tag and again with the new. I know there are many, many databases that get accessed at different times and for different reasons (don't ask anything more specific, I don't know) and I know I have seen multiple listings for the same page in the past, even though it may be something completely different know.

    we are using a strategy that robots treats it as two different keyword phrases in one title page one you get rank on the first keyword phrase you also get rank on the second keyword phrase, we are just putting a special character in the middle of two keyword phrases and make it sure that your title will not exceed to 60 characters including the spaces.

    Thanks for the feedback, I don't think they are using using any special character to split there title since if you go to there page, only the second title appears at the top of the browser (explorer and mozilla).

    Is it possible they have a landing page? If so, how do you detect that?

    Thanks again for all your help.

    You both are wrong. This case does not have any relation with number of characters and number of words. Almost every sites has more than 60 characters and more than 12 words and they are not facing such kind of problem. I am sure it is just the part of Google indexing. Means Title Tag of this site has changed in last two or three weeks. That's why it showing two different results.

    But it is not the matter of concern. It happens normally and wud remove after sometime. It happened with me earlier .........................
