    Hello,

    Just a few weeks ago, I noticed that google is not display the full title of my site in search results.

    Can someone please tell me why this is?

    The full page title is:
    Rack0 - Business Class Web Hosting | Cheapest Reseller Hosting | Affordable Alpha & Master Reseller Hosting

    But if you look at the screen shot below, you can see it does not show the full title.


    Best Regards,

    Google will only show your first 67 characters.

    The title limit of Google is 67 characters. The more than 67 characters is not showing.

    Aside from having too many characters for Google to display in the SERPs, this looks like an inefficient use of the title for SEO purposes. Given how crucial the title is regarding on-page SEO, you really should consider shortening it and using other pages to target additional keywords.

    Try adding <meta name="robots" content="index,follow,noodp,noydir" />
    But if your title is too long it won't help, but it can't hurt

    You might Use site-level descriptions on the main home page or other aggregation pages, with a relevant information that might not be displayed in the snippet otherwise. But high-quality descriptions can be displayed in Google's search results...


    Thanks and mybe it can help

    Yes, in theory, folks are not searching for you, they are searching for what you offer or provide service wise. Your domain name never really needs to be in the title attribute. This sort of gets into a branding issue. If your title attribute is something short like hdmi cables for instance then hdmi cables | company name is not that big of a deal but will dilute the phrase you are trying to rank for a bit.

    This starts to get picky and also depends on what sort of other SEO you are doing as well.

    hope that helps. I agree with TonyRocks basically.

    keep the title short and put 1 or 2 keywords in it, and the best way to keep everything in 65 characters.

    Thanks Nigel Lew! I always run into issues with Brand when dealing with companies who want to be listed for their company name. The only people searching for your company name (unless your brand is well known) is you! hehe. Here is an example:

    Joe Webhostsearcher is looking for web hosting. He does not go to Google type "RACK0...." unless he knows of your company.
