    For title you should use 65 characters max. For description you can use characters up to 180 or 220 max. Words can't define proper length that is why I used characters. Thanks

    Google :

    Title : shows 69 Characters (Including Spaces) for Page.
    Description: shows 156 Characters (Including Spaces) for Meta Description

    Yahoo:

    Title : shows up to 72 Characters (Including Spaces) for a Page Title. (PDF’s up to 75 characters)
    Description: shows up to 161 Characters (Including Spaces) for Meta Description.

    Bing:

    Title : shows 65 Characters (Including Spaces) for a Page Title Tag.
    Description: shows up to 150 Characters (Including Spaces) for Meta Description Tag.


    On the basis of three search engine you can make your title and meta description.

    To make sure you get most out of the major 3 SEs, aim for teh most restrictive limits:

    Title: max 70 characters inlcuding blank spaces
    Description: 150 characters including blank spaces.

    You may step ahead with 66 character for Title and 165 chracter for description. Space between two words are also count with this space. I am using this criteria for my sites and I must say I am getting traffic and ranking for my targeted keywords.

    I have seen different variations in the last week that somewhere in some websites Google is showing 63 but the most i have observed that was the figure of 58 nowadays probably.
