5 Tips for Creating an Effective Title

Everyone knows that Title is one of the most important tags of them all and probably the most effective also. After link popularity Title is the most important factor that can affect your rankings in search engines. A well written and optimized Title is the key to success.

But if you are new to search engine optimization then it would be very hard for you to write a well optimized Title tag. Here are 5 tips that will help you to write an optimized Title -

[1] Try to use your 2-3 most important keywords in the Title Tag, but make sure that it still remains enticing to your users, if it is not enticing then no one will click through.

[2] Use your most important keywords first in the Title tag and use less important ones after that. As an example suppose my primary keywords are: Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Optimization Services, SEO India, in which Search Engine Optimization is the most important of them all then I will use something like:

<TITLE>Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Optimization Services, SEO India</TITLE>

[3] Make a Title tag that talks to your targeted traffic rather than filling it with keywords, use this tag efficiently such that it appeals to your visitors but still presents your important keywords. As an example:

<TITLE>Search Engine Optimization Services in India</TITLE>

In the above tag I used my primary keywords - search engine optimization, search engine optimization services and search engine optimization India, but still it looks enticing and says to the visitors that we offer seo services in India.

[4] Always try to use a Title tag within 60 characters including spaces, you can also exceed this amount sometimes because search engines count each and every keyword in this tag. So I would recommend that you use a Title between 60-80 characters.

[5] Avoid using the same Title Tag throughout your site. Try using a unique Title Tag for each web page and use keyword phrases that holds theme relevance to that page.

 

Why you repeat words in Title tag?

"Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Optimization Service"

 

Good advice, repped.

 

Ya thats not necessary.

Thanks for the tips. However for some very competitive keywords such as SEO, you can repeat "Search Engine Optimization", SEO throughout your title, description and body of your website, but to actually get a good placement in search result will be very difficult.
SEO alone can not guarantee you good results. It helps of course but it is not the only answer to driving traffic to your site.

 

Great hints.. thanks for it

 

Ya because Title is not the only thing that will give you rankings there are lot of other things too. Dont forget the most effective one "Link Popularity"

Thanks for the tips.

 

keyword prominency in keyword title and description is the main thing even in content too.

 

This is not correct - DO NOT repeat keywords on the title - It gives ur site a "Spammy" look. It wudnt interest the visiotrs. Rather u can put it like -

<TITLE> Search Engine Optimisation | Hosting Services </TITLE>

 

Ya thats true suppose you are targetting seo, seo services and seo india then dont make a title like:

<Title>SEO, SEO Services and SEO India</Title>

Rather than using the above title you can use the following:

<Title>SEO Services India</Title>
