    Description: "Regularly publishing chemistry tutorials and problem sets for high school chemistry, general chemistry and organic chemistry. Discussion forums."

    Under 150 characters and describes your site relatively well.

    Title: Chemistry Help | Chemistry Forum

    Titles have never been my strong point, but at least it's an idea. Also, your site does not display well if Firefox, and you spelled "organic" wrong ^_^

    That's good, but I think that "Chemistry Help at My Chemistry Tutor - Get Chemistry Help From Experts and Read Tutorials" has more impact. I've never seen it talked about, but having your keyword at the beginning of the title seems to work better (in my experience).

    Also, you can be descriptive and still include some extra keyword "juice" in the title. Just don't stuff it with keywords that don't make sense to the casual user!

    pick 5 main keywords that best describes / can be seen in your site... then compose a phrase containing that 5 main keywords.. it depends on you how to jumble all that keywords in a phrase...

    No need to use words like "at" or "from" or "my". If you need/want to use "and" use the & symbol. Ideally, you should do a little keyword research and see what are people searching, since the Title does hold a lot of weight.

    Title: Chemistry Homework Help | Online Tutor, Forum & Tutorials
    Description: Need chemistry help? Struggling with your chemistry homework? Get help through our forums, online tutors and tutorials at My Chemistry Tutor.

    In the Title, you'll notice I used as many sub-keywords as possible. No need to put Chemistry Help, Chemistry Tutor, Chemistry Tutorial, etc... as it is already at the front of the Title and the search engines will consider grouping the sub-keywords with Chemistry anyway.

    In the Description, I tried at put "Chemistry" in front of those keywords, as well as put the plural forms of the sub-keywords too. The goal in utilizing the Title and Description is to use as many charactors as possible, while using as many keywords as possible, without making it sound keyword stuffed or un-readable.

    Use a keyword selection software like wordtracker to find the most relevant and popular keywords for site. also check the competition. dont use "and" and other stop words.
