    You can rank without keywords in title in case you have them in the text of the page + strong backlinks.
    But why avoid it, it takes few minutes to create a good title, besides title tag has sufficient influence on ranking

    I agree with Kirik on this one. You can get ranked without having your keyword/keyphrase in the title, but unless you have a good reason not to include it, I would take the 60 seconds and get it in there.

    You will get ranked but don't expect much. Titles are important part of attracting viewers. So you'd better not pass on it.

    Depends on the keyword term you are targeting.

    If you target 1 or 2 word terms such as 'search marketing', then you will not rank well without the keyword in the title.

    If you are optimizing for

    'gold stamped blue t-shirts'

    then you might be able to forgo the title tag.;)

    You can still rank even your keywords is not in your title but better if you could put it on your title. As long as the keywords is inserted in your content, you build backlinks and you use your targeted keywords as anchor, text you can rank.

    title tags help, but I think on page content and links' anchor text are more important.

    Use of keywords in title tag is not difficult and also pays you rich... so why do not you try to use it? You can ofcourse rank without it also if your text contents do have good number of keywords. But this also depends on the keywords competition....
    At last if you just keep building the links without checking the quality of the links then also I think that your purpose will not be served. 50 high quality links may prove to be more useful than 500 low quality links...
