Is Submitting Keywords as Titles a Bad Idea?

I've been submitting my sites to directories lately and can't decide what to put as my title.

Should I put my actual website title as the title or can I use keywords for my titles? For example, for a chocolate company submission, instead of putting:
Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory

Putting:
chocolate
sweets
dark chocolate
good chocolate
tasty chocolate

Is this ok to do with most directories? Do high PR directories frown upon this?

 

Make sure you READ THE GUIDELINES for each directory.

Some directories allow it, some do not.

 

If they do, it's probably in your best interest to do so. I believe Alexa search engine allows you to see what people search for. Find that out and then target those keywords.

 

I think a couple keywords shouldn't hurt.

 

This is good advice. Some directories require the title to be the official title of the website. If so, use that.

If the guidelines do not require that you use the official title, then by all means yes, use well-chosen keywords and keyword phrases for the anchor text. By using this method in directory submission, I've been able to move about two dozen important(-to-me) keywords to Google's page one.

 

It varies, but if the directory insists on having the proper title of a site, it's almost always there in writing. Otherwise, format it as "Site Title - Keyword Keyword Keyword", rather than just a string of keywords. Think of how it will look in the directory listings, and not just about the SEO benefits you want, and you will get a better acceptance rate.

 

I accept keywords in the title as long as the web sites name is used first. It has to flow though or I edit the title down to the true name if I'm going to accept it.

 

I think only one keyword is enough in the title


E.g Freewebspace is a keyword you can make it as a title

But also you can make title as Freewebspace wiht no ads which is also a keyword

 

If your paying for a Featured Link by all means.

 

And if not?

 

There is a button in the keyboard that says [ DELETE ]

Kidding aside I'm used to editing without those keyword stuffing and my tools are DMOZ as I am an Ex-DMOZ Regional Editor. So my tools in editing are DMOZ and I manually review the sites so its guaranteed that the sites are 100% of quality. (Not Corrupt) They said I'm the most Notorious DMOZ Editor. See DMOZ thread.
