    The title is used as a tag for search engines to know what it is about. The description is good for people searching to know what it is about.

    You must be referring to Meta description and Title. Meta description is used by search engines to list websites. Title is used to determine keywords. Title is more important for SEO these days.

    Both are important, but title is also used in keyword for search engines.

    The title is way more important, and it`s actually part of the google algorithm.
    The description won`t help you at all in rising in google

    Ttile is determining factor in ranking, Description is only a descriptive one. However, duplicate or short descriptions can negatively influence you trust, and possible rankings (check G.W.T.)

    Just make them both keyword rich but not saturated with keywords and you should be good. Shouldn't really matter wihich one is more important if you treat both as important as each other.

    Yes in Meta tags Title is Search keyword and phrase, and description is summary of site services. Both are important for google but Title is more important then description.

    Actually it can and title is much more important. Meta descriptions can be of some help, but Google doesn't even use them all the time as often they will use a phrase on the page that they see as the most relevant for the query. I like to use meta descriptions in case Google does decide to use it and if they do to help entice searchers to click through to my site by providing a little more info about what that page offers.

    First title, 2nd meta description - along with these 2 factors content place a key role in seo, after these all factors we should have to go with off page factors.

    title is of key importance hence; we should use h1 tag for it to give it more priority.

    Both are equally important. If the keywords are in your domain name and your title you should be a winner - as long as you provide good unique content.
