    for search engine optimization relevancy I have a question I am optimizing a massage website! my question is is keyword relevancy in the title okay?

    or is a description in the title more relevant? does it matter if I use a title like this <title>massage kamaaina rates - massage specials - Northshore Hanalei Massage Discount Rates - Poipu Spa Deals</title> :eek:

    and what a title like this the better <title>massage deals and discounts for vacationers visiting the Hawaiian Islands </title>:eek:

    I'm just trying to target the most relevant title tag and not use keyword stuffing to on balance the search engines and indexing my metadata title text. Any help will do thank you:eek:

    Try not to use small words in your meta data such as "and" "the" for" ect.

    You have 65-70 characters at your disposal, make the best out of it. To me the second title is more appropriate. Here I would like to quote an excerpt from Google's SEO starter guide:-

    "Create unique, accurate page titles
    A title tag tells both users and search engines what the topic of a particular page is. The <title> tag
    should be placed within the <head> tag of the HTML document. Ideally, you should create a unique
    title for each page on your site."

    You're not supposed to keyword stuff, but in my experience having the exact keyphrase in your title helps a lot. I really don't think Google is all that smart.

    I usually just pick one keyword phrase and use it in the title alone, perhaps followed by the website name, but thats it. This alone has shown dramtic improvements in rank. Sites that previously rank nowhere for their target keyword have shot up onto page 3 or 4 with this technique alone, from their you just need to build targeted backlinks.

    Yes try not to use stop words like and, &, it etc, as they will pull down your keyword density, try to get as many keywords in the title as possible but it must be readable so don't make it a list.

    I agree 100% with that percent title tag relevancy makes up for a huge amount of google.com keyword search for metadata here is what I chose as my main title tag <title>Beach Massage Therapy On Kauai - Beach Spa Massage North Shore Hanalei, Hi </title>

    my biggest selective metadata question?? I lived in the Hawaiian and island - is it okay to use a state or city name in the title tag? will this restrict the relevancy or should I use the city and state keywords in the content?

    I figured it would identify the search for my state? because the highest paying keyword for my relevancy is kauai massage

    just wanted to know from BP for members if using a city and state in the title tags are okay.......................... Cruz and green lights

    Always include your targeted keywords is the main rule of thumb

    I would get the most important words you are targeting near the start at least

    using the proper keywords in the beginning of the title tag is a smart idea although keyword in the beginning of the density is three times more important than just having the most in Porton keyword in the title tag

    itcoll do you agree using unique words really help search engine ranking.

    meditating in meta-phrase and has a multitude of optimization values, one of my biggest fallacies toward the optimize webpages is the key phrase in meaning multiple phrases such as massage therapy treatment for example. As a professional massage web designer I use the most relevant keywords structure that's very dynamic. Keyword meta-phrasing meaning state city or town may be a great asset - toward ranking well on Google's home page. all the other major search engines are still indexing your webpage keeping that in mind is a valuable trait what I've done with my massage website is this........ in the title tags I used <title>Beach Massage Therapy On Kauai - Beach Spa Massage North Shore Hanalei, Hi </title> for this page kauaimassages.com/beach-massage-treatment/index.html now my question is how relevant and this is on the serps? :eek:

    Im using pipeline (|) to separate my set of keyphrase. Here's my example:

    I've often wondered is using using a pipeline over a - does it make any difference as far as relevancy is concerned can someone please answer the question .

    As far as content and meta-tag strategy is concerned can someone please rate this massage therapy webpage
