The keywords should appear once in the page title and about 3% in the whole article.. As far as I know..
What I mean to ask is, lets say there is a website for car manufacturers. And on its home page, there is title like "Best Car Manufacturer | Online Car Purchasing" etc. So these are two main keywords and other sub-keywords in it with total word count of 7. So is there are any ideal length, or word count in the Title? lets say, can be up-to 10?
You can use 2 to 3 keywords in your title tag.If you use more than 3 keywords then your title limit is over.
Hawk is right so you better use a strong keyword, then as for the title, i don't think it really matters if it is long or short, the important thing is the KEYWORD, it doesn't actually depends on the title but more on the content since the bots or spiders will read only the keywords. how? for example in a users point of view your teacher asked you to looked for "Best Car Manufacturer" surely you would type the whole phrase then add something like in USA or in Europe right? Then once you hit the search button spiders will crawl on every web page searching for the phrase "Best Car Manufacturer" and would crawl not only the title but the content as well that will be viewed on the result page.
Depends on the length of the keyword. For longtail keywords once is all you can use it before it becomes spammy. For shorter 2 - 3 keyword phases you might be able to get it in twice (and some people do recommend it), but I've seen it rank using just the keywords as the title (ex. best green widget) A bit off topic here, but I was under the impression to not overuse keywords on the page and around 2% was being thrown around in the forums, but that's only when submitting to ezinearticles. Here's some stats of a #1 ranking page: Body: 66 times out of 1841 words @ 7.2% H1/H2/H3: 23 times out of 197 words @ 23.4% I've seen higher. This page showed the keyword being optimized for as the most relevant using Google's keyword tool. What surprised me was that many of the pages showing up on Google's 1st page did not. Try doing a search on "weight loss" and pasting those URLs into Google's keyword tool (relevancy is shown by default). Many times the keyword doesn't even appear in the first 50 keyword terms.
