    Currently this is my title

    BODYBOARDING BODYBOARDS BZ BODYBOARD SWIM FINS BOOGIE BOARDS SURF SHOP MOREY BOOGIE BOARD

    pretty rediculus yes?

    well my main keywords are bodyboarding, bodyboards, bodyboard, swim fins, boogie board, boogie boards, surf shop

    WHat do you suggest ?

    would this be better
    noticer i cut the words "bz" and "morey"

    Bodyboarding | Bodyboards | Bodyboard | Swim Fins | Board Boogie Boards | Surf Shop

    ??

    I read i should do something like this from Brad Larkin of seoelite.com

    Do I need both "board" and "boards" for the keyword boogie board and boogie boards or can I just do it once plural??

    maybe i can cut "surf shop" too??

    A title is also for humans not just serach engines, I think you'd be better having a human readable title targeting one phrase and then create additional pages targeting the other keywords.

    there's a certain lenght of chars that you shouldnt go over for your title, I forget what it is, maybe someone here can remind, but it looks pretty long. I would definately shorten it and make it more readable. The title is the first point of contact a human has with your site when they find it in the SE's - there is no point being #1 if people read it and think it is jibberish and spammy, so go to #2 instead.

    Swim Fins | Board Boogie Boards | Surf Shop

    change it around whatever....but anything more will look retarded. Vary the anchor text you get with singular/plural...

    Think of what title The New York Times newspaper would use.

    The more you repeat a word in the title, the less value it will be given. The longer the title is, the less value each individual word will be given.

    I would pick one or two of your most valuable key words and target those. Save the other keywords for other pages.
