    One until five keywords, recomended. The score of tilte relevance is divided at number of words that compose the title, from the left to the right- the most important word is first, second, etc.

    Just keep your title short but with rich keywords (relevant to your main theme)

    SEO gurus like Peter Kent did mention some numbers in their SEO books but most of us would really suggest you to go ahead and put down a short and descriptive title for the page (check out the title of the first ranking site in your niche for some reference if you desire).

    Usually short, punchy titles are the most attention grabbing, and the most memorable. I think the Title Tag should preferably be around 60 characters in length, including spaces and punctuation, to ensure it will properly display in the widest array of SERPs, menus, etc.

    It has long been mentioned that there is no length of a title that matters. After 65 characters it is said that it will stop reading but i have heard of no penalty.

    The important thing is to try to use as few as possible keywords so that the focus of your page is defined.

    I normally suggest 2 - 8 words and no more than three focuses.

    Also you should put the most important ones to you on the left. Don't use "the" "and" "or" and please don't use the name of your company if it is not also a keyword for people finding you.

    I have two keywords that I want to SEO. I want to include them both into my title but i dont want to make it look like spam. Lets say the first keyword is a b c and the other is a c. If I include a b c in the title, will that include the keyword a c as well or should I include a b c and a c?

    Your title help you if it is representing your page. So, create a content that can be described in title (title withkeywords)
