Website Title - Keywords Only?

    Would it be better from an SEO perspective to have a web page with a title like this:

    Website Name - Keywords

    or just this:

    Keywords

    Does the Website Name get in the way of the search engines when it's in the title?

    I think the best way is to use only keywords in title, but you shouldn't overplay this.

    i think adding web site name in content page title is not a good idea

    I think it's important to have the keywords first in the title. If you must have the website name in the title, then I suggest adding it after the keywords, perhaps something like this...

    Keywords - Website Name

    Surely the better way to do this is to choose a website title that already has the keywords built into it? Keyword stuffing is relatively short-sighted, whereas if you build the keywords into your name, they'll form part of the brand for your site?

    Besides, a search result that contains a slew of random keywords isn't very likely to get clicked through in the SERPS. You want a snazzy title that attracts attention but contains the relevant keywords.

    I use "Keyword1 Keyword2 from Website Name".

    If your site has a crap name then you might want to remove this bit.
