What do you think of my Page Title?

    I've been trying to find the "perfect" page title. Since I use Mambo, it dynamically generates page titles based upon the page names. I have a global page title that I 'm trying to optmize. The big keywords for me are Treo and Treo 650 and Treo Accessories. I've been reading that it's important to keep shorter page titles and to avoid keyword stuffing (which I might have been guilty of). I've changed my Page Title for my homepage to:
    Treo 650 Smartphones, Accessories at EverythingTreo

    If you select a page, the page title becomes:
    Name of page - Treo 650 Smartphones, Accessories

    When creating pages, I try and make them keyword friendly.

    Any suggestions or opinions?

    Thanks.

    Recommended title length can be up to 10 words. You can put as many keywords as you want in there just dont make it look stupid. Create titles for the users with search engines in mind. I would never just make something for the search engines.

    I looked up keywords related to those and they are all very competitive though. Good luck.

    You might think about changing it to this:

    Treo 650 Smart Phones, Treo Accessories, Software at EverythingTreo

    or

    Treo 650 Smart Cellular Phones, Treo Accessories, Software at EverythingTreo

    As it is now, if someone typed in "treo phone" or "treo cell phone" instead of "treo smartphone", that title wouldn't be much benefit.

    It's these subtle changes that are dead-on. Good point. Smart phones and smartphones are both frequently searched for terms. Splitting the word makes sense.

    Thanks!
