    Hey

    So you know when you go to a website the header title shows up at the top of the browser. What is a better title for my website for SEO purposes?

    Movies, Music, TV and Gaming | We Got This Covered

    or

    We Got This Covered - Movies, Music, Tv and Gaming


    Thanks

    Visitors see it right way, Movies, Music, TV and Gaming. That should be the title, your second title, suits more for a sentence instead for title.

    hmm, actually I do not know the competition level for your keyword. But you should target one keyword per page. Any good title will do as long you include your main keyword on it.

    My suggestion would be the first one. That way your keywords(if any in the title) will be counted for your ranking and having your site name at the end will help you establish your brand.

    Cheers.

    First title is better but I don't prefer either of them, try something a little different imo that doesn't use commas etc.

    Generally need to include one or two of your website keywords, and then the text is to use a number of attractive

    The 1st one but since that is a popular niche, if your website is quite new, it will be difficult to rank for those keywords.

    You will have more success ranking for individual pages and there, if you keep the same structure "title - tag line", it would make more sense than the second option.

    Remember also that Google will use the title tag as the link tag on their search results ... so
    as well as making sure you have your main keywords/keyword phrases in there, you also want to make it appealing to your target visitor.

    Personally I'd lose the "We Got This Covered" part. It means nothing, for SEO it means nothing, and if I was searching through Google results it doesn't grab.

    You want to do your best to use your main keyword/phrases in such a manner that it reads well in the engine results.

    Good luck

    i'd go with the first one. has the keywords in the front, and it's the first thing your viewers will see.
