Title tag question

[activitysuper]

Hi,

If I wanted to rank for 'cheap football boots' and 'football boots' which tag would be the best option:

1. Cheap Football Boots (notice both keywords im targeting are included)

2. Cheap Football Boots, Football Boots (both keywords separate)

and the keywords sit on an EMD (cheapfootballboots.co.uk)

Cheers

Hi there

I don't think it's necessary to repeat 'football boots' as it could look a bit spammy, so I'd go with option 1, but then expand a little, taking it up to 60 characters or so.

For example: add in your location if you have a bricks and mortar shop and want to target local searches, or perhaps think seasonal and add 'Christmas deals', 'back to school', etc.

Hope that helps

Heather

Surely first one is better. If you look at the second one than football boot makes up nearly 50% of the the text which is close to keyword stuffing. One other option could be to use like cheap football boots - football boots to indicate google that those are two totally different querries you are targeting, but I would defintely use the first one only. In addition you have both words in your domaini as well.

may be you can try

Cheap Football Boots with one day free shipping

or

Cheap Football Boots sale for children

as Heather mentioned if you are targeting local clients in your area add your location..

Thanks for the replies.

One other thing I thought about as well, was when link building if the anchor text was 'cheap football boots' would this benefit both terms at the same time? basically kill to birds with one stone or would mixing it up a bit with some 'cheap football boots' and some 'football boots'.

i am not sure about how much juice you can get with the anchor text's pointing to same word.

as i read some where that it is better to  have different pages and different keywords linking to your site to get max.. i mean with the cheap football boots and football boots should lead to different pages in your domain..

correct me if i am wrong

I like these... they present the keyword and then a value proposition.

Online Football Boot Store, Buying Football Boots, something of that nature that would imply buying. I like using keywords that don't necessarily have the product in them, but target the lifestyle of the shopper. Good luck on your Quest!
