I noticed on a site that ranks above me for 'keyphrase" that they have two similar tags in their area:
<title>keyphrase</title>
I've used the first (<title>) on all my pages. I've not used the 2nd at all. Should I? I'm trying to optimize mostly for Google. I found this article http://www.webmarketingnow.com/tips/meta-title.html but looking for opinions from the experts here...</p> <p>Also, does it matter if the <title> tag is the 1st thing after the <head> tag or is anywhere withing <head> okay?</p> <p>Thanks.</p></title>

Do not waste your time using the meta title, we've run experiments and found no boost whatsoever using meta title, just focus on regular title tag, links, and fresh high-quality content.
It does NOT matter where in the tag your title tag is, but personally we put it right after the opening head tag for a good practice and to have a cleaner code layout. But, it matters NOTHING.
Good luck!
