      A number of the client's we represent have seen drops in rankings.  The title tags on these sites are formatted old way of doing tilte: "Blue Widgets| Cheap Widgets | Metal Widgets".

      We are going to change them to the natural format: Acme Offers Blue, Metal Widgets for Any Budget."

      Just wondering if anyone has made similar changes post-penguin and if they've seen improved ranking from doing it.

        Sometimes not being consistent helps. Just my 2c. I would look at if there were other reasons. Are your off-page factors pretty well competitive. Did you get a unnatural links warning ? If after all those answers, you still think it's the page titles, change them on a handful of pages and see if you see any movement at all in the SERPS before investing a lot of time, effort and resources in this.

        • If Google still shows my old title in the search results then there is no way my title change could have changed my ranking yet right?
