SEOMoz report says: 1 Warning Title Element Too Long (> 70 Characters)

SEOMoz report says: 1 Warning  Title Element Too Long (> 70 Characters) Found 36 minutes ago Number of characters 112 (over by 42)" but I go to my Magento and look in both titles, meta & main and there are indeed only 70 showing. The additional come because my domain name, ergoback.com is in the error.! How to fix this please?

You have two titles.

<title></span><span class="webkit-html-tag">Ergoback- Neutral Posture Seating | Ergonomic Office Chairs | Rochester, NY</span><span class="webkit-html-tag"></title> (75 characters)

<title></span><span class="webkit-html-tag">ErgoBack.com Home Ergo Back - www.ErgoBack.com</span><span class="webkit-html-tag"></title> (46 chars)

So you have one title over 70 and a total of about 120 characters in the <title>tags. I would guess those are your two problems.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p></title>

matt, thanks, but the above two titles do not show up this way on my magento back end.

it adds: "ErgoBack.com" at the begin, and, and "Ergo Back - www.ErgoBack.com" thus adding 42 characters over 70.

On my Magento, my general description says:

330 Series: Lift and Lock Articulating Arm - For Shallow Work Surfaces

and my meta title says:

330 Series: Lift and Lock Articulating Arm - For Shallow Work Surfaces

So why/where does my domian, ergoback get counted?

In your theme goto graysclae/template/page/html/head.phtml

This line adds your site name in

<title>echo $this->getTitle() ?>title>

Thanks, Christopher. Do I need this, my site name here? Can I delete it?

[Everett]

Ergoback,

You have two sections of code on each page for Title tags and meta descriptions. You only need one. As Vancity Stacks suggested, one is probably added by Magento and the other is probably added by the theme. The theme's versions of title and meta description would probably be the easiest and safest to remove. Yes, you can delete it.
