Page Titles of Blog

[Studio33]

Hi,

Should all the page titles of our blogs include a Keyword(s) and\or our website name?

[jesse-landry]

Absolutely! But only if it's

a.) not too long

b.) relevant to the page's content

c.) attractive to the target audience

i.e. don't make it long and spammy; keep it short and sweet because remember that this is what your potential visitor will be clicking on to visit your site. IT MUST ENTICE THE VIEWER!

Hope that helps.

Hi,

On blogs I usually don't use or advice to use the brand or domain name as blog titles are usually long - adding the domain / brand will only make them even longer. If your blog makes a good job as far as branding - no need to put that in your Title.

As far as keywords - that is always a good idea - but again - you should use your main keyword that is targeted with a particular post in your H1 and use the h1 also as the title tag - that can cover the basic setup. Anyway, I would rather not use the keyword in the Title tag / h1 if it dosen't fit and if it's not really readable like Jesse also mention. Also the keyword, to "maximize" the SEO effect should be as much as possibile closer to the beginning of the title.

You can add for some - the hype formula for keywords - Use the "keyword: comment" format.

So if your main keyword is Iphone and your post is actually called "the new model of Iphone" you can move the keyword in front using: "Iphone: the new model" - stupid sample but hope it sends the idea

Hope it helps.
