    4. My company's product is referred to by two different names (SVN and Subversion). When cleaning up our Title tags, is it OK to use either name to keep the title tags around 70 characters?

      I am cleaning up title tags that are too long or not correct.  In our title tag we reference our product (a version of OSS source code).  This product is often referred to as both SVN or Subversion.  When writing Title tags is it OK to use one or the other depending on the length of the Title Tag?

      For instance:

      vs

      **About CloudForge | Free Subversion & Git Hosting | Bug Tracking **

        SVN = 86% difficulty / 18185 global Bing search volume.

        Subversion = 83% difficulty / 3164 global Bsv.

        • Both keywords have the same difficulty; SVN is more searched than subversion.

        One of your popular page is https://help.cloudforge.com/entries/22483742-Setting-up-svn-externals

        Most people search "svn externals", not "subversion externals". For each important page, you should check what is the most important keyword, SVN or subversion; it looks that SVN is far more popular.

        Good news: it will be easier to stay under 70 characters :).
