Benefits of having a Title-Tag that fits on the SERP

[GSO]

Has anyone seen any case studies that show that title-tags that fit on the page (http://moz.com/blog/new-title-tag-guidelines-preview-tool) have a higher ctr than title-tags that don't fit? I know it's been said that keywords past the pixel limit still matter but if there's a major benefit to ctr for title-tags that fit....Any thoughts?

Hi,

Absolutely! If you think about it, if you see a title that doesn't fit and you only see half a message, then you are unlikely to click on it. You can miss off important messages to help people make an informed decision and pass up opportunities for SEO.

"User Experience" is the answer!! It always is.

When you see a title tag that is cut off, it makes you wonder... "What do they mean?" or "What are they trying to say?"

Most will skip right on by.

While there may be other sites, I have always used the seomofo.com site Snippet tool to test for same...works, and works great!

Wouldn't there be cases where a trailing message could actually entice the viewer to click though? I know I've clicked on SERP titles before for that reason.
