      A competitor uses the following format for all of their meta titles:

      [Store Name] Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | [Website Name]

      They do vary their titles slightly, depending on which keywords are searched for, for the particular store.

      What do you think about this title? I'm torn between it looking a little 'stuffy' but them also getting across the point that their page offers all of that.

        It certainly displays what they do. It isn't key word stuffing either. Personally, I would prefer it to look like...

        Voucher Codes | Cash-back | Discount Codes - [Website Name]

        Just personal preference. Does yours need the store name as well?

          No, it seems fine to me, tells me what you are up to - keyword stuffing is more along the lines of:

          Dress, Best Dresses, White Dresses, Green Dresses | Dress Shop

          Which believe it not people still do...

            Hi Vick,

            To be sure I understand it correctly, the titles look like this
            Olive Garden Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | ThisSite.com
            Walmart Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | ThisSite.com
            BestBuy Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | ThisSite.com

            In such case that makes perfect sense to me.
            Title 1 would be going for keywords like:

            • Olive Garden Voucher Codes
            • Olive Garden Cashback
            • Olive Garden Discount Codes

            And depending on the [sites name] they could actually have more keyword combos using this method.

            Your concern is valid, and this site may have an issue if they were just trying to target broader keywords like "Voucher Codes" & "Discount Codes". Since those keywords have a broader scope, and they are repeated on many pages search engines may have a trouble assigning a certain page to those search terms. However, those keywords while broader may have less search volume then the targeted keywords.

            My thoughts,

            Don

              I wouldn't consider it keyword stuffing, reads pretty naturally, but it also looks like the same thing everyone else does... how would that stand out in these SERPs? What would make someone click yours over someone else's on this ultra dull list? Literally no one stands out.
