The META title tag, Presision

[Vale7]

Do you have an opinion on the META title tag, useful or can I just remove it? Thank You

THIS TAG :

Thank YOU

The title tag is quite possibly the single most useful piece of on-page optimization you can do... Am I misunderstanding this question?

[cbielich]

No I am pretty sure Vale meant and Yes Jesse is right, its one of the most important things you can have so yes its very important

There is almost nothing more important to your onsite SEO than properly optimized title tags.  Like seriously...seriously seriously.  Cringe.

While you are at it, after you remove your title tags, make sure to add to everyone of your pages. Please don't...I'm kidding.

Please tell me you are joking.

You guys, where am I?

Where am I right now you guys?

We discussed this yesterday...you asked for the red pill.

I am not talking about the Title tag header  I am talking about the second tag !!!!

I asked about The META Title !!!!!

If you dont know what tag I am talking about please do not say obvious stuff.

Thank You !

Ugh. Glad you cleared it up. Your demeanor comes off a bit cross, however. "please dont say obvious stuff." --? What does that even mean? I was asking what you meant in my original post. I'm still unsure as to where I am right now.

In any case, the answer to your question is: No, it's pointless. Delete it and move on.

I doubt it hurts (maybe could be considered cloaking but most likely not, right?) but it certainly doesn't help so why have it?

Stick to your title tag and get on with it. There's a reason web developers and SEO minds alike are forgetting this meta tag even exists.

In the future, if we don't know what tag you are talking about we will probably just ask for clarity like I did here this time. The best way to avoid that is to make it clear. A lot of people mistakenly refer to the Title tag as the META TITLE so it can get confusing. Thanks and good luck!

Jesse is right, just have to be clear.

Good advise, thank You Jesse Landry.
