      Hello.

      I am looking at a customer site with a CMS system that is controlling the population of the meta TITLE

      Currently it has the TITLE set as this

      <title>(CR)(LF)<br />(HT)Site Details REMOVED - Customer name REMOVED(CR)(LF)<br /></title>

      Naturally, we would prefer it to be

      <title>Site Details REMOVED - Customer name REMOVED</title>

      What affect would these commands have in the title! Google shows their title when you Google the company website... so I guess it can see it .... but GA "Top Site Content" widget shows it as blank ?

      Any ideas?

      Cheers

        Hey

        I really would not sweat this one. The Title can have page breaks and whilst it would be nicer from a code formatting perspective if it did not it really should not hurt. If it is tripping up the Google Analytics Top Content report though then that in itself is a good argument to make what is the simplest of simple fixes to the back end of the CMS>

        Hope this helps!
        Marcus

          Thanks Marcus. I agree, might as well fix it, it's not a big job

          • Hi - How do you get rid of duplicate content that was accidentally created on a tag url? For example, when I published a new article, the content was duplicated on: /posts/tag/lead-generation/

          • 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?
