Can i do this? Will Google penalize me?

[marig]

I have a page for a Criminal Defense Attorney and i set up a list of the type of criminal charges he is certified to deal with. I wanted to use title tags and put the Keyword "Miami Criminal Defense Attorney" & "Miami Traffic Defense Lawyer"...

My question is will Google penalize me for plugging the same Key words over and over on the title tag for each

  CHECK THE IMAGE to see what I'm talking about... thanks guys.

As a user, when I hover over those links, I'm going to think it's strange and annoying when that title text keeps appearing for every link.  I doubt you're going to be fooling Google with that.  It's blatant keyword stuffing.  As for whether it's worth penalizing, I don' t know.  I don't think Google takes the title attribute into account very much for rankings anyway...

I'd get rid of it them, or make the title text match the links it appears for.

My intentions weren't to fool Google -_- and yes you are correct about title attribute not being a major factor for optimization (just needed some tips on how to avoid this). I didn't want to stuff keywords into the alt or title tags from the beginning just needed a visible representation of what i was exactly talking about to show the moz community.

Ill just get rid of them for now and put the title tags some where else with suitable key words..

Title tags and Alt tags do help for key word optimization though if i'm not mistaken. But I've seen some title tags with over 20 key words stuffed in them and that's just horrid.

I've seen Google slap a site for something similar.  An attorney added 20 new pages to his site, all having to do with divorce.  Links were added to the main navigation of the page. Anchor text was like "Miami Divorce Lawyer for Artists", "Miami Divorce Lawyer for Actors" etc.  After the site got crawled their rankings dropped.  Pulled the links (kept the content) and rankings were restored in a week.

I would call each one what it is.

For images at least, they say alt >> title.
