      I'm getting an error of the title element being too long on a few pages. Most of them are super easy fixes however there is one that's not.

      On our rss feed I think the titles of each blog are getting concatenated together. Here is the example of the xml:

      <title>First Blog title</title>

      <title>Second Blog title</title>

      When I check using a spider simulator (http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/spider/index.php) it tells me that my title is the actual page title tag. Is this a MOZ error and will it show up on google properly?

      The second part I've noticed about the rss feed is that it's reporting too many links in it. Does that matter in this case?

      Thanks

        Hey,

        You can ignore the too-much links issues. That is completely normal in Today Websites (javascript, tabs, etc.).

        About the too long titles, Google indexes only 70 chars, therefore, if you have longer titles, try cutting them with some script, there are a lot of options online for whatever language you are using to code.

        Use that cut function on your RSS generator as well, and make sure the most important part of the title in on the front, as it is actually what users will see while searching.

        Hope that helps!

          I've got all proper page titles but wasn't overly concerned with the RSS. Just wanted to make everything as good as I possibly can.

          Yes, it was helpful. Thanks.
