Keyword rich domain name and page title

[mdmoz]

Hi guys,

First of all, I must say I love this community, and that SEO is great and at time fascinating :d

Ok my question now is, I have this domain which is keyword rich, later I noticed Google changed my pages title into something else but similar, also added my domain name (mysite.com) in the titles.

Google had taken some of his auto-title-suggestions from inside my pages, later i changed them and saw google changed the titles too accordingly, nice work google )

So I figured this tile name changing is because my domain is already keyword rich, right? so the best practice is, I create a more unique descriptive title + my domain name at the end of the title. (And for homepage, domain name .com at the beginning in the title.

What do you think?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Google changed some of our page titles and they were actually longer than the accepted pixel width.  I'm not sure if this is the case for you but may be worth a try.  You can find more information about that here: http://moz.com/blog/new-title-tag-guidelines-preview-tool.

Hello Sika22,

You are beautiful!

No, that's not the case. I already follow the new guidelines for page titles, thanks to Moz.

Hi,

It is worth remembering that Google may change the way your page title is shown in search results whenever they want, so it can be really hard to control them. You can read more here:

In terms of how to write good page titles, there are a couple of things to bear in mind:

• Write them with the user in mind - what would be most appealing to someone?
• Include keywords but don't include too many so that the title doesn't read well
• Keep them short and to the point (see link below)
• Don't duplicate them across pages, make sure they're all unique

Moz wrote the following guide which you may find helpful. There is also a tool so that you can preview titles:

Cheers.
