What does the Title say?

A well-written TITLE tag is essential for SEO. A title or headline is the first thing that anyone finds about a page, on search engine page results.

One should include keywords relevant to the company’s products and services at the beginning of the title tag. Character limits for the title differ for different search engines.

Try to keep the title tag short (64 characters or less), which should be EASY TO UNDERSTAND. A title tag helps the search engine to determine the webpage content, and a well-written title will help one’s website position better on search engine page results.

Besides, with zillions of websites around with similar products/services, the Internet users look for information, relevant to their searches. Hence, the title should not confuse readers.

Relevance is the objective of Google

Unlike before, today the search-engine algorithms are not easy to interpret.

Earlier people used to include keywords here and there on the web page, and that helped with search engines, then. Today, the situation has changed. The search engine giant Google no longer tolerates keyword spamming by any means, to improve web-page ranking.

Today, the mantra for online success is: relevance and quality. The search algorithms of Google evaluate websites on relevance of information. Whether title, or inward links, the algorithm assesses everything to determine the value of the website/page.

Daily millions of people use Google for different searches and queries. More people use Google than any other search engine (Bing, Yahoo, Ask and AOL). Thus, for targeted web-traffic, one should never ignore Google guidelines.

For high conversion rate, the landing page should have relevant and high quality information. Please assess the landing page of your website. Is it relevant for the Internet users?
