Written by: Serge Daudelin

Article Overview: Search engine bots will start crawling your site from top. If your title is matching the users search query chances are there your site will be in the top of the search engine pages if optimized properly.

How To Choose The Right Keywords Density In Your Title Tag

The text in that appears in the title tag is quite important for your search engines ranking. Having your keywords appear here is definitely something you can't afford to miss.

Your TITLE tag should be between 50 - 85 characters in length. There is no need to put more than that. Google, MSN and Yahoo currently displays approximately 50-85 characters of the title.

Search engine robots will start crawling your site from top. If your title is matching the users search query chances are there your site will be in the top of the search engine pages if optimized properly.

Also it is important to remember that the first words in the title tag are weighted more heavily than all the following words.

Sure a title should contain your main keywords. It should these naturally since it describes what's on the page, but you need it to contain your keywords for SEO purposes. To my experience, I was successful in ranking sites when I maintained a Keyword density on the titles.

However never overemphasis your Title Tag keywords density. If is seems cluttered to a human, then the search engine algorithms will probably know that your are trying to trick it.

Also make sure you're targeted keyword are not to broad. Competition is fierce and you won't win the battle if you try to outrun multi million dollar insurance companies!.

Using your keywords and phrases the right way means more potential for incoming links from other sites, and more targeted traffic. Which is the ultimate goal.

To Your Success!

Scoping Your Articles for Ghostwriters - Martin, can you advise your process for scoping out the work for article writing. specifically, 1. How do you scope the boundaries of the article? (is it by the Keywords?) 2. How many keywords do you provide to the ghostwriter for an article of a certain size? 3. How do you measure quality? (is it just your impression that the article is good)? 4. Who owns the article? 5. How do you know that this article is not published elsewhere on the Internet? Thanks
Re: MUST READ: Rules & Guidelines for Review My... - No problem DH, Another thing about posting your own thread is your Title becomes the title in search results. It's why we want original topics to have their own thread. You'll get more "eyes" viewing and hopefully participating in the discussion. I'll redirect to your new thread. Look forward to discussing your site, very interesting.... Zac
Re: Search Engine Optimization - [quote="tobuso":2p2i4nbc][quote="Shimmy":2p2i4nbc]Just curious as to what others are doing to optimize their websites. I have received a page rank 5 from google which is very good in my line of business in comparison to my competition. I am still not coming close to being on the first page for main key word searches though, even though all of the websites ahead of me have a smaller page rank. Does anyone know how this works and what I can focus on? Thanks![/quote:2p2i4nbc] What you have done is amazing. 6 Months to a page rank of 5 is great. How did you do it?[/quote:2p2i4nbc] Hi there, John Alexander here. I agree, that if you have a Google page rank of 5, that is great (as far as PR goes.)Keep in mind that while PR does have benefits, it has little to do with where your page actually shows up in the search results. Having a PR of 3 or higher is fine, but I would not get too obsessed with it. One of the benefits of a higher PR is that the robots will visit you more often and another benefit is they will tend to stay longer on your pages and also dig a little deeper. But when it comes to where you show up within the search results, you must remember that Google (or none of the search engines grade on an absolute scale. What that means is that how difficult or how easy it is to get your page coming to the top depends totally on how competitive your competitive landscape is. The more competition there is for a specific phrase, then the more you have to do some work to compete. One of the best ways to begin is to look for any errors that are easy to fix. Are you using any dynamic pages that may cause the search engines to loop into a spider trap? Always remember, for any design challenge there are multiple ways to fix a problem. Is there any duplication in your Meta Description tags or Meta Title Tag? I only ask, because many times I see this one in Web sites where people are not aware of how important it is for each Title and each description to be unique. By that I mean each Title should relate to what is actually relevant to the page. Same with the Meta Description. This error is so common, that I often see that once people understand and fix the problem, (easy to fix) they quickly lose any duplicate content penalty and sometimes can increase their traffic by 20% to as much as 50% once Google sees them as unique and relevant. I know this is fairly basic, but if you star with the easy things to fix, it can bring you much better focus to your pages and you want every page on your site to be like an information rich gateway to attract many new readers. Then as you learn more and more advanced methodology, because the basics are right, they ultimately will carry you through and keep your pages performing in a stable way. I hope that helps a bit. Remember, doing good keyword research combined with only mild optimization can make you money.
