Use Keywords
In Page Titles
It is
recommended to use keywords in page titles itself. This title tag is different from a Meta tag, but it's worth considering it in relation to them. Whatever text one places
in the title tag (between the <title> and </title> portions) will appear in the title bar of
browsers when they view the web page. Some browsers also append whatever you put in the title tag by adding
their own name, as for example Microsoft's Internet Explorer or OPERA.
The
actual text you use in the title tag is one of the most important factors in how a search engine may decide to
rank your web page. In addition, all major web crawlers will use the text of your title tag as the text they use
for the title of your page in your listings.
If you
have designed your website as a series of websites or linked pages and not just a single Home Page, you must
bear in mind that each page of your website must be search engine
optimized. The title of each page i.e. the keywords you use on that page and the phrases you use in the content
will draw traffic to your site.
The
unique combination of these words and phrases and content will draw customers using different search engine
terms and techniques, so be sure you capture all the keywords and phrases you need for each product, service or
information page.
The
most common mistake made by small business owners when they first design their website is to place their
business name or firm name in every title of every page. Actually most of your prospective customers do not
bother to know the name of your firm until after they have looked at your site and decided it is worth book
marking.
So, while you want your business name in the
title of the home page, it is probably a waste of valuable keywords and space to put it in the title line of
every page on your site. Why not consider putting keywords in the title so that your page will display closer to
the top of the search engine listing.
Dedicating first three positions for keywords in title avoiding the stop words like ‘and’, ‘at’ and the
like is crucial in search engine optimization.
