SEO Title Characters & Meta Description
Page Titles and Descriptions
Page Titles are very important for Search engines. The titles
in the browser are displayed in the title bar. The search engines
would look at the this title bar to determine what the page is all
about.
Description tags are called meta tags as they are not
displayed by the browsers as that of titles. But these descriptions
may be displayed by some search engines. They are used to describe
the contents of a page in 2 or 3 sentences.
The Meta title tag is far more important than your meta tags.
The Meta title characters are best when its about 65 characters
(meta title tag recommended characters length) including white spaces and are keyword rich. More weight-age is
usually given to keywords in title tags. Use a unique title on each
page of your website and make it describe what will be found on that
page. Make sure the title and description tag matches the pages
content. Also make sure that the main keywords for each page are in
the title tag. Meta title characters with spaces should be minimal
i.e. it should not start or and with a space.
Meta description tag is usually the text displayed under your
page title in the SERPs. The Meta description characters are
best when its about 65 characters. This helps the user decide which of the 10
results to click on, or to move to the next page or a different
phrase. Make the meta description tag human readable and enticing.
Meta Keywords tag are used to place your keywords that you
think a surfer would search in Search engines. Repeating keywords
unnecessarily would be considered spam and you may get permanently
banned from SERP's
Most of the webmasters (including me) believe the following
are good quantitatively
Meta Title Length = 63 characters
Meta Keyword tag = 256 characters
Meta Description tag = 156 characters
All values are including spaces, and make sure beyond this limit the
stuff will get cropped automatically.
Warning: DO NOT stuff your title with just
keywords.
Title are important even in your everyday life
Let’s say you are in a music store looking for cd's of Rock Music.
As a browser, your eyes review the titles of each cd case
looking for something that is relevant to what you are searching
for. Title is so important even here.
Most Common Title Errors
1. Missing titles in your pages.
2. Your Titles in the wrong position.
3. Confusing and inaccurate titles.
3. Too many Spaces in Meta Title
