| <title>Your
Title Goes Here</title> |
The
title tag is the first
part of your page
the search engine
reads. It needs to
define what the content
of your page is so
the search engines
know what they have
found. Your
title tag needs
to contain the primary
keywords
you are targeting
and shouldn't be cluttered
with useless words
which have no value
(such as and). Using
words which don't
need to be there or
using words too many
times will take weight
away from your main
keywords and devalue
your ranking position.
The
main keyword we want
to target for SEOselfhelp.com
is 'SEO Help'. Our
secondary keywords
are 'SEO Tutorial',
'SEO Guide', 'Search
Engine Optimization'
and 'Organic SEO'.
Here
is a bad example of
getting the most from
the Title Tag

Although
all of our main keywords
are used, the positioning
of them, excess use
of 'SEO' and useless
words means this isn't
optimized as well
as it could be.
To
fully understand this
we need to see it
as a search engine
will. To do this lets
use the example above
and pretend someone
has just searched
for SEO Help which
is our main keyword.
