Title Tag Length & Readability
#1
Posted 06 February 2012 - 03:07 PM
I know humans can view 70 characters max in a Title tag, but what is the general consensus for making a Title tag that exceeds 70 characters? In my experience, it appears that about 50% of top ranking sites limit a Title tag to 70 characters and the other half exceed it, having the Title tag continue on with ellipses. Any advice? Is it just personal preference? Do we know of any negative effects to spanning longer than 70 characters?
Also, is it more important to have a readable Title tag or a Title tag that matches keyword phrases exactly?
Thanks!

On the other hand, it is inadvisable to stuff multiple targeted expressions into a page title.

IMO having more characters than necessary will not help you. Keep your titles catchy, concise and mysterious and people will click. The search engines will know from your meta tags what words to rank for.

Whatever gave you that idea?

If that were the case;
Why do search engines show the title element's content to their human searchers?
Why is the title element's content used in browser bookmarks and favourites?
