Maximum <title>length - use full or shorten?</title>
-
I have a Title on a page that has more than 70 chars in it, and I also have to include the page type and brand in the title.
- page type: Type
- page header: This is the page title of the long title and I need to add more content
- brand: Brand
Is it better to concanenate the title server-side and use a .. instead, like this?
Type: This is the page title of the long title and I need to.. | Brand
Or, should I put the full Title of the page so that the keywords are available for Google? example,
Type: This is the page title of the long title and I need to add more content | Brand
I'm trying to keep to the 70 char limit for Google.
Which solution is the more ideal situation?
Thanks all

Page title is good if its upto 66 characters.. Some says 60 or 70 Characters but google displays upto 66 Characters in SERP..
As per my knowledge its good if you trim your title within 66 Characters.. Yes its helpful if you use Page Type & Brand Name in Title. Dont go above 66Characters because google only show 66 Charachters for title in SERP's & if its more than 66 then Google dont see that. As you know Keyword | Brand Name is good practice but Sometimes the message is more important than the keyword & brand.
If you want to use big title as Blogs usually have big title then your 2nd example is good "This is the page title of the long title and I need to add more content | Brand"
Hope this answered your question.

Hi,
I've read that document already, it still doesn't answer my specific question -- that's why I asked it here.

I agree, using that Keyword | Brand is best. However, that doesn't answer my question above...please re-read the question about the character limit and how to implement a <title></p></title>

According to most tools it is best to place your keywords closer to the beginning of your title. I always use keyword | Brand. It will display nicely on the SERP, and users like that.

Duplicate Content/Similar Pages
Hello, I'm working on our site and I'm coming into an issue with the duplicate content. Our company manufactures heavy-duty mobile lifts. We have two main lifts. They are the same, except for capacity. We want to keep the format similar and the owner of the company wants each lift to have its own dedicated page. Obviously, since the layout is the same and content is similar I'm getting the duplicate content issue. We also have a section of our accessories and a section of our parts. Each of these sections have individual pages for the accessory/part. Again, the pages are laid out in a similar fashion to keep the cohesiveness, and the content is different, however similar. Meaning different terminology, part numbers, stock numbers, etc., but the overall wording is similar. What can I do to combat these issues? I think our ratings are dropping due to the duplicate content.

Create Page Titles from H1 using Yoast?
I'm working on a site that has 280 blog posts that have either been migrated from an old CMS site or created on the Dev version of the new WordPress site. We've written 280 unique meta descriptions so they don't truncate but it there a quick way I can export the current H1s and then import them into Yoast so they are set as the Page Titles? I've written unique Page Titles and meta descriptions for all the Service and Products page and just want a way to speed up the blog posts as their H1s are really good and what I would use as Page Titles anyway. Any help, greatly appreciated!

Titles in google serps incorrect
If you do the following query in google: site:orlandovisiting.com legend sparrow You'll see in the results the title appears as: legend-captain-jack-sparrow-1149.html Where the title tag in the source is: <title>The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow Opens at Disney’s Hollywood Studiostitle> Eventually it normally rights itself, but does anyone else get this with their sites? Thanks.

What are the SEO implications of URLs that use a # in them?
I have several clients who have begun to ask questions about sites that are designed to look like a single page. When you click on a link, the URL changes but it uses a # before (i.e. http://www.kelloggs.com/teamusa**/#**/teamusa/athletes/kerri-walsh.html. What are the SEO implications of having a page set up this way? I noticed that Google has indexed this page but the indexed URL does not include a #. Is Google indexing a separate version of this page? Any insights would be really helpful! Thanks

Is a 302 useful here?
We have a site that had one super successful viral video a couple of years back and basically the site needs a ton of work to even be functional. We don't have the time or the resources to even touch it. Our video is still getting tons of views today and I'm fairly certain it's the only reason the site still gets traffic. Most of the views come from youtube which prompts them to check out the site. We plan on going back to the site at a later date, but for now wanted to redirect it to another site of ours. In this case is it best practice to 302? or is a 301 still the proper solution?
