Will i get slapped by Google if i use the following post titles in my wordpress blog
Category keyword : name of post
-
Build trust with content that people actually use. This might mean its good enough to;
-
bookmark to refer to later
-
email to a friend or collegue
-
refer back to later yourself
-
get shared on social naturally
-
get linked to natually
Content that does this is
-
helpful (new info or old info just more detailed or done better than anyone, or put in a new way)
-
entertaining - gets people to laugh, cry, feel inspired
-
teaches something
-
shares something personal
-
innovative.
I always refer to this to jump start my brain with ideas.

Again - don't forget users! Titles with category names up front tend not to get clicked on so much as having the post title up front.
I would highly encourage a human approach as well as getting your keywords in the titles for Google.

I would honestly write your titles mainly for humans. Personally I feel;
Post Name - Site Name
to be the best format.

1st site created : 29th of May - Still out of the Top 100 (it had 6 weeks in the top 20)
2nd Site created 5th of july - Back in the top 10.
Okay Guy's this weird , Yesterday i dropped out of the ranking for the category keyword for my second site but today i am back in the top ten for this. However i would note that i am adding new content every day .
How do i build trust ?

Your temporary excellent rankings is called a "hello world" ranking algorithm that allows a brand new site to rank for a brief period after it is launched and then it's straight to reality with poor rankings after a couple of weeks, and you need to work for it. Your keyword change most likely had nothing to do with it, a two week old site needs to build up trust in Google and that can take some time.
if this helped you please thumbs up or mark as good answer thanks!

I wouldn't think this would cause you to drop from the search results, check to see if anything else has change.
If not try removing the category keyword from the post and see if you rise again. If you don't rise, work on creating content to build links.

What i did was i made all my posts has sticky posts and they all have category keyword | page topic. I started this website 2 weeks ago and i was ranking page one but yesterday i disappeared completely from the search engines. However if i type the site name i am still listed in google.

I don't think you will get "slapped" as long as your category pages are not listing loads of your posts where the titles is also shown, because that might look like keyword stuffing if it appears 10-20 times in a H1 tag.
Also it might have negative effects, because if your using that keyword for every page then their all going to be competing with each other in the SERP.

Titles and User Intent
Hi all, Just a question re: Titles. Does adding terms like "buy online" to the title for ecommerce websites change the way Google ranks you? For example: Blue Flowers | Flower Palace Buy Blue Flowers Online | Flower Palace Would the second title appear higher for people in the buying phase of the sales funnel, and lower for people in the research phase of the buying funnel? Or will it not matter?

Page title contents
In my page title, I have my product name. Is it beneficial to also include another keyword like: Buy wedding dress online Australia: e..g. (page title) amelie wedding dress | buy wedding dress online Australia. Or is it better just using: Amelie wedding dress

I dont know why it is showing the name of the company followed by a colon at the beginning. The home page is the only one that is having that problem. Thx!
