Title Tag Suggestion
-
Short title tag is more useful so if we just use our targeted keyword in home page title then is it useful.?
for example my website: http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/ i am targeting lawsuit loans keyword so if i use <title>TNF - Lawsuit Loans | Lawsuit Funding</title> is batter to use for main page or
<title>Lawsuit Loans | Lawsuit Funding | As Low As 1% | PreSettlement Funding</title>
can we have to use main targeting keyword on all webpage title tag ?
my website have 200+ page and i have to use different title tag for that pages including targated keyword so if i am targeting lawsuit loans in that title, what is best to divide title pipe, hyphen or comma ? does capitalization in title tag wrong effect ?
- Lawsuit Loans - As low as 1%
- Lawsuit Loans | As low as 1%
- Lawsuit Loans, As low as 1%
(or i have to use smaller cash in title)
for all different page i want to place this kind of title is it best for SEO purpose
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Fargo
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Escondido
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Erie
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Flint
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Fort Wayne
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Fresno
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Gainesville
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Grand Rapids
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Gilbert
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Gresham
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans High Point
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Hialeah
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Huntsville
if i am using this kind of different title for all page then it can effective for SEO or it will be come in keyword stuffing

Hi Prince
The local-based URL you have suggested is good, but the issue is not so much with the URL but how you can effectively target these searches without local offices - at least it would seem by the fact that you don't show any addresses of offices on your site that there are not any. Is that correct?
There is an excellent set of tips from Miriam Ellis on optimising for local searches on this post: https://moz.com/community/q/what-is-the-best-way-to-optimise-the-website-of-a-service-area-business-websites-for-local-search
The essential thing if you want to optimise for local searches is to show local citations of an office in that area. As Miriam says:
The most important thing for SABs (Service Area Businesses) to understand is that Google is heavily biased toward physical location. SABs must have at least one physical location in order to seek inclusion in Google's local index. This can be a home address - that's just fine! But it cannot be a virtual address, P.O. box, etc. And it should not be shared by any other business.
Is this site for a company who operate totally online or from just one phone number which could for anyone knows be offshore? If it is, you are not going to be successful with this strategy if you have no local offices that someone can walk into and buy the service. If it is an online only service being operated then your whole site should reflect that and you should market the site along those lines - with quality unique content being on the site answering the questions people may be searching for - based on the service you are offering.
The Title tag you suggest is OK for a home page yes although it's a little diluted and the "As low as 1%" would be of more value in the Description meta tag. No one will be searching for that key phrase. I don't think these days there is much difference with using pipe, hyphen or comma.
Sorry again to sound like I am being harsh on what you are trying to do. I think you are genuine guy trying to do their best, but with all the hard work you are putting in to this site you are better to direct it at making the site work well for you and your client.

so for that i have to build perfect website with some new relevant content and quality article. and wordpress platform is batter to build a responsive and good website, thanks for help so using keyword in url tag is not much useful, so if i want to perform SEO for local search then url like lawsuit-funding-columbus.html is not a good choice or what?
but i was ask something about title tag, so what kind of title tag are more effective.?
<title>Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans High Point</title>
or
<title>Lawsuit Loans | Lawsuit Funding | As Low As 1% | Pre Settlement Funding</title>
have to use pipe, hyphen or comma to separate keyword

The issue Prince with adding nofollow tags to those links is that the search engines will then not follow them and if you have no other links to those pages then they will not be indexed.

Hi Prince
My best advice for SEO is as I said before: focus on creating quality content about lawsuit loans grow your business and website by doing that and through social media.
SEO tricks and tactics won't help the site and will quite possibly hurt it. SEO today is not really about tactics but being strategic and is about having a high quality content strategy that engages with the information people are looking for and not gaming keywords.
The problem is with your pages in general. The inside pages of your site look like they contain a lot of duplicate content, e.g.
http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-lasvegas.html v http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-cleveland.html
and
http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-cleveland.html v http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-columbus.html
You have sentences like: _In Cincinnati, the process of lawsuit is often very time consuming and long. _Is that really true and unique of Cincinatti? Surely that would be true of most places.
If I am honest it looks like you have used a content spinner to generate the content on the pages on each of the cities and states. For example on the Columbus page it says: If any plaintiff’s need money and cannot wait to get money from the lawsuit, Lawsuit Funding Cincinnati is here for help.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time Prince. I understand you want to do the best for your client and your client will require you do the best for them. That best is not using the tactics you are now because as I say, these tactics will not help your site to rank for local search in these cities - speak to Miriam Ellis on Moz as she is an expert on local SEO - and at worst you will get hit my warnings from Google.
Sorry, but I hope that helps.

but client don't want to do any kind of changes in that page, so any other best suggestion for that ? i will add no follow tag for that all page links, so suggest me some ideas for best SEO for this website

Hi, I am not sure what to suggest to you other than to be cautious with the way you are optimising your site.
You have posted a few questions on this forum and you are obviously trying hard to SEO you site, but you could run into difficulty and put in a lot of effort with little or no results.
I had a look at your site: topnotchlawsuitloans.com and the tactics you are using will not work. For example, creating custom pages for Lawsuit Loans <city name="">or <state name="">(see attached screenshot) without local offices in those cities and states will not work and is likely to be seen as very spammy by Google.</state></city>
My best advice is to focus on creating quality content about lawsuit loans grow your business and website by doing that and through social media.
I hope that helps,
Peter

A question about title tag when the page has 2 services.
Hi all, Assuming a company has two services: SEO and PPC. Here is the situation: I would like to focus on SEO for now but also don't want to leave my PPC service out of the page. SEO accounts for 60% of the content, while PPC accounts for 40%. Assuming the content (SEO + PPC) of the page will not change, which title tag would you prefer, and why? SEO | brand name (Is it appropriate that the title focus on SEO but the content of the page contains PPC) SEO | PPC | brand name (Will the keywords dilute each other?) SEO | SEM Agency | brand name (The idea behind it is that SEM includes SEO and PPC so I think Google would be OK with the page ranking for SEO and also including PPC in the content. I really appreciate your help and explanation. Thank you!

In Wordpress getting marked as duplicate content for tags
Moz is marking 11 high priority items for duplicate content. Just switched to wordpress and publishing articles for the site but only have a few. The problem is on the tag pages. Since there aren't very many articles so when you go to the tag pages it lists one or two articles and hence there are pages with duplicate content. Most of the articles have the same tags / categories. Perhaps I'm using too many tags and categories? I'm using about 7 tags and around 2 categories for each post / event. I've read the solution is using canonical tags but a little confused on which page I should use for the tag and then I believe I need to point the duplicate pages to the correct page. For example, I have two events that are for dances and both have the same tags. So when you visit, site.com/tags/dance or site.com/events both pages have the same articles listed. Which page do I select as having the original content? Does it matter? Does that make sense? Someone was also saying I could use the Yoast plugin to fix, but not really seeing anything in the Yoast tools. I also see 301 redirects mentioned as a solution but the tag pages will be changing as we add new articles and they have a purpose so not really seeing that as a solution.

Should i not use hyphens in web page titles? Google Penalty for hyphens?
all the page titles in my site have hyphens between the words like this: http://texas.com/texas-plumbers.html I have seen tests where hyphenated domain names ranked lower than non hyphenated domain names. Does this mean my pages are being penalized for hyphens or is this only in the domain that it is penalized? If I create new pages should I not use hyphens in the page titles when there are two or more words in the title? If I changed all my page titles to eliminate the hyphens, I would lose all my rankings correct? My site is 12 years old and if I changed all these titles I'm guessing that each page would be thrown in the google sandbox for several months, is this true? Thanks mozzers!

Google result showing old Meta Title / Description even though page view source shows new info.
Hey guys! I'm struggling with why Google is ignoring my Meta Title / Description. I made a pretty drastic change to both about a week ago and on the results it hasn't changed. I'm on first page with several keywords and I think this weird caching is hurting me on where I'm at on the page. Thoughts / Ideas?

Page Title Optimization
I am reviewing the optimization on my site and it appears that my page titles follow this method: PAGE_NAME | KEYWORD in CITY ST - COMPANY_NAME I am pretty well optimized for "KEYWORD in CITY ST" but am wondering if I should drop it from all page titles except for the pages that actually deal with that keyword. What are your thoughts on optimizing?

How will engines deal with duplicate head elements e.g. title or canonicals?
Obviously duplicate content is never a good thing...on separate URL's. Question is, how will the engines deal with duplicate meta tags on the same page. Example Head Tag: <title>Example Title - #1</title> <title>Example Title - #2</title> My assumption is that Google (and others) will take the first instance of the tag, such that "Example Title - #1" and canonical = "http://www.example.com" would be considered for ranking purposes while the others are disregarded. My assumption is based on how SE's deal with duplicate links on a page. Is this a correct assumption? We're building a CMS-like service that will allow our SEO team to change head tag content on the fly. The easiest solution, from a dev perspective, is to simply place new/updated content above the preexisting elements. I'm trying to validate/invalidate the approach. Thanks in advance.

Suggestions For My Ecommerce Site
I am starting to work on an ecommerce site that I am part owner of. My partner who is the other owner started the site a while back and because he has no internet marketing experience the site didn't come out very well. I am currently overhauling the site and here is a list of things first on my list so I can at least get started on some seo and even ppc. I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at our store and see if you think I am missing anything or you could suggest anything else that really should be done immediately or something that is wrong. The site is www.clubfitnesswarehouse.com Update magento to newest version Fix url structure to be SEO friendly for homepage, category pages, product pages etc. For an example of a site that has great seo friendly urls please refer to examples on http://www.bigfitness.com/ site. For example these pages. http://www.bigfitness.com/treadmillstore.html , http://www.bigfitness.com/bosplincy.html , Remove top navigation menu and instead create left sidebar navigation menu created to navigate site and products. For example of these types of sidebars please refer to sidebar on http://www.bigfitness.com/ or http://www.americanfitness.net/ We will NOT be using same structure as what is in top navigation currently. Categories and keywords of categories will be changed and some will stay the same structure as is currently in navigation For header we would like to feature our shipping policy, returns, privacy policy, no sales tax etc. For example I have seen that I like refer to http://www.spiderofficechairs.com/ Obviously we do not want to copy but something similar for our own site. All images on homepage must be changed to include clickable txt so google can read text not just pictures. We would also like product pages modified to make more user friendly and conversion increased. Add to cart button needs to be changed, text needs to be brighter instead of dull grey color. Add to cart button must also be moved ABOVE THE FOLD! Also on product pages we would like to add sections in addition to Product Description, of Specs, and About section for each product page. We also need the ability to change this information as needed when we need to.
