Questions about putting 2-3 keywords in title tag.
-
Hi there,
what is the best way to decide the keywords to be used in title tag?
-
Para nosotros no hay duda: cada título debe ser único y potenciar una única palabra clave. Sin embargo, la originalidad del SEO que optimiza el contenido se encuentra en la capacidad de incluir términos relacionados que compongan diferentes palabras claves que permitan abarcar lo que denominamos la "concordancia amplia" de términos.
Por ejemplo, nosotros establecemos en las fichas de productos "Palabra Clave + Precio (en euros) + [Precio 2023]. Esto nos permite abarcar palabras claves como esta:
Whill Model C2
Optimizar la ficha de esta forma nos permite abarcar las siguientes palabras claves:- Silla Whill Model C2
- Silla Whill Model C2 precio
- Precio 2023 whill model c2
- Mejor precio whill model c2 2023
Interesante debate, espero que te aporten mi planteamiento.

The short answer is: simply use the keywords with the highest volume. But there can be many pitfalls and details which can affect the CTR on the SERP. I love this guide where they tell about them with examples: https://rush-analytics.com/blog/title-of-a-website-optimize-like-a-pro

Identify main topics: Let's say your page is about yoga. Your main topics could be "yoga for beginners" and "yoga poses."
Use keyword research: Using a tool like Google Keyword Planner, you might find that "yoga for flexibility" and "yoga for stress relief" are popular related keywords.
Choose relevant and specific keywords: For a title tag, you might choose "Yoga for Beginners: Poses for Flexibility and Stress Relief" to accurately describe your content.
Keep your title tag short: The example title tag is 58 characters, which is within the recommended 60-character limit.
Avoid keyword stuffing: Don't try to cram too many keywords into your title tag. Instead, use them in a way that accurately describes your content and helps potential visitors find your page.

Optimizing your title tags is one of the easiest ways to help improve your rankings on Google. They signal to Google what your page is about. Keep titles around 60 characters.
Avoid typing your title in all caps. Uppercase letters take up extra space and could cause your title to get cut off.
Remove your brand name unless it’s necessary
Use symbols to save space (i.e., “&” instead of “and”)Stuffing lots of keywords into a single page title can hurt that page's rankings. And it can also confuse users, making them less likely to click through to your page.
Keep the title tag readable and simple. There are some websites showing title tag score and seo score . You may use those services. Some are free too.
Hope this helps,
Thanks, Yoglica -
The title tag is an important part of SEO, and including 2-3 keywords in the title tag can help your website rank higher in search engine results. It is important to make sure that the keywords you choose are relevant to the content of the page, and that they are used in a natural way that makes sense to readers. Additionally, it is important to keep the title tag concise and to the point, as search engines may truncate titles that are too long.

@lucybish said in Questions about putting 2-3 keywords in title tag.:
what is the best way to decide the keywords to be used in title tag?
When deciding on keywords to use in the title tag, it's important to consider the relevance and search volume of the keywords. The title tag is one of the most important on-page SEO factors, as it tells search engines and users what the page is about. Therefore, it's important to include keywords that accurately and effectively describe the content of the page. Additionally, it's also a good idea to consider the competition for the keywords and target long-tail keywords that are less competitive. Finally, it's important to make sure that the title tag is compelling and will entice users to click on the link.

@lucybish the key words should be recognize through the body title is one of the important point for the keywords but it is not enough for keywords
also please clear your question do you need to use two keywords in a page or you need to recognize them on a page?

Value of using spaces or no spaces on product category page varient keywords
Hello, all fellow Mozzers,
On-Page Optimization | | JamesDavison
I have taken over a project and this account, so can't change the username according to MOZ.🙃 We run an eCommerce website, and to me, some of the content is conflicting as some pages have more information content than what I would put in a commerce page, but this is how the boss wants it to work, personally, I would separate the content out.
The page I'm working on:
https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/205-70-14.html
and this is an example of the rest of these types of pages, I will be tackling:
https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/125-15.html I was tasked to improve SEO ranking, when using the MOZ page grader I had a score of 24 out of 27 83% SEO score and 3-page problems. 7th position in Google for the search term 205/70 R14 As it is a generic product listing page, It was pointless to add to the URL and the Internal links I can't reduce as these are links to products, so I went to reduce the
keyword stuffing and making the page content more natural, this improved the page to 25 out of 27, 87% SEO score and 2-page problems. Improvement to 3rd position in Google, but he wants to chase 1st place to be above his competitors, which is fair enough. It turns out that in the past, they have used this type of page to try and get a high ranking for several search terms, as it is a different variation on a tyre size terms are:
205/70 R14, 205/70R14, 205/70 R 14
205/70 X 14, 205/70X14, 205/70 X14
and so on for all the different ways you can search for this tyre size. He is also convinced Google will see these as different search terms, and while I agree to an extent, this causes Keyword Stuffing on the page, which in turn was harming the rankings. Each product listed on the page already has its own title 205/70 R14, 205/70 HR14 and so on, so my question is. What is the best practice for writing content on these types of pages to gain high rankings for several Keywords, and what value does writing the same keyword with spaces and no spaces have? Any help or advice is welcome, so I have a better understanding of how to approach this for this page and the rest of the site. Cheers Mal0 -
Have Your Thoughts Changed Regarding Canonical Tag Best Practice for Pagination? - Google Ignoring rel= Next/Prev Tagging
Hi there, We have a good-sized eCommerce client that is gearing up for a relaunch. At this point, the staging site follows the previous best practice for pagination (self-referencing canonical tags on each page; rel=next & prev tags referencing the last and next page within the category). Knowing that Google does not support rel=next/prev tags, does that change your thoughts for how to set up canonical tags within a paginated product category? We have some categories that have 500-600 products so creating and canonicalizing to a 'view all' page is not ideal for us. That leaves us with the following options (feel it is worth noting that we are leaving rel=next / prev tags in place): Leave canonical tags as-is, page 2 of the product category will have a canonical tag referencing ?page=2 URL Reference Page 1 of product category on all pages within the category series, page 2 of product category would have canonical tag referencing page 1 (/category/) - this is admittedly what I am leaning toward. Any and all thoughts are appreciated! If this were in relation to an existing website that is not experiencing indexing issues, I wouldn't worry about these. Given we are launching a new site, now is the time to make such a change. Thank you! Joe

Question Mark In URL??
So I am looking at a site for a client, and I think I already have my answer, but wanted to check with you guys. First off the site is in FLASH and HTML. I told the client to dump the flash site, but she isn't willing right now. So the URLS are generated like this. Flash: http://www.mysite.com/#/page/7ca2/wedding-pricing/ HTML: http://www.mysite.com/?/page/7ca2/wedding-pricing/ checking the site in Google with a site:mysite, none of the interior pages are indexed at all. So that is telling me that Google is pretty much ignoring everything past the # or ?. Is that correct? My recommendation is to dump the flash site and redo the URLS in a SEo friendly format.

Other tags inside an H1 tag
So I have a situation with the website I'm currently redesigning where the H1 titles are supposed to mix colors per the current brand strategy. The branding crew is adamant that this has to be done so there is no use in saying "just don't do it". To accomplish this I'm wrapping the words that need to be the other color in a . Additionally, some pages have a "sub text" as part of the title, floated to the right and in a smaller font but with the same multi color treatment. I'm wondering if the sub text should be in an H2 and positioned to the right or if it would be beneficial to have the text in the H1 as well. An example of what I'm talking about would be something like this: "Big Shoes for Big Guys - Nike Shoes" In that, the "Big Shoes" and "Nike" would be one color and the "for Big Guys" and "Shoes" would be another. I can imagine having the "Nike Shoes" as part of the H1 would be a good idea in some respect but I'm not certain of that. In order to make that happen I can only think of one way to do it: -H1-
Web Design | | EscaladeSports
Big Shoes
-span- for Big Guys -/span-
-div- Nike
-span- Shoes -/span-
-/div-
-/H1- So that brings me back to the original concern, do search engines care about tags inside the H1? The only other way to accomplish the color changes that I can think of would be to have a fairly large chunk of javascript setup to go through H1's to colorize them using the span tags. That is unless GoogleBot has started to execute javascript while crawling the sites now...1 -
Question on Breadcrumb and Canonical
Hi SEOmozers, I have another question. =] Thanks in advance. First question: How important is the breadcrumb for SEO? I know that breadcrumb makes better UX because it shows how the visitor landed on this page and the breadcrumb may show up in the search engine. But other than that, how important is it? Second Question: If I have a page that can be found via 2 locations, how should I handle this in regards to breadcrumb? For example, I have page A. You can access page A via Category A and Category B. Therefore, what I did was list Page A under Category A and when someone visit Category B and click on Page A, it will redirect to the page A that was found via Category A. The problem is on page A, the breadcrumb is Home > Category A > Page A. So if someone visit Category B and click on Page A, it redirects and the breadcrumb shows Home > Category A > Page A. What should I do with the breadcrumb for Category B > Page A? Should I create another page A and just use canonical on it? Should I create another page A but do not index it? or leave it as is? 1 Page A, can be access via 2 categories. Please advise. Thank you!

How to put 'Link to this article' HTML code at bottom of article & is it helpful?
Hello, I was thinking about putting a box down at the bottom of my client's main articles that let's the reader easily copy the html code it takes to link to the article they're reading. Maybe I'd put it after the author bio. Do any of you do this? If so, what format do you use? It has to look nice of course. This is a non-techie industry. Thanks.

How do search engines interpret <hgroup>...</hgroup> tags?
Hi there. I'm building an HTML 5 site and through research of new HTML 5 elements I've seen little conclusive information about the interpretation of the new <hgroup>tag, in terms of SEO application and interpretation. In particular does Google interpret the nested heading tags as individual elements or does it combine them into one entity? For example, say I have: <hgroup> # Article Heading ## Article Sub-heading </hgroup> How is this interpreted by Google and what would be some good SEO best practices regarding the <hgroup>tag in HTML5: Is it interpretted as a single tag (" Article Heading: Article Sub-heading ") or two separate heading tags (one and one )? Also, how much does the ordering of the tags matter (say for example I wanted something like the following for visual purposes? <hgroup> ## Article Sub-heading # Article Heading </hgroup> One last thing: is it safe to assume that it is indeed OK to have multiple tags on a single page (as referenced by Matt Cutts a while back in a Webmaster Video)? Thanks! </hgroup> </hgroup>
