The first 5 or what? How many words in page title = revelancy for onpage seo?
-
I don't know I. I don't have a description.
-
It depends whats in the content of the page. All words will count, but as some others have said you could be diluting by putting too many in there.
Don't stuff, make it readable, make it likeable (from a customers perspective) and choose your title carefully.
Make sure it is relevent to the page content, otherwise you are taking 2 steps backwards.
Keep it to one or two main keywords per page.
-
Keyword - brand
or
Brand - Keyworddont keyword stuff, also i believe that your keyword is diluted if you have too many words. if your keyword is 2 words and the title is 3 words, then you are using 66% of the toitle, if you have 10 words then you are only using 20%. Keep it short
Having a long spamminfg title will not help you get conversions either. People like a nice neat to the point title to click on. -
I personally use only the first 2-3 words in the title tag for on-page optimization. After that the keywords are to diluted to count - but this will depend a lot on the competition, content and other signals. I usually use the first 2-3 and the rest is 100% for users to increase navigation feel and CTR not for engines.
There are cases I use deliberately titles longer then 70 chr if the user will benefit from that title.
I am also 100% against a keyword metatag like flow within title: keyword1, keyword2, keyword 3 and so on.
Anyway, is just an opinion.

You only want no more than 70 characters. You also want a meta description, keyword aren't really useful.

On Page Grade Reports - Which to optimize first?
I'm wanting to prioritize my on-page optimization efforts by doing the work that will have the most impact first. Let's say, hypothetically, that this was my on-page report card: Grade A - 60 reports
On-Page Optimization | | justin-brock
Grade B - 20 reports
Grade C - 70 reports
Grade D - 70 reports
Grade F - 300 reports Where is the biggest opportunity for increasing good traffic? Doing more work on Grade A pages to ensure I continue to rank Moving mid-grade pages up to high-grade pages (e.g., raising a B to A, or a C to B) Moving low-grade pages up to mid-grade pages (e.g., raising a D to C, or a F to D)0 -
Search Pages outranking Product Pages
A lot of the results seen in the search engines for our site are pages from our search results on our site, i.e. Widgets | Search Results This has happened over time and wasn't intentional, but in many cases we see our search results pages appearing over our actual product pages in search, which isn't ideal. Simply blocking indexing of these pages via robots wouldn't be ideal, at least all at once as we would have that period of time where those Search Results pages would be offline and our product pages would still be at the back of ranking. Any ideas on a strategy to replace these Search Results with the actual products in a way that won't hurt us too bad during the transition? Or a way to make the actual product pages rank above the search results? Currently, it is often the opposite. Thanks! Craig

Please review page for on page SEO
I'm working on an adult dating site review blog and am hoping to build links to the category pages. It's a wordpress blog so the posts are categorised by topics. However can you tell me if there is enough content on the page for google to identify what the page is about? The problem is that the content of each category pages is pulled from the posts. What I think is needed is some static text on the page 2-300 words that use the keyword. Here's an example of a page targeting the keywords 'online dating'. http://www.top-10-dating-reviews.com/category/online-dating/

Opinions please on Duplicate page titles & too many on-page links warnings.-
Hello folks, I'm a total SEO newbe but totally enjoying
On-Page Optimization | | CSC
using SEOmoz to learn more. We have ecommerce sites and the 1st crawl flags – as appears typical too many on-page links. We display up to 20 products (each with three links!)
and I’m trying to push to have fewer but meeting resistance from colleagues.
We have links duplicated all over the site believing it eases navigation. My question is just how critical is the number of products displayed
and the resulting volume of links to SEO results? Also we currently have collections of products displayed
across several pages which of course have the same page title and this is flagged
as a duplication error. I wonder if product auto-scrolling help as this means only a certain number of products are displayed at one time on one page thus reducing links and the need for duplicate page titles? My superiors are resisting change (perhaps nervous of spoiling
what already works) and I need to know where to direct my persuasive powers! Many thanks in anticipation, Spence0 -
E-Commerce product pages that have multiple skus with unique pages.
Hey Guys, With the recent farm/panda update from google i'm at a cross roads as to how I should optimize product pages for a project i'm working on for a client. My client sells tires and one particular tire brand can have up to 15 models and each model can have up to 30 sizes. IE: 'Michelin Pilot Sport Cup' comes in 15 different sizes. Each size will have it's unique product page and description bringing me to my question. Should I use the same description on every size? I do plan on writting unique content for each tire model however i'm not sure if I should do it for every size. After all the tire model description is the same for every size, each size doesn't carry any unique characteristics that I can describe. Thanks in advance!
