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.

Titling and H1 Tag Question
What to do if you have hundreds of thousands of a particular product. Comic Books for example. Is it ok to have the words Comic Book in the title and H1 tag as long as it is qualified? For example, if I have the following as both the Title tag and the H1 tag. Comic Book - Spider Man Versus Wolverine Comic Book - Silver Surfer Goes Home to Visit Mom. Comic Book - Superman Gets a New Kitten Comic Book - Wonder Woman is More Wonderful Than You Know As of now, I have been doing it this way, but only in the title tag. However, Google has been using my H1 tag as my title, so in the search results, I am only getting: "Superman Gets a New Kitten" And I am afraid that that is leaving out important info for searchers, especially qualifying that the product is a Comic Book and if someone is searching for a Comic Book, I need that to return. But I don't want any 'more' trouble from the Panda. Again, this will be hundreds of thousands of products. Thanks for your help! Craig

How to increase SERP for long tail keywords?
Let me describe my situation. I currently run an e-commerce site that aggregates items across various e-commerce website. I am focusing my SEO on the long tail keywords such that when user searches for 'hermes birkin bag croco black' and other specific item search, then the page that I have on my site pops up. What are some tips on increasing this kind of stuff in a general sense such that I don't have to go through all of my 10,000 items that I have in my site and optimize each and every page for keywords. Right now what I am thinking is to increase the domain authority of the overall site. Any other tips?

Forcing keywords into domain structure
Hi there, Over the last few years, I've seen people structuring their site so that their main content is all housed in a folder named after the site's primary keywords. For example, if I had some content about home insurance, normally naming conventions state that I might put the content at a URL such as: www.mydomain.com/home-insurance However, some sites, may change this structure to include their main keyword again in the URL string: www.mydomain.com/insurance/home-insurance The folder 'insurance' would normally hold the site's Sitemap to increase internal linking strategy too. I'd be really interested to hear whether anyone has seen any serious benefits from re-structuring their site in this way? What are your thoughts on this? Thanks,
