Would you advise or not to include a sites name at the end of each title tage? Example "Top 3 things to do in New York | yoursite.com"

Having a discussion on if we should include our domain at the end of each site page.
Re read over the following pages and question remove the brand to keep under 70 characters? or Shorten the page Title before the brand? Let the title exceed 70 characters?
What is your thoughts?

Moosa and co.
Thanks. Our Domain is also our brand minus the .com so we have been adding the .com.
Our CMS has been auto adding to all page titles since day 1 and we are now looking to change this practice.
Thanks again and welcome any other suggestions.

that's what i said.. it should display when someone search for you in the search engine.
I think format can be different from website to website... for blog using this in the post will not really a good idea but if you are a service website with 15 to 20 pages that its great to use it on all pages.... where as with eCommerce the scenario is different...

Hi moosa i am agree with you, but if we want to use our site name for branding then we have to display it in SERP and for that we have to use it before 70 chars ends. don't think so that in every page we should add our site-name. We can add it in our most viewable pages.

I don’t believe on 70 characters theory anymore as Google is looking for pixels and title space that appears in search results is more depends upon pixels...
I think adding a company name (not URL) at the end of the title is great but it should appear in the search results... i don’t see any great SEO value out of it but it is surly great from the branding point of view...

Hi,
If you want to add your site name into page title then it is not a bad practice, you can add your site name as your brand name. SERP snippets displayed on 70 char so if you want to see your site name then you have to set your title within 70 char. If you want to make your title more than 70 char then you have to put your main keywords first. Page titles should be descriptive and concise and Brand your titles, but concisely. I have make my title Like

Hi Harley2g,
Instead of the domain at the end of each title tag, I would just put the company (or website) name.
For example:
Keyword 1 | Keyword 2 | Company Name
I wouldn't put the ".com" at the end of the title tags.

Schema markup for products is missing "price": Is this bad?
Hey guys, So a current client of mine has an e-commerce shop with a few hundred products. They purposely choose to keep the prices off of their website, which is causing errors in Google Webmaster Tools. Basically the error shows: Error: Structured Data > Product (markup: schema.org) Error type: missing price 208 items with error Is this a huge deal? Or are we allowed to have non-numerical prices for schema ie. "call for quote"

Image Height/Width attributes, how important are they and should a best practice site include this as std
Hi How important are the image height/width attributes and would you expect a best practice site to have them included ? I hear not having them can slow down a page load time is that correct ? Any other issues from not having them ? I know some re social sharing (i know bufferapp prefers images with h/w attributes to draw into their selection of image options when you post) Most importantly though would you expect them to be intrinsic to sites that have been designed according to best practice guidelines ? Thanks

Is possible to reutilize products description taken from mydomain.com in a ecommerce site?
My issue is related with cross-domain duplicate content. In the first domain (aaa.com) I have 30-40 products well described with lots of content (story, description, features, technical sheets etc). This is my primary, brand domain. I want to open an e-commerce in another domain (bbb.com) where I will sell all the products that reside in aaa.com domain. If I'm going to use the content (taken from aaa.com) for describing e-commerce products in the bbb.com domain could it be seen as duplicate content? What do you suggest? It would be a hell to rewrite all the products description and even worse, technical sheets and features/characteristics can't be written differently. Thanks in advace

"Daily Special" = Duplicate Content?
I believe this has been addresses and answered previously, but despite searching the Q&A archives, I was unable to find the question and answer. So, please be gentle and patient: We have an eCommerce site with several hundred products, most of which use the structure: www.mysite.com/subcategory/itemA.html. We wish to feature itemA as a "daily special" item, and our Magento developer has recommended: www.mysite.com/internet-daily-special/**itemA.html ** Because itemA.html is the same page—albeit following a different path—will Google see this as duplicate content? Thanks.

301 Redirect for 3 Domains into 1 New Domain
So I wanted a quick sanity check on the htaccess syntax for migrating 3 domains into 1 new domain. For example, we're migrating 3 sites abc.com, def.com and ghi.com, all into 1 new site on ghi.com. Here's the htaccess we're placing on the root of ghi.com: redirect 301 http://www.abc.com/wines.html http://www.ghi.com/wines redirect 301 http://www.def.com/trade.html http://www.ghi.com/trade

redirect 301 http://www.ghi.com/winery-tours.html http://www.ghi.com/visit/taste On the DNS side of things, we're parking abc.com and def.com on the ghi.com server. I'm not seeing examples of htaccess files for this scenario, and none that use any domain info on the "from" side of the redirect 301 syntax. Any suggestions before we pull the trigger? Thanks!0 -
