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.

Apologies if this question has been asked a million times, but I can't find it. I have 35 pages, yet only 5 of them have generated On Page Optimization Reports. I know I can create them manually, but wondered if I've done something incorrectly? Iain.

Does concatenating two words make them lose their SEO value
I'm working with a client whose product titles are things like "InternetSecurity" and for branding purposes has thus far required any reference to the products be concatenated in this fashion (on page, links, URL, title tags). It seems to me that would greatly reduce their SEO relevance. Any thoughts? Thanks, Mark

Title, other html tags not showing on onpage reports
Either something is seriously wrong with my website or seomoz is not analyzing my site correctly. When I view the source code for my site (www.myfavoritetoys.com) I clearly see elements such as page title, h1 tags etc. However, on the onpage reports seomoz says these elements are missing. I am not seeing any meaningful data in the reports because it isn't analyzing correctly. Please help!
