I have just had a conversation with a client... the gist was this...

Is it more important to stay under the 55-60 characters OR go over a bit and have the page title make sense and include the clients company name.

The same argument for meta description. I have a client insisting on 55-60 length but the keywords are long and if we use the primary keyword phrase the length is 44 if we use the keyword phrase and add the company name it becomes 64. This is with us trimming it a bit.

Anyone else discussed this before?

Hello,

The search engines have indexed a sub-domain I did not want indexed its on

old.domain.com and dev.domain.com - I was going to password them but is there a best practice way to block them.

My main domain default robots.txt says :-

Sitemap: http://www.domain.com/sitemap.xml
