Welcome to the Q&A Forum

No problem. Although, I've just noticed that since the re-brand Moz actually uses hyphens now instead of v-bars. Perhaps you can read something into that? But probably not.

For general usability and brand consistency it is best to implement the same title system across all pages.

Hi Joel,

We have exactly the same problem with our EMD site. It's a fine line between phrase targeting and keyword stuffing. (especially when you see stuffing doing well in the SERPS!)

We have found that the URL is quite a strong indicator to google so if your keywords are in there, then the title doesn't need to be too keyword heavy, which I think your suggested example is.

It may also be worth considering putting your brand name into your titles just like Moz do: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Amoz&oq=site%3Amoz&aqs=chrome.0.57l2j58j59l2j60.1582j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#safe=off&sclient=psy-ab&q=site:moz.com&oq=site:moz.com&gs_l=serp.3...1015.1455.0.1619.4.4.0.0.0.0.106.400.1j3.4.0...0.0.0..1c.1.17.psy-ab.gdYtgeZmNoQ&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47883778,d.ZG4&fp=b708dfac7b585b5e&biw=1360&bih=667

Hope this helps.

We've seen around a 25% drop in Google referral traffic from the 14th July 2014 onwards and having real trouble identifying why and from what search terms we're being effected. WMT and Moz Pro don't show any movement. Is anyone else seeing the same thing on UK search terms?

Seems a bit late to be the effect of Panda 4.0?

Any help would be amazing.

Thanks.

Thanks Andrew!

I was being a bit blind there - good spot.

Hi Robert,

In my experience, going for responsive design is always the best option. m. sites can work but they don't make sense is responsive is an option.

Take a look here in regards to your canonical query: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/smartphone-sites/details

Let me know if that helps!

wow that excellent if your domain is ranking so early in its development. That probably shows that you really should avoid the risk of any keyword stuffing, as your domain and your content will do the work for you!

As far as I know the meta desc is roughly 155 characters but it's not always set in stone. It may be that Moz adds this ellipsis in order to limit a meta desc truncating mid-word.
