How long should the title be?

Have you ever thought of  the importance of the ‘Title’ tag on your web-pages? It is the one of the most important on-page factors that can assist you in getting a good ranking on Google and other search engines.

For the lesser mortals who do not have any interest in technology, ‘Title’ corresponds to what you see on your browser while visiting a website. So, for instance, in case of our site, you will see

“Seo India | Seo Company India | How Long should the Title be?”

This corresponds to the title of our blog.

It is quite simple actually, and forms the fundamentals of a good SEO campaign. I simply hate sites that have ‘Welcome’ as the ‘Title’. More than the website owner, it reflects poorly, infact very poorly, on the people who designed the website.

Now, if you visit Google or Yahoo, and search for any site then the first thing that you will see on the results page of Google or Yahoo is the Title of your website. So, you can imagine very well the importance of having a good and descriptive title to your website.

Normally, as a benchmark rule, we will let the ‘Title’ stay under 65 characters at all times. If you have a longer title, it becomes unreadable for the Google Bot and therefore it loses any significant chance of being read and ranked by the search engines.

So, the next time whenever you are putting up a new site, make sure that you design your site and lay an equal emphasis on the length and content of your title tags.
