Title Tag Optimization Tips
Title tag is the most important of all the tags and has the highest on page optimization value and your rankings highly depend on your title tag. After link popularity Title tag is the most important factor that can affect your rankings in search engines. A well written and optimized Title is the key to success.
Making an optimized and effective Title tag is not that difficult than you are thinking actually its a very simple thing. You just have to develop a crisply written and well optimized Title for your website that is not so difficult.
Example of how Title looks:
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Search Engine Optimization Firm India</TITLE>
</HEAD>
Since this tag plays a vital role in determining your site’s ranking in the search engines, title tag optimization for each page is necessary and I will highly recommend to pay a lot of attention to the words that appear in this tag and the order in which they appear. You need to develop a crisply worded title tag that includes your most relevant keyword phrases and performs the function of announcing the summary of your web page’s content.
Your title tag should be enticing and should attract people rather than filling your title tag with keywords use a title that makes some sense and is appealing to your visitors to go through and should also use some of your most important keywords and phrases.

How to Optimize Title Tag ?
It is better to place your service or products in short descriptive sentences in such a way that your title contains your most important keywords (60 characters is recommended) rather than placing your company/domain name. This is because most Internet users search for specific products or services, not company names. But if you strongly feel like placing your company name in your title tag, then place it at the end of this tag.
Remember that nobody will be searching for your company name till you are very popular in your business but those people would be looking for the services you offer. So make sure that you take a look at the following tips while writing a Title for your website.

Following are some tips that will help you to create a fully optimized yet enticing Title:
•Use your most important keywords first in the Title tag and use less important ones after that. As an example suppose my primary keywords are: seo firm, seo company and seo services and which seo company is the most important of them all then I will use something like:

<TITLE>SEO Company, SEO Firm and SEO Services</TITLE>
•Try to target not more than 3-4 keywords in the Title Tag exceeding this limit will dilute your keywords and thus can decrease the ranking value of the keywords in the tag.
•Make a Title Tag that talks to your targeted traffic rather than filling it with keywords, use a tag that appeals to your visitors but still presents your important keywords. As an example:

<TITLE>Search Engine Optimization Services In India</TITLE>

In the above tag I used my primary keywords - search engine optimization, search engine optimization services and search engine optimization India, but still it looks enticing.
•Consider using both singular and plural forms of the important words in your Title Tag. For instance, you may use both ‘service' and ‘services' while making the Title Tag. But make sure that you do not overdo it.
•Title Tag length: Google usually reads about 62 characters of your Title Tag. Therefore, a Title Tag of about 50-62 characters is good enough. However you can use more for the other search engines because different search engines have different limits.
•Avoid using the same Title Tag throughout your site. Try using a unique Title Tag for each web page and use keyword phrases that holds theme relevance to that page. You also get to leverage more keyword phrases if you individualize the Title Tag in all pages.
