I often see keyword stuffed titles ranking well in the SERPs, which of course is great, but I bet their CTR is much lower than it could be with a well written title tag!

Another one I would add is to try and mould your titles so that they have a few exact match phrases in them, for example…

“Blue Widgets | Cheap Blue Widget Deals Online Today!”

Has both “blue widgets cheap” and “cheap blue widgets” in. Obviously this isn’t the best example but it illustrates my point and I feel it is an easy to implement tip that is often overlooked

But my thinking is that if there are people scanning down the results then what are they going to find more appealing: a well-written title & concise snippet, or a title & snippet that doesn’t read or look well because it’s really nothing more than a long comma separated list of keywords?

If positions in the organic results were paid for, I bet you’d see webmasters caring a lot more about titles. ;)

If you have to make it bigger make it cut off nicely at 66 chars. Yahoo displays 120 chars.

However, you will see pages ranking for phrases outside 70 chars so to what extent is this curtailing hurting you? Perhaps not at all, but perhaps otherwise.

In fact, repeating the same phrase over and over on a single page could end with you getting penalised for being over optimised.

@Luke Eales & Ben McKay – I agree, in my opinion it’s now much less about keyword density and more about semantic relevancy. Anyway, why would you want to optimise a single page for just a single phrase like ‘blue widgets’ when you could get it ranking for lots of other related phrases like ‘cheap blue widget’ and ‘light blue mens widget’? That’s the problem with an approach like this: you can end up creating lots of content that actually has very little inherent value that nobody will ever link to, is obviously designed to rank and at the heels of the hunt runs the risk of getting slapped with one of Google’s infamous OOPs.

SEO should give at least some attention to the fact that your SERP result is in fact an advertisement, and it should be adjusted to get the best result.

I think it’s an interesting idea to control the topic of your page in such a way that it has a very narrow focus. However, if that is the case, then what about your index/home page? If your site is fractured into narrowly focused sections, how do you fragement your visitors without diluting your keyword relevance?
