          I just have checked on some of the keyword I am ranking for and found in the serp that next to the post I have also the site name. But I thought that I have remove it.

          Does somebody know how to remove it? perhaps I did not do it correctly. I am also using yoast seo plugin but I do not have it set there to show the site name after posts name.

          Can somebody help me to fix this please?

          I have also attached an image from the serp where is behind the post title also Villas Diani-the site name

          Thank you very much!

                You can also try the 'Force rewrite titles' option in the Yoast settings. Sometimes this can help to remove unwanted site names from the title.

                  Hi Iris,

                  You can check the page source of the page you are looking at (right click and view source) and if the title tag near the top has the name of the site at the end then yes obviously it is being put in there by some setting and you can follow what Free Range has said below. I looked at a couple of your pages and did not see this, so it looks at first glance that your setup is ok and that the site name is being put in by google.

                      No Don't remove it. Don't worry about general settings, just add a new title in SEO Title every time

                        Oh I see, so I input the title into each post. Thank you so much!

                        And then in general settings for post types in title templates for post and pages I have this %%title%%  should I remove it? I am afraid if I write a title into each post and will still keep this  in templates it will create 2 titles perhaps?

                            Thank you very much Lynn, I have read the article just now. Well if it so that google rewrite it I have no problem with it. But is there a way I can check if I do not have some setting somewhere on site which does this?

                              Thank you very much, but I am not sure if I understand you correctly. What do you exactly mean I should do and where in the yoast plugin?

                              In post titles in the plugin I have set to show only the post name.

                                Just change the SEO title in the Yoast plugin. This will get rid of the site name at the end.

                                I just cut and paste the title into the SEO Title to overwrite it

                                  Hi,

                                  It i probably google deciding to rewrite the titles for you, Yoast himself makes a mention of it here: http://yoast.com/google-page-title/ In short, not much you can do about it.

                                    Hi, We currently have a UK-focused site on www.palmatin.com ; We're now targeting the North American market as well, but the contents of the site need to be different from UK. One option was to create another domain for the NA market but I assume it would be easier to rank with palmatin.com though. What would you suggest to do, if a company is targeting two different countries in the same language? thanks, jaan

                                    Website organic traffic unchanged, impressions took a 98% drop in the last week.

                                    Hi all, I have a very curious predicament and I'd be grateful if someone could shed some light on the situation. As mentioned in the title, organic traffic to our website has remained unchanged, but organic impressions have taken a 98% drop in the last week. This happened suddenly over one day; on October 22, impressions were 700, on October 23, they were 500, and on October 24 they drastically dropped to 50. The next two days they were at 22 and then up to 35. Organic traffic, however, showed the normal "weekend drop" as of October 24, and is still showing normal level (even increased a bit) continuing into this week. These are organic impressions according to Google Analytics and Google Webmaster tools. We did perform a complete site redesign a month ago. Could this be an effect from the redesign? We also noticed drop in Domain Authority, but our competitors suffered a similar (if not greater) drop as well, so we wondered if it could be due in part to the algorithm update. If anyone could shed some light on the situation I would be so appreciative! Thanks!

                                    Duplicate content on websites for multiple countries

                                    I have a client who has a website for their U.S. based customers. They are currently adding a Canadian dealer and would like a second website with much of the same info as their current website, but with Canadian contact info etc. What is the best way to do this without creating duplicate content that will get us penalized? If we create a website at ABCcompany.com and ABCCompany.ca or something like that, will that get us around the duplicate content penalty?

                                    3 Brands, 3 Services, 3 Different Websites Right?

                                    My client was told that having 1 website for 3 different brands/services is better than having 3 websites. I need your help to prove my value to a new client.  This client has worked with Reach Local on PPC for some time and when they first got started the Reach Local Markering Consultant told this cleint that they needed to have one site for better SEO purposes. The client was told that Google ranks websites higher if they have more paid traffic going to them.  I've been doing this for long enough to realize this does not help ranking, at least not enough to make a difference. Keep in mind this is for 3 different companies.  One company does plumbing, another electrical and the last one does air conditioning.  They also have  4 locations but only two locations have mutliple services opperating out of them.  I understand these 2 location will not have there own Google+ Local / Places listing.  Using the same address for 2 different business and expecting a first page ranking is just not possible. Right now when you visit the clients website you see a logo that rotates with a banner section that follows the logo rotation.  First you see the AC Company and then the Plumbing etc.  I see this as confusing to the end user and it is more work to get it ranked for SEO.  I recommended that we build 3 speerate websites for each service and just list out all the addresses that the company services on the contact page.  I would also design inside the footer links to the other services for branding purposes. Please share your thoughts on how you would handle this if you were doing the SEO for your own 3 different business services. I really appreicate any input/insight to this.  Thank you so much in advance!!!!

                                    I need to built a multi language site (to built a Pilates, Yoga site) and I will use a site builder. After posting questions on wix.com I came to the fact I should continue my research because there are not SEO friendly. Do you have a suggestions? Limited to html knowledge, using a website builder is my only option. Here are some of the features I need: Multilanguage Web Site Mobile version SEO Friendly Nice Template Selections( this is important) HTML customization Twitter, Facebook, Blog... I'm not looking at free website builder, when you want good features, there is a price to paid. Thank you for your help and suggestions, BigBlaze

                                    Where is the best place to put reciprocal links on our website?

                                    Where should reciprocal links be placed on our website?  Should we create a "Resources" page?  Should the page be "hidden" from the public?  I know there is a right answer out there!  Thank you for your help! Jay
