          i would like to ask if it is a good practice or not to Include Site Name in Page Titles.

          My page is not selling products it is about plagiarism checker tool. i will give one example in one page we are writing about the plagiarism types so the page title is plagiarism types and then is the site name.

          what is the better practice? Keep it or not?

          thanks in advance

            Hi,

            Optimizing the Title Tag is a very important aspect of your On-Page SEO, But you have only 60 characters to be used, that's why I prefer not to in include my website name in the title of post and pages.

            Hope this helps you.

                I was looking for someone to say that exactly.

                I fully share you with that.

                  Don't agree. Many time you have room for your company or branding and it is a good idea. It's an easy way to gain market awareness.  Also, stuffing a ton of kw's in a title can look spammy.

                    Hi There!

                    Blue Corona is an Internet Marketing company so this is exactly the sort of thing we help our clients with! We have years of experience tracking and testing different SEO strategies so you can take our word on this one!

                    A title tag is limited to only 70 characters so you want to use this small space wisely! (Anything over 70 characters will not help you, only hurt you and confuse search engines) Given this small amount of space, you do not have room to put your company name in there. You may have room for your name in the Meta Description, but never the title tag.

                    In the title tag you want to enter keywords and location modifiers. Let's do an example. Let's pretend you are creating a page for plumbing repair service in Tampa, Florida. You should use the title tag:

                    Plumbing Repair in Tampa, FL | Florida Plumbing Service & Repair

                    Hope this helps! If you would like additional SEO tips or service, please visit our website at: http://www.bluecorona.com/

                        Hey anavasis,

                        Including your site name in your page title is good. But including in all the pages may not be good. you can choose to include the site name in the pages which have short title length and which you think are most important content of your's.

                        For sharing the pages(facebook,twitter,.etc) you can use custom sharing titles including your brand name.

                        Hope its is useful to you.

                        thanks,

                        goodluck!

                          Hi there

                          I like to include brand or site names from a branding perspective, it just looks more authoritative to me and it helps the user remember who they are reading. It also helps from a branded search perspective.

                          Let me know if this helps or if you have questions beyond. Good luck!

                            Yes, I typically always do and place it after the topic of the page:

                            Plagiarism Types | Brand

                            It helps with brand recognition.  Just remember that if is a long brand name it will get truncated. Also, make sure you have a compelling meta descriptions to improve click-throughs.

                            Good luck!

                              Reducing number of site pages?

                              Hi, I am looking through my site structure and I have a lot of pages left over from the days of article keywords.  Probably 7 or 8 years ago, someone sold my husband on article key word pages.  I have slowly gotten rid of a lot of them as they have fallen out out of the ranks.  I would like to get rid of the rest, probably 5 or 6 pages.  Will it hurt my rankings to delete pages and redirect them?  My customers really like the simplicity of our site and I want to keep it that way, plus clean up flags that Moz is telling me is a problem. I think its easier to keep less pages top notch than have to worry with a lot of them.  Especially since my customers aren't viewing them. Thanks in advance!

                              Page Title versus H1 title

                              What's the difference between the Page Title and the H1 title? It seems like both summarize the page. Is it a wasted opportunity to make them the same? Should they be similar but slightly different?

                              Duplicate page titles and hreflang tags

                              Moz is flagging a lot of pages on our site which have duplicate page titles. 99% of these are international pages which hreflang tags in the sitemap. Do I need to worry about this? I assumed that it wasn't an issue given the use of hreflang. And if that's the case, why is Moz flagging them as an issue? Thanks.

                              New site pages are indexed but not ranking for anything

                              I just built this site for a client http://primedraftarchitecture.com.  It went live 3 weeks ago and the pages are getting indexed as per Webmaster Tools.  But I'm not seeing it rank for anything. We're adding blog articles regularly and used Moz Local for local links and have been building links in other local directories (probably about 15 so far). Usually I get some rankings, although very low, after just a week or two for new sites. Does anyone see anything glaring that may be causing a problem?

                              Is it OK to include name of your town to the title tag or H1 tag on a blog to enhance local search results

                              I recently attended a webinar by ETNA Interactive on local search SEO. The presenter recommended including the name of your town in the title of the blog to increase local search SEO. Is this OK? Ive always been concerned that it is such an obvious attempt to rank locally that Google would consider it "spammy" ? black hat, "sketchy" or otherwise manipulative. Have the rules changed? Is it OK to do? Brooke

                              Should I include a "|" for better page title SEO results?

                              I have seen many sites that include the "|" in page titles and was wondering if there is some SEO value in the practice. Example: Product Name | Company Name Instead of: Product Name by Company Name I have not seen any value in it myself other than a good way to avoid stop words.  I wanted to make sure.  Currently I have the "by" included in the page titles.

                              In the tile of my post, shoudl I used my blog's name in it at the end or emit the blog name. EX: title of post with keywords | name of blog OR EX: title of post with keywords The site's name is 3 words long, so I'm worrying that those extra words are diluting the keywords in the post's name that I'm trying to target.
