Comments on: Why do most Indian job sites have terrible page titles? http://amitpande.com/2007/08/24/63/ Fri, 05 Dec 2008 12:55:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Muthu Online http://amitpande.com/2007/08/24/63/#comment-1299 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 18:44:47 +0000 http://amitpande.com/2007/08/24/63/#comment-1299 IMHO, Page Title content are primarily targeted at the Search Engine bots with the intention of being listed on the first page of a search result, in order to drive more traffic. Not many users pay much attention to what's on the Page Title. ( Dont have data to substantiate this though :)) When it comes to SEO, the keywords (including the ones on the Page Title) need to be written in a certain manner which makes sense to these search engine bots and their algorithms. They need not necessarily be a proper statement or a sentence. However, one cant overdo or underplay keywords. Its been found on trial and error basis, that often, search result ranking of websites are likely to increase, when such "chunks of keywords" are used instead of a "proper" sentences. That said, i still would appreciate a "Page Title" constructed meaningfully and yet optimized for high search result ranking.
