Changing page title everyday

Page title altered for freshbot.

[Barleycorn]

I wanted to know everyones opinion on altering page title everyday to maximize keywords. I have a competitor that does this and gets good results. It's easy to do, but will google penalize them in the future? I'm on the brink of doing it, but I really don't want to do anything unnatural.

What's everyone's opinion?

I shouldnt see why google should penalize them after all google loves ever changing content as long as the keywords appear in your title and the body of the page and look natural eg: no keyword stuffing.

Everytime I've changed my title I get yanked out of the SERPS for 48 hours and then reinserted. Of course I've only done this over the past month or so and it honestly has nothing to do with Florida or SEO... just changes in personal preference . But that's my experience with it.

Barleycorn, I don't know if that's a great idea, (but I don't know that it's not). Google is getting better at spotting people who are trying to game the serps... there are some who have gotten very paranoid, post-Florida, who might suggest that it will get flagged as suspicious.

Wouldn't a better approach be to add more pages with good content that have the desired alternate kw's in the title? If you're changing title kw's on one page constantly, then on any given day you're missing kw's if Google crawls through.

At any rate, I haven't seen any posts by members that have mentioned problems by doing what you're contemplating... if you feel adventurous, give it a try and let us all know if it works.

(When I tweak titles the pages usually don't disappear from the serps, just suddenly show with the new title.)

If it is a valuable service to your users -- like the page title carries a special offer or a relevant news article -- do it.

If it isn't, then think about your focus: who are you really doing the site for?

Even i do it with my sites. Not everyday but ofcourse frequently and it has nothing to do with SEO. Ofcourse i place the keywords for which i've optimized the site in the title. Besides that i keep altering the new keywords as per the search trend.Title is the most important thing as it intoduces your to your potential client so i sometimes i change it to make it more catchy( ofcourse without removeing my main keywords)

I wonder if it isn't me who's your competitor.

I do it once a month for SEO purposes. I do it just to keep it fresh. I've never had a problem or had my index page taken down tempoarily, but I haven't changed it since Florida.

It appears that someone completely removed the thread "Theory: Google looking for the effect" which introduced the idea that Google could measure the level of SEO for pages/sites, and notice if any change in its SEO score is significant (X deviations from the norm). This would help Google to know if a page is truly being optimized for search engines or if it's a false positive -- in a Wired article, Brin has stated his disdain for optimizers.
