title on page

does it make a diffrance

[o0_cops_0o]

I created a template for my site and used it to build my other pages. I noticed in the html code that I used the same title on every page, I now changed the title on 300 pages to match the content of that single page. Does this make a diffrence or did i just waist 2 hours of my time?

If every thread at webmasterworld had the same title would it make a difference to you?

It makes a huge difference if it contains a keyword you are focusing on in the page.

I have pages that only have the keyword(s) in the title and rank VERY high for those phrases :)

hmmmm. im not talking about the title that viewers see on my page, but the <TITLE>my page title</TITLE> in my html code

Yes there all keywords that I would love to see my site under

I would suggest you use the same title as the title of your page.

Yes it makes a difference. Google eventually indexes each page of your site and will rank you on keywords it finds on the page. The title of the page is extremely important.

You have the right idea= different title for each page according to the content on that page. Use important keywords/phrases.

GREAT! its just to bad i caught this after the deep crawlers. but im hoping now that i get freshbots to visit my site again soon :)

[AhmedF]

yes I meant the <title> tag

And I meant to stay on TOPIC

Lets say you have widgets.com, and talk about gree, blue, red

Dont just call the page 'Widgets.com'

Green - Widgets.com
Blue - Widgets.com
Red - Widgets.com

Your pages just instantly become more descriptive [lets say someone bookmarks it], plus it WILL help with SEs

thanks for the info. AhmedF thats what i did now, if the page topic is about blue, i made the title blue, i used to have it widgets.com for every page. Not anymore :) Thanks again

An exampe of <title>: I updated my main site on Saturday but by accident my main page had the title of a new CD release (I had been messing about with a new look front page but had not made any changes in the end). I noticed my mistake on Monday - when I appeared as No 4 in a search for this new CD. Freshbot had elevated me to that position purely on the strength of <title> since no reference to the CD was in the content of the page.

I've found that what I put in the title tags makes the biggest difference of all the things I can do on a page to optimize it. Changing the order of words in the title alone has moved me way up in the serps for my keyword.

Also when viewers save your page to their bookmarks the label they get is what you have in the title tags so good title tags make a big difference.

I try to make the title tag title and the title of the article the same as much as possible. It makes sense for Google and for visitors.

> I try to make the title tag title and the title of the article the same as much as possible.

I try to use different forms of the keywords in the <title> and <h1> tags as people search on all forms. Thus for a page on Mount Widget in New Hampshire I will have a tiitle of Mt. Widget, NH and an h1 of Mount Widget, New Hampshire.

Last Friday I changed all the titles on my website to be appropriate to the page content, and I have already seen hits from Google improve 40 - 50%. I would highly recommend doing it.

Try to incorporate your most important keywords or phrase for each page into the title, preferably at or near the start of the title, and with the words together and in the same order that someone would search for them.
