Will it change my current position on Google, or PR (currently PR6)?
Anyone has done this without penalising the site, and with good results?
Thanks!
Your SERPs will SOAR!
I have a PR6 site with 100s of top 10 and 20 SERPs and it's 100% from having context sensitive titles site wide.
Before I made that change my pages were sometimes top 10/20, but more often 30-100.
After the change my traffic shot up almost 300% just the next month.
Your mileage may vary.
All my content is driven from a database. Using ASP what would be the best option to set the title? Have in mind that until the record is retrieved I don't have the content title, and the <head> is in a include file.
I've noticed that if I have a second <title> on my page, IE will show this instead of the first one.
How well Google will feel about this? Will the robot recognise this second title, or is there a script command on ASP that I can use to change the http headers being sent (seeing that my output is cached until the end of the script)?
Thanks!
Here's a hint you could pay big bucks to learn:
I actually manually set most of the page title based on the page content to get extra SERPs.
For instance, keyword WIDGET is in the page my title says "WIDGET, WIDGETS, WIDGET MAKER, WIDGET MAKERS, WIDGET SELLER, WIDGET SELLERS" etc.
Don't get too spammy, just the main keyword, it's plural, secondary keyword and plural, sometimes a 3rd but not often.
You could probably adapt as needed to your content, but this method works gang busters for me.
It's live now. Google takes one or two days to spider my site (quite fast actually, since it takes only 5 minutes for news.google.com to get any new article).
Let's see the result :)
It's been a *very* big boom for us. We actually show up above some of our competitors when doing a search on them ;)
PR 5-6 here as well -- deep crawled by G all the time.
