[2] Use different titles on different pages
Never use same title on every page or blog post. It must be unique on every page
[3] Do not use too many keywords in your titles
Keywords are importatnt, But don't harvest Keywords ;) You should use only 2-3 Keyword phrases.
Examples-
- ExampleSite.com - Download Free Wallpapers for iPhones
- Download Free wallpapers for your desktop, iPhone, iPad in different resoulutioojns
[4] Use your brand in page titles
Use your website/blog name or brand at the begining or end of your title on every post
Examples-
Option 1: Search Engine Optimization Tips | Artical Base
Option 2: Search Engine Optimization Tips – Wikipedia
Option 3: Wikipedia: Search engine optimization and website promotion
[5] Try not use “stop-words” in the title
Stop words have no value for search engins, usually stop-words are ignored by search engines, Some of the stop-words: a, about, an, as, are, but, be, or, and, for and others.
[6] Proper title must contain your keywords
[7] Do not use too long page titles
Limit your title for 70 charectors, If your headline is more than 70, Google will automatically cut it and will add an ellipsis at the end.
[8] Each word should not be repeated more than two times
Example for wrong title
Buy iPhone 3g, cases iPhone 3g, covers iPhone 3g, accessories iPhone 3G
This title looks like spam for search engines. In this case it is better to use the following title:
Buy iPhone 3g – covers, cases, accessories
[9] Most important keywords should be at the beginning of the title
[10] Use some patterns
[modifier1 keyword] + [keyword modifier2] = [modifier1 keyword modifier2]
Example:
“Find work at home jobs” + “work at home jobs online” = “find work at home jobs online”.You should remember that by using long keywords, you can break the limit of 70 characters in your title tag.

Symbol - Name & - Ampersand
© - Copyright symbol
® - Registered trademark
