    Page Title Length

    It's not as cut-n-dry as you may think though. Try this out: Search query: muscle car tuning (Google) Page 1: Truncates a title at 61 characters Page 2: Truncates a title at 66 characters, and a has a full listed title at 68 characters Not too much consistency there?

    Page Title Length

    Yeah I totally agree, but that brings me back to my original question :) Best idea is to have your most important words at the first half of the title (within the character limit) I have also heard that it best not to start your title with a keyword but instead a modifier. Example: Muscle...

    Page Title Length

    I am not sure that is true...its not like there is weight limit and the more words you have, the more it has to share. The same weight is applied to a keyword whether it is by itself or part of a sentence. Weight is only applied to the keyword(s) from the search query, all other words are just...

    Page Title Length

    I have conflicting info about how long a page title can be before it is truncated on a SERP. To my understanding I thought it was 70 characters, but recently I have heard that it is 65?

    302 redirect

    I would think it is only a problem if the your page(s) changes or no longer exists (that would a problem for them). Why not have them just link to your exact url? Also to my understanding, if a link has more than one redirect, page rank is lost in transfer. For example: Referring Link >>...

    Use website or use web site?

    For website copy and meta data, is it better to use: Website OR Web Site? According to Google Keyword Tool, the search volume for "website" is about 25mil, and for "web site" it is 5-7mil. Consider this, the AP Stylebook, the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications, and...

    Quality of Code and SERP

    Thanks Matt, I have considered this too. By using CSS positioning the code doesn't have to be written in the order it will be displayed. Curious to know if that would effect the ranking. I am in the process of converting the site into a table-less format so the pages are going to be shorter...

    Quality of Code and SERP

    Thanks for the info, and the link surrey. Will check the standard. Yeah the meta data is in the correct place, it is the structural code that is outdated and or "messy". For example a clean page would have the content starting around line 50-100, but the messy page doesn't have it starting...

    Quality of Code and SERP

    Hello all, what do you guys think about the quality/cleanliness of code in a website structure/page and its effect on SE rankings. For instance, lets assume we have a good title, heading(s), copy, and anchor text for a given keyword phrase, but the structure (html) of the page is messy...

    Still Using Inline Styles?

    haha that's funny, I am guilty of the same thing. Only after I have got the exact styles that I want, do i go back and cut out the inline stuff and make classes in an external. Old habits die hard, right?

    Robot.txt file

    In the meta tags for that page you could use noarchive. That tells the SE not to cache your web page. I don't think it can be targeted to a single phrase though. <META content="NOARCHIVE" name="ROBOTS">

    Robot.txt file

    Have you found that using the robots.txt file with disallow effectively works to stop your pages from showing in a search index? Have you ever used noindex in the robots.txt file? I hear it is only accepted by Google.
