Does the title matter in search engines

How much thought do you put into the titles of your pages on your site? You probable answer is a lot as you think what would be the best title to get across your message that you want to convey. You have this great page with a great title and then you find out noone is finding it and reading it.

When titling a page especially one that is important on the site that you want people to find in the search engines it is important to create a title that is good for the site and reviews and good for the search engines. I come across tons of primary pages on sites that have good titles from the owners point of view though are not good at all for search.

Understanding how people search your industry is essential in properly naming your pages. The title of the page is the biggest key for a search engine before any other factor is taken into account. It is how Google or Yahoo know what the article is about instantly.

Through proper SEO research, an effective title can be created for users and web crawlers.

Are meta tags important for Google

The latest buzz around meta tags is that they are not as important as they once were. I find meta tags are still vital. The reason people believe they are not important is that now most people use them so it doesn't seem to matter. The problems lies with those that don't know what meta tags or don't have them. If you don't have meta tags on your website for each individual page you are at severe disadvantage.

The second aspect of meta tags that is overlooked is what you title each page. This is critical to SEO success. A change in one word can me not ranked at all on Google for the terms you want to rank for. Really good SEO experts understand how to use meta titles to their advantage.
