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.

Good Content to Fight Bounce Rates

SEO is always looking for ways to get keywords and pages ranked in Google. There still no substitute for good content. A more well written aritlces you have on the site the better you will always be. One thing to keep in mind when you write for the search engines more than the consumer is Google and Yahoo track when people back click and how fast they back click.

The other part of good content is that you go to all the work to get a keyword or page ranked and if it doesn't convert or give the message you want it doesn't always matter that you show up for it. I will take all the traffic I can get though it is important to look at bounce rates. Even if the article isn't exactly what you are offering is the information on the page compelling enough to get them to start clicking in the site.

Look for high bounce rate pages and see if changes to the content without losing how you get ranked for it to begin with can achieve better results.
