Money From Blogging

So, does length of title of blog post play any role in terms of search engine optimisation ?

Title of any post is normally read by any visitor and that may entice the visitor enough to read the complete article, post a comment! But, how about a search engine crawlers who would anyway crawl the whole article once it indexes the page ?

Search engine takes title of the article very seriously and considers words in a title tag as important keywords. So, it is important that title of a post be constructed not only attracting visitors point of view, but also SEO(Search Engine Optimisation) point of view!

Number of words or length of the title is very important. If it is too long, search engine may find it spam and ignore the whole article and may even penalize the website! Users of WordPress blogging plateform should be more careful about title of a post, as it creates a URL as per the title of the post! That is if one is using “permalink” accordingly.

Number of words in a title should be maximum 7 or 8 words excluding “and”, “a”, “to”, “the” or prepositions! Under no circumstances, a title should have more than 12 words! It does not look nice on the blog and search engines too do not like them.

Title pages should have few important keywords and the article must also contain those keywords. Also article should use few variants of the same keywords in the title.

So, proper title with proper length would help getting the article crawled faster by search engines and would help rank the the website better. More visitors will result in more revenue for the website or blog!
