Title too long, is it a big problem?
-
Hi is it a very big problem if my title is too long?
I have
PRODUCT NAME Company Name for Lingerie, Swimwear, Bras and Panties
In shopping cart with the PRODUCT NAME generated dynamicly, so the product name could end up 20 or so characters but usually would be less

Its worth considering the organic CTR of your result, the title tag should eye catching. It is often worth looking at the format and style of your title tag in relation to the title tags of results above and below you in serps. If they are all the same and indeed even if well optimised for SEO, it might be worth considering doing some testing ie can you change your title tag format to catch the browsers without affecting your position. If they are all 65 chars then you can win with shorter tag perhaps a tag with your freephone number etc...

My Advice is to keep titles below 68 charatcers,
IF you go over the limit it looks like you have rushed the job imo.
Also if possible try to keep the Brand terms at the end of titles
Use - MAIN KEYWORD | CAT | BRAND
Regards.

It won't hurt your rankings - just perhaps your CTR in the SERP's.

Your title is long, but not long enough to be cut off by an ellipsis (>66 characters).
A common title format that I like is: Product - Category | Company
You can always test different title formats and re-calibrate if necessary.

Problem with duplicate pages due to mobile site.
Hey everyone, We've got an issue where our current shopping cart provider (Volusion) allows us to use canonical and rel="alternate" links, however the canonical links are forced on our Desktop as well as mobile pages. When they should only be on the mobile pages. You can view what I mean at the below two pages: http://www.absoluteautomation.ca/fgd400-sensaphone400-p/fgd400.htm https://www.absoluteautomation.ca/mobile/Product.aspx?ProductCode=FGD400 Does anyone have any ideas in terms of working around this?

Tripping versus Tripping.com in title tags?
Hi All, We had a quick question regarding the construction of title tags throughout our site (yay for optimizing!). We were wondering what is considered best practice or what we should be considering when we're deciding how to end our title tags - basically, it's between Tripping and Tripping.com. For example: This is the content | Tripping OR This it the content | Tripping.com Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Duplicate Page Title for multilingual wordpress site
Hello all, I have received my first crawl reports and I find a lot of errors of duplicate page title. In the wordpress site I use the qtranslate plugin in order to have the site in 2 languages. I also use the Yoast SEO plugin in order to put titles, description and keywords to each web page. By looking deeply in the duplicate page title errors I think I found that the problem is that every web page takes the same SEO Title for each language. But I am not 100% sure. I tried to use some shortcodes of the qtranslate plugin like the following ABOUT [:en]About in order to indicate and give different titles per language for one web page but that doesn't seem to work. Does anybody here has experienced the same problem as me? Do you have any suggestions about how to ressolve the problem of the duplicate page title? I can give you the URL of the website if you need it to have a look. Thank you in advanced for your help. I really appreciate that. Regards, Lenia

A problem with duplicate content
I'm kind of new at this. My crawl anaylsis says that I have a problem with duplicate content. I set the site up so that web sections appear in a folder with an index page as a landing page for that section. The URL would look like: www.myweb.com/section/index.php The crawl analysis says that both that URL and its root: www.myweb.com/section/ have been indexed. So I appear to have a situation where the page has been indexed twice and is a duplicate of itself. What can I do to remedy this? And, what steps should i take to get the pages re-indexed so that this type of duplication is avoided? I hope this makes sense! Any help gratefully received. Iain
