How many page title characters does Google index?, David Naylor, (June 3)
The asnwer is Google is now indexing 213 characters in the title tag.
Out of this comes the recommendation to:
First block – under 70 characters, headline keywords, branding and call to action, seen by real people “Bear Snacks for Hungry Grizzlies – great deals from Bearsnacks Ltd”Second block – second-tier keywords, heavy hints to Google
“Food for Bears, Bear Feed, Snacks for Bears”Third block – long tail extras, possible matches
“My bear is hungry, what do I feed my bear, what do bears eat”
Lets hope this doesn't lead to a lot of keyword stuffing into titles that won't show on the search results page.
