SEO MythBuster Test #2 – The Title element

How many words will Google read of your title tag or Everything You ever Wanted To Know About The Title Element & SEO?

Why am I bothering to test this? Sometimes I ask myself that….but actually the title tag is perhaps one of the single most important elements you have under your control that could affect your ranking in Google, Yahoo and MSN.

“The best piece of advice I can give you is to vary your linking strategy. It’s the only way to be sure you’ll achieve good rankings, and keep them. Remember that what works today might not work “tomorrow” – so it’s worth experimenting while all the time hunting for those “quality” links.”
