Ah Yes – The old 5 Star trick I used to use such tricks to get a user’s eye to look at the snippet. Don’t use it much though, and Google has most of those characters nuked these days (in the Page Title Element)

Good article about title selection, but I think you forget to cover one thing, how to use special characters effectively in Title tag.

It’s best to include keywords in your title tags and remove unnecessary linking words such as ‘and’, replacing them with the ever popular ‘|’ (pipe-line symbol) – as can be seen above in a few examples. Be careful not to duplicate the title tag into the h1 tag – this would be rather spammy of you! ;p Instead, I like to get them reasonably close to each other, changing just a few words. This means that the relevance of page title to content starts off on a good foot!

Cheers Matt and thanks. It’s a bit of fun.

Yes – There’s slight nuances to a title tag, and importantly as Praveen very intelligently pointed out too, it’s important to test what’s better for your site, what gets more visitors – what matches your audience’s expectations and intent when searching.

I can see your traditional approach to the title and to be honest I think it would perform well although I would choose:

SEO Company | Scotland | The Hobo

I think “The Hobo SEO Company Scotland” is more user friendly and would probably perform better for brand terms.

Just my 2 cents, like the idea of a tip a day btw mate!
