Effect of changing the title tag

Telly · 01-02-2008, 08:33 PM

Am I right in thinking that changing a title tag causes a temporary drop in Google SERP or did I dream that?

If I change the title tag as part of targeting a new keyphrase then should I see a temporary dip in the results for that keyphrase? And for how long?

Thanks!

It depends on how big you have made your title tag and it stays on topic. Even if you have cluttered lots of keywords in title tag you may not get proper benefit of title tag.

Ideally I would say 2/3 keywords is ok.

Hope that helps!

The title tag and page name are probably the most important on-page factors you can do for seo.

If you chng ethe title tag, it means you will start competing with potentially different websites for a top spot. The different websites may als have different pageranks to what you are current competing with.

But in general terms, the longer the website is live, the better it will rank.

ie: links x content x domain age = rank
