2 Titles
-
The analysis said that I have two titles on our main page. www.msperformanceonline.com the 1st is "Camaro Accessories, Camaro Parts, MS Performance" and the second is ( and""). I have looked and can't find out where it is!?! I been looking for hours through the code. Is there anything else I can use to find it? I Anyone's help will be appreciated.

You know, I'd leave in the msvalidate and remove everything else. Bing is offering a LOT more information in their webmaster tools and this now means that you have some historical information built up in your webmaster tools account (presuming it was installed correctly).

Hail Champions!
I was speculating that the Dual Titles would enhance Googles perception of the page since there are two authoritative statements of what the page is about. From your remarks I am seeing this is not the case. Thank you for your wisdom and insight! Good luck on your quests for Page 1!

If you're not using bing webmaster tools and you didn't add the msvalidate code then I think you can delete all the html that I quoted in my earlier answer.

I suspect having a second blank title tag isn't going to hurt you too badly. The engines are unlikely to decide to use blank content to represent your page in the SERPS.
If you had multiple title tags with different content then there's going to be possible confusion!

Ya know I'm not sure. I don't use bing tools. Just yahoo, google and now seomoz. I might add that seomoz kicks butt and I have only been using it for a day or 2. But anyway I took out the title tags but not the whole code. Hopefully that will work.

2 titles can cause ranking problems. search engines get confused when there are more than 1. Plainly speaking it just isn't good for seo.

Is it the Bing webmaster tools validation code?

Hi Keri, thank you for the insight. I will try to figure out what the msvalidate is.
-
Thank you. I don't even know what it is. Have you ever heard of msvalidate.01?

Greetings Champion!
What are the effects of having two titles?

I'm seeing two titles in there. View source on the home page, then do a control-f for find in your browser, and search for the word title. The second one is right below the msvalidate.

Google Increases Titles and Meta Descriptions Length
So, we now know that Google are changing the Title and Meta Desc length limits to 70 and 200 respectively. Does this mean we all need to jump to immediate attention and modify all our current pages OR, do we wait?

Optimal amount of alt and title tags on a landing page?
Hey guys! We are preparing a few product landing pages and want to make sure the alt and title tags are done correctly. We looked at landing pages from Apple and Google Nexus and found that they had very few alt and title tags (or none). Are we missing something here? Should there be an alt for every image and title for every link?

Should Title Tags Differ From H1's?
I never thought this was an issue, but now, I'm not so sure. Is it a problem for your title tags to be identical to your H1's? From Moz' OnPage Grader section on "H1's and Title Tags," I thought they were supposed to both match your keyword. Any thoughts? Thanks, Ruben

Can I add multi location business cities to homepage meta title or desc.?
I have a business with 6 locations (in the same state) but very different cities. We we expanded from one location with the city name in the URL we followed best practices to move to the new domain without the singular city name in the URL.

On-Page Optimization | | beehiive
-Contact Page -On local page It's a WP site and each location has it's own page (ie. locations/geolocation_keyword). I know all other locations will take sometime but my concern is the hit we took on the original location that had geo-target URL. I guess really my question is simply can I include city names in homepage meta title and desc.?
and is there anything else I can do to bounce back organically on the original city faster?0 -
Google Doesn't Display A Right Page Title
For some reason Google Displays a wrong page title of some of my pages. E.g. page http://www.imoney.my/home-loan The title in the search reach results says "Home Loan - iMoney", but the one I've set up is <title></span><span class="webkit-html-tag">Housing Loan: Compare Mortgages of All Malaysian Banks @iMoney.my</span><span class="webkit-html-tag"></title> Even when I preview it on the preview tool, it shows the full title, but when I google - again the short one. Does anyone know what the reason for that is?

Changing of title page and description
Can I ask how long after changing the Title and Description tags on a website do people have to wait to see these changes reflected in Google? I changed a site of mine a couple of weeks back, pinged the site to google and had well over 5,000 googlebots to the page (not a result of pinging, I get that anyway), yet Google continues to display the old listing. Any secret techniques to speeding this up? Thanks
