Double, Triple Brand In Title ?

[paul-bold]

Hey All,

Quick question regarding have your brand in your title 2+ times unnaturally; is this not keyword stuffing?

Example: BRAND product this that | BRAND - for almost every product?

Other titles are BRAND product | BRAND Keyword | Brand. - looks like a CMS issue.

Going through all of a clients titles and want your opinion!!

Thanks !

To add to what the others have written:

Consider writing your title tags for the users as well. What does your page content offer them? Ranking is only 1/2 of the battle. You need a snippet that gets people to click your result as well.

Hey Dylan,

You now have 512 pixels to play with for your page title. This equates to around 60 characters, depending on the characters used and how wide they are.

Screaming Frog Spider offer a free download that will allow you see how many pixels your titles are.

to answer your other question, yes, that is overly spammy. I always like to follow the simple rule of

<important keywords=""><expansion words="" phrase="">|<brand></brand></expansion></important>

Check Dr. Pete's recent post about the new page title guidelines: http://moz.com/blog/new-title-tag-guidelines-preview-tool

The max length is based on the pixel width, not the number of characters, so you need to be careful with those long titles.

On the other hand, repeating the brand name 2-3 times is spammy. I don't recommend it, because it will have a negative impact on click-through-rate.
