New google serps page design
-
hi
i know title length displayed is now based on pixels rather than character but still thought safe to have titles up to 70 characters long before they are truncated
i see that on the new G serps designed pages titles that were showing in full on old design (without truncation) are now being truncated. As in same title shows fine (displays in full) on old design serps but truncated on new designed page
Anyone else notice this ?
Cheers
Dan

Wow ! Thanks fir that Vahe, very useful indeed !

Guys you should check out Dr Pete's post which Moz recently published today. The study actually outlines that the Title get's truncated on average after 50 characters; and with titles with full caps 44 characters.

I guess Google at the end of the day is trying to get users to write more meaningful titles, and the SERP redesign is just a step in the process.

I just played around with it. Depending on how much of the title is bolded (if the query keywords were in our title), our title would continue to get truncated at 61 characters.
-
interesting stuff Andrew, truncating at 66 characters, that seriously reducing title tag real estate!!
They have been re-writing titles for a while now so agreed nothing to do with recent serp page design update

We've also noticed that we get the "..." even though we're at 66 chars.
Another thing we've noticed (and this may not be due to the update) is that Google will rewrite our <title>to put the brand name in the front. For example:</p> <ul> <li>Keyword Phrase 1 - Keyword Phrase 2 - Brand </li> <li>Gets rewritten to:</li> <li>Brand: Keyword Phrase 1 - Keyword Phrase 2</li> </ul> <p> </p></title>

Page title contents
In my page title, I have my product name. Is it beneficial to also include another keyword like: Buy wedding dress online Australia: e..g. (page title) amelie wedding dress | buy wedding dress online Australia. Or is it better just using: Amelie wedding dress

Google indexing
Hi In my site I have 2 blogs, the first blog is a standard blog, every post is informative and over 6oo words with pictures and all of them are keyworded. The second blog is basically a journal of bike rides i go on, with a picture and about 100 - 300 word writeup. I use a portfolio plugin to get this online. My question is should I noindex nofollow all of these posts. Im not sure if google will see it as a lot of uninformative noncene, I dont write these as blog posts they are a journal I post 1 or 2 a day. What is the normal practice for this... they are not keyworded or seo'd I dont want them to affect my seo or rankings. Thanks Chris

Sold Products appear as duplicate pages 'Page Not Found' ???
Hi there, I'm down to just 6 duplicate page warnings but I'm not sure how to deal with this one: Information Page Not Found! http://www.vintageheirloom.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=6 My Ecommerce shopping site products are unique, 1 of a kind. So once one product has sold and been delivered we take the product off our website, hence the Information Page Not Found! As I understand when search engines re-index these warnings will drop off but new sold products would replace them. So redirecting seems like hard work and never ending. Is it ok to ignore these warnings? Thanks Mozzers..

Faq page
We are redoing our faq page and we were trying to decide on the best format. 1. Create each question on a separate page 2. Create one page with all the question and have the questions expand 3. Create different faq category pages (like 4) and divide the questions between them From my perspective #1 seems the best ---. you can create hyper relevant content for the user and optimize each question really well Any experience with this?
