Proper Title Tags for ecommerce
-
In terms of E-commerce title tags. We are a manufacturer of our own clothing products. We are new to the SEO landscape so if this question is an obvious answer, then i apologize for wasting any one times in advance.
We Manufacture our own clothing. Each item has a name. The names are American womens names such as amanda or lori or jenniffer etc. When we create the title tag for them should we include the name of the item itself at the beginning or end. For example should it be
Item Name - Keyword - Keyword - Brand Name(aka manufacturer)
or
Keyword - Keyword - Item Name - Brand Name (aka manufacturer)
The reason we ask this is because we think it would be a waste to rank for actual American names such as Jennifer and Jessica. All that we have read on Moz suggests that it seems to be better to have pertinent keywords in the beginning of the title as opposed to the end. In terms of our brand name we already rank number 1 for every combination of our brand. So we would like to start picking up traffic for the different product types we sell and there respective synonyms. Not sure if i am making any sense. Sorry in advance, and any help is very very much appreciated.

So I assume the keyword is Blouse - name of Product Jessica
Women's Blouses | Jessica Blouse | Brandname
H1
Fashion Blouses
It is a little unusual to have the name of the product in womans fashion in the title - unless it is a big brand like G-Star etc. But that is up to you. An alternate might be
Blouses | Peasant, black casual | Brand name
H1
Womans fashion Blouses
Then leave jessica for the description of the product? There are 1000 ways to skin a cat, you have to decide which way to go. I prefer the latter.
Hope that assists.

When you say synergy with H1 tag. For example, the name of our product is simply Jessica Blouse. We would like to use the Meta title with Keyword - Keyword- Jessica - Brand Name; Would you consider that to be synergy? It seems to me what would be that could be debatable right?

The answer is the keyword first.
But concurrently when working on your title tag, you should also consider your H1. Create synergy so google can easily determine what search inquiry you answer. Additionally your URL structure.
Make is simple for google to understand what the purpose of each page is. Here is a good link to have a quick scan of.

Ranking dropped after changing title tag
I recently changed my company's site homepage title tag to make it start with our target keyword. The page was originally at page #7 or #8 and dropped to page #17 directly after I changed the page title. Is this normal? Is it's a temporary drop or should I change it back to the previous title.

Adding a Canonical Tag to each page referencing itself?
Hey Mozers! I've noticed that on www.Zappos.com they have a Canonical tag on each page referencing it self. I have heard that this is a popular method but I dont see the point in canon tagging a page to its self. Any thoughts?

Wrong titles in site links
Hello fellow marketers, I have found this weird thing with our website in the organic results. The sitelinks in the SERP shows wrong written text. As in grammatically incorrect text. My question is where does Google get the text from? It is not the page title as we can see it. kKsFv0X.png

Does a UTM tag influence the linkvalue?
Will Google value a link with a UTM tag the same as a clean link without a UTM tag? I should say that a UTM tag link is not a natural link so the linkvalue is zero. Anyone any idea how to look at this?

Does City In Title Tag Inhibit Broader Reach?
I use our city/state in the majority of our title tags and consequently we do very well locallly for the majority of terms on our ecommerce site. I'm wondering however, if this "localized" optimization will inadvertently affect our keyword rankings outside of our city/state? If a keyword query does not include our city or state, would Google interpret our titles as less relevent and therefore move other results ahead of ours? The city/state is last in the string on the title: Blue Widgets - Our Company in City, State Thanks for any insight.

How To Best Close An eCommerce Site?
We're closing down one of our eCommerce sites. What is the best approach to do this? The site has a modest link profile (a young site). It does have a run of site link to the parent site. It also has a couple hundred email subscribers and established accounts. Is there a gradual way to do this? How do I treat the subscribers and account holders? The impact won't be great, but I want to minimize collateral damage as much as possible. Thanks.
