Page titles

Hi Guys,

Hope your all well and business is good.

I have been going through and changing page titles for my site which is currently huge attracting massive amounts of traffic. However from my pro membership i have notice a lot of the rankings in Google search engine has decreased.

I have been using a strategy that i read on SEOMoz which is;

example

Keyword | Page heading | company name

Is this why? if so what is the best method? I have changed nothing else so far.

Thanks Lewis,

Hurts a bit as it is for alot of my targeted keywords.

Is there anything i can do to get the rising again? I need to sort out 301 redirects on my duplicate index pages which i think will help.

Any other suggestions and quick fixes??

Cheers

Hi Wazza

The best practice listed on SEO Moz is....

Primary Keyword - Secondary Keyword | Brand Name
or
Brand Name | Primary Keyword and Secondary Keyword

.....personally I usually go for Primary Keyword (or phrase) | Brand name

Rankings may have changed not just because of what you did but may have changed due to the Google Farmer/Panda update or because of the actions of competitor sites.
