Main Page title change.
-
Hi,
For some reason every week or two I am changing the title tag of my main page. Each change takes place because I find new version better than the old one.
Does this have any impact on my SEO results (I'm keeping the main keywords each time) ?
If it has an impact is it positive or negative ? And should I stick to one title and not change it under any circumstances for long periods of time ?
Thanks!

You can modify the title how often you whant but be carefull that it is relevant to the content of the page and the most important keywords in title are in your content. You can read the begginer guide from seomoz on page optimisation, or google webmaster help

It should not have negative impact. Search engines just being adjusted and their info are being updated. Of course it is best to have best title.

Depending on how often google crawls your site you may be amending the title and then amending it again before it even gets a chance to re-crawl the site.
In that case Google may not even know about the short term version. It would probably be worth optimising once, leaving and seeing how much of an SEO impact the changes have made before tryign to change it again. Generally once you have the "right" title you won't need to keep switching it.

To change the Title every week or two does not affect per se the ranking potential if you maintain your main keyword in it... and better it is in the beginning of the Title (as a standard in the first 4 words).
But surely it has a marketing consequence, as people will never be able to assign a clear "Title/Tagline" to your site, and that should be also the function of the Title.

I don't think the frequency of <title>tag changes affect your on-page score, but the title you choose definitely will. It's one of the most important on-page signals. The general best practice is to start the title with the keyphrase that the page is optimized for and then may have company brand in there, too. But whatever you do, keep it short and start with the keyphrase that the page is optimized for. Once you've done this you shouldn't have to change it again.</p></title>

Any change has an impact on seo results sometimes better sometimes bad, it is the content of your site that is good to change often

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?

Moving Top rank Page urls off my Home page and nesting them on one page? Good idea?
I am basically trying to cut down the amount of links on my home page to make it less eye boggling and move stuff around. So i have of my Urls on my home page that lead to pages that rank very well within google. My questions is can i remove those urls to a separate page to group them together and then showcase that one link to that page on my home page. Is that a good idea or i am going to loose my link juice and position in search? The physical urls on those pages wont change at all.

Changing domain name
Hello, we have 10 websites in same niche, and plan to build one strong site by making a 301 redirect from all sites to one. We think to do redirect each site to subfolder like this: www.newdomain.com/site1 www.newdomain.com/site2 www.newdomain.com/site3 www.newdomain.com/site4 www.newdomain.com/site5 www.newdomain.com/site6 www.newdomain.com/site7 www.newdomain.com/site8 www.newdomain.com/site9 www.newdomain.com/site10 And in root domain place unique content updated daily. Is this would work? Or this is bad idea? Looking to hear from a qualified technicians advice. Thanks in advance!

Redirect and page ranking
We used to have a good page rank of Google, but now our page rank dropped to zero. A few months ago we did a redirect from our www.???.com to non-www.???.com, because non-www.???.com is now our main website. We also have a number of other domains which we redirect to our main website non-www.???.com Do you think these redirects are causing the problem, and if so what can we do to fix it? Thanks!
