Would you advise or not to include a sites name at the end of each title tage? Example "Top 3 things to do in New York | yoursite.com"

Having a discussion on if we should include our domain at the end of each site page.
Re read over the following pages and question remove the brand to keep under 70 characters? or Shorten the page Title before the brand? Let the title exceed 70 characters?
What is your thoughts?

Moosa and co.
Thanks. Our Domain is also our brand minus the .com so we have been adding the .com.
Our CMS has been auto adding to all page titles since day 1 and we are now looking to change this practice.
Thanks again and welcome any other suggestions.

that's what i said.. it should display when someone search for you in the search engine.
I think format can be different from website to website... for blog using this in the post will not really a good idea but if you are a service website with 15 to 20 pages that its great to use it on all pages.... where as with eCommerce the scenario is different...

Hi moosa i am agree with you, but if we want to use our site name for branding then we have to display it in SERP and for that we have to use it before 70 chars ends. don't think so that in every page we should add our site-name. We can add it in our most viewable pages.

I don’t believe on 70 characters theory anymore as Google is looking for pixels and title space that appears in search results is more depends upon pixels...
I think adding a company name (not URL) at the end of the title is great but it should appear in the search results... i don’t see any great SEO value out of it but it is surly great from the branding point of view...

Hi,
If you want to add your site name into page title then it is not a bad practice, you can add your site name as your brand name. SERP snippets displayed on 70 char so if you want to see your site name then you have to set your title within 70 char. If you want to make your title more than 70 char then you have to put your main keywords first. Page titles should be descriptive and concise and Brand your titles, but concisely. I have make my title Like

Hi Harley2g,
Instead of the domain at the end of each title tag, I would just put the company (or website) name.
For example:
Keyword 1 | Keyword 2 | Company Name
I wouldn't put the ".com" at the end of the title tags.

Google Listing Brand Name as Page Title rather than actual set Title
Any search result including our website is displaying our search result title like this: "Brand Name: Partial Page Title" instead of what it should be "Page Title" (as an example). Where is the "Brand Name:" coming from? We've verified we don't have any code that could cause this, and we're blocking in robots.txt directory listings being used for our search result title/meta. This isn't happening for our competitors. Any ideas on why this is, and if it's something we can control?

Site address change: new site isn't showing up in Google, old site is gone.
We just transitioned mccacompanies.com to confluentstrategies.com. The problem is that when I search for the old name, the old website doesn't come up anymore to redirect people to the new site. On the local card, Google has even taken off the website altogether. (I'm currently still trying to gain access to manage the business listing) When I search for confluent strategies, the website doesn't come up at all. But if I use the site: operator, it is in the index. Basically, my client has effectively disappeared off the face of the Google. (In doing other name changes, this has never happened to me before) What can I do?

"Standout" tag and "Original content" tags - what's the latest?
In November 2010 Google introduced the "standout tag" http://support.google.com/news/publisher/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=191283 I can't find any articles/blog posts/etc in google after that date, but its use was suggested in a google forum today to help with original content issues. Has anyone used them? Does anyone know what's the latest with them? Are they worth trying for SEO? Is there a possible SEO penalty for using them? Thanks, Jean

"/" at the end of a URL
I just noticed that I have the exact same page showing up separately in my Google Analytics reports. One has a "/" at the end and the other does not. Otherwise, these are the exact same URL's. Is this something I need to be aware of from a duplicate content perspective? If so, how do I go about fixing this? I thought the SE's would automatically see that a URL with a "/" at the end is the same as one without, but if that is the case, why is it showing up in my reports as two separate pages?
