SEOMoz report says: 1 Warning Title Element Too Long (> 70 Characters)

SEOMoz report says: 1 Warning Title Element Too Long (> 70 Characters) Found 36 minutes ago Number of characters 112 (over by 42)" but I go to my Magento and look in both titles, meta & main and there are indeed only 70 showing. The additional come because my domain name, ergoback.com is in the error.! How to fix this please?

Ergoback,
You have two sections of code on each page for Title tags and meta descriptions. You only need one. As Vancity Stacks suggested, one is probably added by Magento and the other is probably added by the theme. The theme's versions of title and meta description would probably be the easiest and safest to remove. Yes, you can delete it.

Thanks, Christopher. Do I need this, my site name here? Can I delete it?
-
In your theme goto graysclae/template/page/html/head.phtml
This line adds your site name in
<title>echo $this->getTitle() ?>title> -
matt, thanks, but the above two titles do not show up this way on my magento back end.
it adds: "ErgoBack.com" at the begin, and, and "Ergo Back - www.ErgoBack.com" thus adding 42 characters over 70.
On my Magento, my general description says:
330 Series: Lift and Lock Articulating Arm - For Shallow Work Surfaces
and my meta title says:
330 Series: Lift and Lock Articulating Arm - For Shallow Work Surfaces
So why/where does my domian, ergoback get counted?
-
You have two titles.
<title></span><span class="webkit-html-tag">Ergoback- Neutral Posture Seating | Ergonomic Office Chairs | Rochester, NY</span><span class="webkit-html-tag"></title> (75 characters)
<title></span><span class="webkit-html-tag">ErgoBack.com Home Ergo Back - www.ErgoBack.com</span><span class="webkit-html-tag"></title> (46 chars)
So you have one title over 70 and a total of about 120 characters in the <title>tags. I would guess those are your two problems.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p></title>

Improving SEO for an e-commerce page with 1 product page
I'm trying to improve the SEO for an e-commerce store that I'm working for that sells custom car air fresheners where you select the shape of the item and then upload the photo. The site has been around for almost 10 years so has authority in the field and ranks number one for custom car air fresheners and other related high-traffic keywords. However, there is no blog, no social media and has 8 total pages: landing page, FAQ, contact, guidelines, shape/product (page that starts the ordering process with little text), scents, terms, and samples.

I'm struggling with how we rank higher for specific keywords that we are not number 1 with ok traffic (such as dog air freshener, custom air freshener for car with picture, custom photo car air freshener) and not affect the current keywords that we are ranking number one for. In addition, how do we rank higher for other keywords, if we don't have that many pages like a blog to create content? I was thinking of creating a blog to target more keywords, but I don't think there is enough relevant content to make. And I feel Google would find a blog about "top gifts for dad" or "top gifts for the holidays" not relevant. I was also thinking of adding more text to the shapes/product page which could be tailored towards a keyword. Maybe I could create another product page that goes into more detail about the air freshener with images, descriptions, and other use cases. On MOZ, the Domain Authority is 18 (really low), so I am thinking about working on getting backlinks from relevant sources with authority to improve our SEO. Or do we not mess with the text on the website since it works and not worry about the other keywords and focus on technical SEO items and backlinks to help with SEO? TLDR: How do you improve SEO for new keywords for an e-commerce business that doesn't have a lot of pages for content without affecting its number 1 ranking on other keywords?0 -
What is the best way to research long tail search queries?
Hi, I am wondering if there is any special way to seek out long tail search queries? For example, when I search in Adwords or Ubersuggest for a particular group of keywords, I only ever seem to get 1 to 3 keywords. I am looking for the longer search terms like actual questions i.e. "Where is the best yoga studio in Doncaster?" Currently I rely on not hitting in Google in enter but I figure that there must be a better way? Thanks guys!

Keyword difficulty report - am I stupid??
Hi, Im a programmer but SEO newbie and I am trying out Moz Pro. To be honest I feel really disheartened right now, I find the world of SEO very difficult and full of conflicting information. Anyway, I am trying to get my head around the Keyword difficulty tool in order to determine what keyword I want to go after and what I would need to do in order to outrank the competitors. The website with the highest PA, most external links to the domain (4000 versus around 80-90), the most linking root domain and the best on page optimasations ranks nr 5. The website that ranks 1 is the only one with good social signals. All of the websites has the keyword in the page title. What am I missing? This makes no sense to me. Is this Keyword tool reliable? VERY grateful for any help from you guys.. /Emma

Google Keyword Tool - Competition - How does it compare to SEOMoz Keyword Difficulty?
Hi, Many times, when I look up a keyword in google using their Keyword Tool, the competition might be low or medium, but, it doesn't seem close to the keyword difficulty on SEOMoz. For example, I looked up fantasy sports. It's low competition on Google. I thought, wow, that's amazing. How can that be when it's so popular? Huge search volume, low competition. Then, SEOMoz says 76% difficulty. It sort of shatters my enthusiasm all of a sudden. Maybe I have to change the order of how I look at it 🙂 What is the difference that's going on? What would be considered low keyword difficulty on SEOMoz? How about medium and high? I know someone might argue that for some guru, what's hard for one person isn't hard for the guru, but, for the average webmaster who does some seo, uses SEOMoz, and some other SEO tools, is there some general breakdown? Thanks.

Discrepancies between SEOMOZ's Google api exact match search volume results and google's keyword tool, why?
I'm finding major discrepancies between SEOMOZ's google api exact match search volumes and Google's own keyword tool, why? For example, 'bridge loans' gets 1300 searchs according to Google's keyword tool, but SEOMOZ says it only gets 210 (both on exact match). So which one do I believe? I know one is the average over 12 months and the other is for last month alone but still that's a huge difference.
