Why Is My Title Element Too Long? (> 70 Characters)
-
I recently launched a new website and according to the Moz Crawl Diagnostics Summary, I have more than 8,000 pages that have Title Elements that are Too Long (>70 Characters).
But, when I look at these Page Titles, most of them seem to be (<70 Characters).
Examples (with pages linked to the actual website):
Collection page // Brooklyn Nets Shirts - Nets T-Shirt, Tees, Tops | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 92 characters, over by 22)
Product page // EA SPORTS Boxing Shirt - Red | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 73 characters, over by 3
Blog post // 50 Father's Day Gift Ideas For Dad | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 79 characters, over by 9)
Is there a way to verify that the Moz tool is correct, and I'm overlooking that these page titles are indeed >70 characters? Any insight on how to resolve this problem as well? Appreciate any advice or articles that discuss this issue.

Chris is correct I have seen this before where it counts line breaks before and after text.
to fit in with all search engines you should keep to 65.
Another thing to consider, title tags have so much power, that power is divided between the keywords. If you have a long title not so much power is given to each keyword.
If your parents leave 1 million dollars in their will, you will be a rich man, but if you have 10 brothers and sisters then not so rich.

Makes sense. Thanks!

In the HTML, your title is spread over 4 lines and it seams that Moz is counting additional charaters because of that. It seems as though Google is presenting it correctly but you really should get that fixed.

Unsolved 503 Service Unavailable (temporary?) Rogerbot takes a break
A lot of my Moz duties seem to be setting hundreds of issues to ignore because my site was getting crawled while under maintenance. Why can't Rogerbot take a break after running into a few of these and then try again later? Is there an official code for Temporary Service Unavailability that can smart bots pause crawls so that they are not wasting compute, bandwidth, crawl budget and my time?

0% visbility and no ranking keywords.
Yesterday, we uploaded a new campaign but it appears it has 0% of visibility and no keywords ranking. What might be the problem? The website has a domain authority of 39 and 500 visits in the last week. But according to the Moz campaign they don't even rank for the name.

Why does Moz see short Russian & Chinese urls as too long
We are translating content into Russian and Chinese on our website, the number of errors are increasing mainly around URL too long, each time we create a page with a Chinese or Russian url. If you click on the link below for a Chinese content page: https://www.westbourneschool.com/zh-hans/%E5%AE%BF%E8%88%8D%E5%8F%8A%E5%AF%84%E5%AE%BF%E5%AE%B6%E5%BA%AD/%E5%AE%BF%E8%88%8D%E7%94%9F%E6%B4%BB You will notice the url displayed by the browser is actually not very long, is there a way for MOZ not to see it as it appears above? Below is a page in Russian https://www.westbourneschool.com/ru/%D0%A8%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B0%20%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5 Any help will be much appreciated.

Duplicate Page Title
I am seeing pages show up in my campaign Errors report for Duplicate Page Title. One for example states that this page: https://www.inprocorp.com/AboutInPro/AboutUs/HistoryTimeline/tabid/316/Default.aspx has a duplicate page title as this page: https://www.inprocorp.com/AboutInPro/HistoryTimeline/tabid/316/Default.aspx I have a redirect setup so that if you access page #2, you are redirected to page #1. So how do I get errors like this to drop off my report? Have I not fixed the problem sufficiently for the crawler? Thanks, John
