Title Tag Suggestion
-
Short title tag is more useful so if we just use our targeted keyword in home page title then is it useful.?
for example my website: http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/ i am targeting lawsuit loans keyword so if i use <title>TNF - Lawsuit Loans | Lawsuit Funding</title> is batter to use for main page or
<title>Lawsuit Loans | Lawsuit Funding | As Low As 1% | PreSettlement Funding</title>
can we have to use main targeting keyword on all webpage title tag ?
my website have 200+ page and i have to use different title tag for that pages including targated keyword so if i am targeting lawsuit loans in that title, what is best to divide title pipe, hyphen or comma ? does capitalization in title tag wrong effect ?
- Lawsuit Loans - As low as 1%
- Lawsuit Loans | As low as 1%
- Lawsuit Loans, As low as 1%
(or i have to use smaller cash in title)
for all different page i want to place this kind of title is it best for SEO purpose
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Fargo
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Escondido
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Erie
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Flint
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Fort Wayne
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Fresno
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Gainesville
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Grand Rapids
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Gilbert
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Gresham
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans High Point
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Hialeah
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Huntsville
if i am using this kind of different title for all page then it can effective for SEO or it will be come in keyword stuffing

Hi Prince
The local-based URL you have suggested is good, but the issue is not so much with the URL but how you can effectively target these searches without local offices - at least it would seem by the fact that you don't show any addresses of offices on your site that there are not any. Is that correct?
There is an excellent set of tips from Miriam Ellis on optimising for local searches on this post: https://moz.com/community/q/what-is-the-best-way-to-optimise-the-website-of-a-service-area-business-websites-for-local-search
The essential thing if you want to optimise for local searches is to show local citations of an office in that area. As Miriam says:
The most important thing for SABs (Service Area Businesses) to understand is that Google is heavily biased toward physical location. SABs must have at least one physical location in order to seek inclusion in Google's local index. This can be a home address - that's just fine! But it cannot be a virtual address, P.O. box, etc. And it should not be shared by any other business.
Is this site for a company who operate totally online or from just one phone number which could for anyone knows be offshore? If it is, you are not going to be successful with this strategy if you have no local offices that someone can walk into and buy the service. If it is an online only service being operated then your whole site should reflect that and you should market the site along those lines - with quality unique content being on the site answering the questions people may be searching for - based on the service you are offering.
The Title tag you suggest is OK for a home page yes although it's a little diluted and the "As low as 1%" would be of more value in the Description meta tag. No one will be searching for that key phrase. I don't think these days there is much difference with using pipe, hyphen or comma.
Sorry again to sound like I am being harsh on what you are trying to do. I think you are genuine guy trying to do their best, but with all the hard work you are putting in to this site you are better to direct it at making the site work well for you and your client.

so for that i have to build perfect website with some new relevant content and quality article. and wordpress platform is batter to build a responsive and good website, thanks for help so using keyword in url tag is not much useful, so if i want to perform SEO for local search then url like lawsuit-funding-columbus.html is not a good choice or what?
but i was ask something about title tag, so what kind of title tag are more effective.?
<title>Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans High Point</title>
or
<title>Lawsuit Loans | Lawsuit Funding | As Low As 1% | Pre Settlement Funding</title>
have to use pipe, hyphen or comma to separate keyword

The issue Prince with adding nofollow tags to those links is that the search engines will then not follow them and if you have no other links to those pages then they will not be indexed.

Hi Prince
My best advice for SEO is as I said before: focus on creating quality content about lawsuit loans grow your business and website by doing that and through social media.
SEO tricks and tactics won't help the site and will quite possibly hurt it. SEO today is not really about tactics but being strategic and is about having a high quality content strategy that engages with the information people are looking for and not gaming keywords.
The problem is with your pages in general. The inside pages of your site look like they contain a lot of duplicate content, e.g.
http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-lasvegas.html v http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-cleveland.html
and
http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-cleveland.html v http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-columbus.html
You have sentences like: _In Cincinnati, the process of lawsuit is often very time consuming and long. _Is that really true and unique of Cincinatti? Surely that would be true of most places.
If I am honest it looks like you have used a content spinner to generate the content on the pages on each of the cities and states. For example on the Columbus page it says: If any plaintiff’s need money and cannot wait to get money from the lawsuit, Lawsuit Funding Cincinnati is here for help.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time Prince. I understand you want to do the best for your client and your client will require you do the best for them. That best is not using the tactics you are now because as I say, these tactics will not help your site to rank for local search in these cities - speak to Miriam Ellis on Moz as she is an expert on local SEO - and at worst you will get hit my warnings from Google.
Sorry, but I hope that helps.

but client don't want to do any kind of changes in that page, so any other best suggestion for that ? i will add no follow tag for that all page links, so suggest me some ideas for best SEO for this website

Hi, I am not sure what to suggest to you other than to be cautious with the way you are optimising your site.
You have posted a few questions on this forum and you are obviously trying hard to SEO you site, but you could run into difficulty and put in a lot of effort with little or no results.
I had a look at your site: topnotchlawsuitloans.com and the tactics you are using will not work. For example, creating custom pages for Lawsuit Loans <city name="">or <state name="">(see attached screenshot) without local offices in those cities and states will not work and is likely to be seen as very spammy by Google.</state></city>
My best advice is to focus on creating quality content about lawsuit loans grow your business and website by doing that and through social media.
I hope that helps,
Peter

H1 tag within on top nav but css class styled appear at bottom
Hi, Sorry the similar question could have been ask previously but I couldn't get an exact answer. Someone put a h1 tag on our homepage (which do not have before) and the is within the top nav. But it has a css style class in that h1 tag to make it appear at the bottom of the page so not everyone would be aware of that small h1 title. I personally do not think that's going to help with seo. However I want to know if this practice is going to be: beneficial, or not at all? or harmful instead? Thanks LM

How to make my site title H1?
Hi In my Header.php I have the following php code for my title: <title><br /><?php<br />// Generate Page Title dynamically<br />if (is_home()) {<br /> bloginfo('name'); ?> - <?php bloginfo('description');<br />} elseif (is_category()) {<br /> single_cat_title(); ?> - <?php bloginfo('name');<br />} elseif (is_single()) {<br /> single_post_title();<br />} elseif (is_page()) {<br /> bloginfo('name'); ?>: <?php single_post_title();<br />} elseif (is_404()) {<br /> bloginfo('name'); ?> - <?php _e("Page not found", "fungames");<br />} elseif (is_search()) {<br /> bloginfo('name'); ?> - <?php _e("Search results for", "fungames"); echo esc_html($s, 1);<br />}<br />?><br /></title> This generates a good title different for every page/post I have on my site. But is now H1. I want the same code if, but with H1 tag somewhere in it. Cant figure it out how to do it! Can u help please?

Linking to an image with the keyword in the title and alt tags.
Hi guys, Just thought I'd ask for opinions about an ecommerce catalog I'm working on. I don't know if it's even worth worrying about, but here's the scenario. Let's say I'm linking to a category called 'Sale' using an image, I have the title tag of the link as 'Sale', the image title is also 'Sale' as well as the alt tag. The HTML looks like this: Sale The page itself is: http://www.fashionbasicsonline.com/catDisplay So my question is, do you think I'm stuffing the keyword in too many times there? It's CMS driven so I could have the alt tag as 'Sale Products' or one of the titles as 'Sale Catalog' perhaps, do you think there would be a benefit in doing that? Maybe it's microoptimisation and I should be looking at other low hanging fruit, but I'm just trying to come up with the best scenario. Would love to hear what you think. Cheers, Bruce p.s. Looking forward to meeting as many people as possible at MozCon next week 🙂

Duplicate Page Title
Virtually all of my pages are coming up with a "Duplicate Page Title" error even though the page title are different. I assume this is down to the end of the page title having the company name. Is this the reason and is it a problem to have a page title like below... "Page title description - Company Name"

Meta Title and Description for click through optimization
I have a few years experience optimizing PPC text for click-through and conversion rates. I don't see many web sites that are using these methods for their organic listings generated from meta tags. Why is this? So many meta tags seem to be either keyword stuffed or auto generated. From my research, it seems that keywords in meta tags mean little to search engine optimization other than the fact that vertically aligning keywords from search phrase to listing to landing page is important. (Just like it is in PPC). Now that I am personally doing more than just PPC, I have begun rewriting meta text for increased conversions. The search results look to me like My web site is the only one doing this. Is everyone missing out on something, or am I missing something?

Canonical Tag
I've been helping someone out with their website, and I noticed the person who built the site made the canonical tags like this:
Web Design | | StandUpCubicles
href="http://www.example.com/" rel="canonical" /> I'm use to seeing it how seomoz does it: Does this matter? Is it ok to have it inverted? They also have another canonical tag in there like this:
var hs_canonical_url = "http\x3A\x2F\x2Fwww.example.com\x2Fhome" Any idea what that is? Could it be hurting the site?0 -
