Would you consider this title to be keyword stuffing or bad?
-
A competitor uses the following format for all of their meta titles:
[Store Name] Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | [Website Name]
They do vary their titles slightly, depending on which keywords are searched for, for the particular store.
What do you think about this title? I'm torn between it looking a little 'stuffy' but them also getting across the point that their page offers all of that.

I wouldn't consider it keyword stuffing, reads pretty naturally, but it also looks like the same thing everyone else does... how would that stand out in these SERPs? What would make someone click yours over someone else's on this ultra dull list? Literally no one stands out.

Hi Vick,
To be sure I understand it correctly, the titles look like this
Olive Garden Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | ThisSite.com
Walmart Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | ThisSite.com
BestBuy Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | ThisSite.comIn such case that makes perfect sense to me.
Title 1 would be going for keywords like:- Olive Garden Voucher Codes
- Olive Garden Cashback
- Olive Garden Discount Codes
And depending on the [sites name] they could actually have more keyword combos using this method.
Your concern is valid, and this site may have an issue if they were just trying to target broader keywords like "Voucher Codes" & "Discount Codes". Since those keywords have a broader scope, and they are repeated on many pages search engines may have a trouble assigning a certain page to those search terms. However, those keywords while broader may have less search volume then the targeted keywords.
My thoughts,
Don

No, it seems fine to me, tells me what you are up to - keyword stuffing is more along the lines of:
Dress, Best Dresses, White Dresses, Green Dresses | Dress Shop
Which believe it not people still do...

It certainly displays what they do. It isn't key word stuffing either. Personally, I would prefer it to look like...
Voucher Codes | Cash-back | Discount Codes - [Website Name]
Just personal preference. Does yours need the store name as well?

Page Title Length
Hi Gurus, I understand that it is a good practice is to use 50-60 characters for the a page title length. Google appends my brand name to the end of each title (15 characters including spaces) it index. Do I need to count what google adds as part of the maximum recommended length? i.e.

is the maximum 50-60 characters + the 15 characters brand name Google adds to the end of the title or 50-60 including the addition? Many thanks!

Wordpress 'Hide Title' Feature, does this help shorten title length
Im wondering if anyone with some Wordpress experience can help me. I am using Yoast to create my page titles, but yet Moz tells me that my page titles including my actual page title tag which is 'dumfries wedding photography | Hemera Visuals' by clicking on the 'hide title' feature in wordpress will this in turn stop wordpress from automatically adding my page title and therfor bring my title length down drastically? And if so will I have to wait till google next crawls my page to see if this works? Kind Regards Cameron.

Impact of rogue keyword in content
I have a page that is optimised - title, URL, content etc for the chosen keywords. However, within the content are some batches of bullet point text that has repeated text throughout. So for example I have 5 instances of my chosen keyword within the content and 24 instances of the two word text within the bullet points. Does this kind of scenario have any impact on ranking?

Are My footer links bad?
I started working here recently, they said the footer links were to help with navigation of their most popular products. I am curious after reading http://www.seomoz.org/blog/internal-linking-strategies-for-2012-and-beyond if having these footer links could hurt the ranking of those key words after the penguin update. I am looking more into the analytics, and have not seen a negative impact yet.
