How to Define Best Structure of Title Tag and Meta Description?
-
I want to define best structure of Title Tag and Meta Description for my eCommerce website. There are too many categories over there and many be increase in near future.
There are 7K+ products live on website so, it's quite hard to develop Title Tag and Meta Description for all product pages. That's why I have set automatic Title Tag and Meta Description creation with help of developers.
I want to do similar stuff for my category pages. Can anyone suggest me structure of Title Tag and Meta Description which suppose to help me in well over Google's organic result.
I have define structure as follow.
Title Tag:
Category Name: FREE Shipping & Discount Category Name | Vista Stores
Meta Description:
Category Name with FREE shipping, 100% price guarantee, Buy and save 20% to 40% on attractive, modern and discount Category Name.
Meta Keywords:
Category Name
I also want to give real time example with specific URL. (http://www.vistastores.com/69_21/outdoor/patio-umbrellas.html)
Category Name = Patio Umbrellas so with help of above structure Title Tag and Meta Description will be as follow.
Title Tag:
Patio Umbrellas: FREE Shipping & Discount Patio Umbrellas | Vista Stores
Meta Description:
Patio Umbrellas with FREE shipping, 100% price guarantee, Buy and save 20% to 40% on attractive, modern and discount Patio Umbrellas.
Meta Keywords:
Patio Umbrellas
So, Does it matter for good performance? If any inputs in same direction so I am eager to read it.

How your tags are generated are not considered in any form. Your e-commerce solution can automatically generate the tags, or you can manually create them.
The content of the tags themselves are what's important, not how they are created.

Oh great. BTW: Automatic Meta info creation will not mesh up my organic ranking. Right??

Meta Keywords should not be used at all. They offer absolutely no SEO value. It is simply extra HTML code which needs to be processed every time a page loads.
For the title tag, there are two considerations: ranking and CTR. From a pure ranking perspective, your title should be short and focus on unique keywords or phrases people will use to locate your page. Example: "Patio Umbrellas" or "Patio Umbrellas | Vista Stores".
From a CTR perspective "Free Shipping" is attractive, but I would recommend using that phrase as the first words of your meta description, not the title tag. Example of Meta Description: "FREE Shipping on Discounted Patio Umbrellas. 100% Price Guarantee!. Buy today and save 20-40% on attractive, modern Patio Umbrellas."

It looks like there are several title tags on my homepage. This was done presumably to embed titles for pop up windows. This is causing an error report in DMOZ. Do the engines also veiw this negatively?
My homepage has a normal title tag, but when I look in the code I find the developer also added title tags for pop ups within the homepage code. Is this causing an issue with the search engines?

Which is better, have our location in the title or have a title that is 66 characters?
I was told by an SEO company that I need to put our name and location in every page title, however, an seomoz.org campaign gave me warnings for having a page title that is too long. Which is better, have our location in the title or have a title that is 66 characters? We have both a physical and online store, so it would still be nice to direct foot traffic to our physical store.

Title and Url Agreement
In the case of trying to hit a wide taxonomy, is it better to keep your title and URL in agreement, or to vary them slightly for exact search matching. For instance this blog post which has the following url: http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/blog/build-your-own-standing-desk/ has the title "Make a Stand Up Desk - Better Working, Longer Living" The ideas is that build and make are similar words and "stand up" and "standing" are also similar. So what is the better way to go?
