Google will only associated the anchor text to the first link discovered on a given page to a specific URL target. If the first anchor text is "golf" the second anchor text is irrelevant.

I believe the link you wish to share is: http://usablelayout.com/articles/automatically-break-out-iframe.

I would like to clarify what you mean by capitalizing each key word.

If you mean representing the entire word in capital letters such as MICROSOFT then, no. I believe Google has measures to prevent that action in AdWords. I would not use the method in title tags either.

If you mean MicroSoft or Microsoft where you capitalize the first letter of each word, then yes I would recommend that action for adwords, titles and even tweets. You are properly calling attention to the keyword which can be helpful for users.

I believe Sha's answer drills down to the root issue and addresses the original question best.

Actually I will correct my original response.

On Mar 22, I filed a reconsideration request. The site involved had received a manual penalty from Google which had previously been confirmed by Google in writing.

On April 2nd, I received a response from Google via WMT titled "We've processed your reconsideration request".

The response stated "We've now reviewed your site. When we review a site, we check to see if it is in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines. If we don't find any problems, we'll reconsider our indexing of your site."

Immediately upon receipt of that message, I was able to find the site had been added to Google's index.

I have only filed one reconsideration request this year. It was a 3 week response time.

I agree with your assessment James.

Before I accept this information I would like to ask if you are aware of any other similar examples of lightbox use on a page with better stats? The DA of this page is only 31, and PA is 1. I would like to rule out the idea Google may crawl deeper if the page was deemed more important.

I am not able to confirm the issue you are describing. I have looked up multiple pages with titles of lengths between 65 - 70 characters and they appear completely in SERPs. I suspect the issue you are reporting is specific to a particular character in your URL. I understand you shared there are not any special characters, but there must be something unique about your URLs which cause this problem. Google fully supports longer titles then you are able to achieve.

Perhaps a compromise. Can you share the URL and search term used on one of these other pages which are being cut off under 60 characters?

As I shared above, it entirely depends on the title.

Without looking at the actual information involved it's kind of like describing a list of symptoms to a doctor. "I have a headache" could be nothing, could be a brain tumor. We need to see the "patient" i.e. the web page and keyword, in order to properly diagnose the issue. Otherwise we are guessing blindly.

I don't wish to side track this thread but I have worked with Zoo and to the best of my knowledge you can change the titles just fine.

Zoo > Blog > Items > Name is the article title

On the right side Config > Page Title is the field to control page title

If you have an example of what you feel can't be done, feel free to e-mail me: Ryan@Vitopian.com and I can take a better look.

If you can offer an exact keyword search and URL, we can probably offer a conclusive diagnosis.

A possibility is one or more of the characters is being converted to a character which cannot be displayed properly. This type of conversion requires multiple characters to represent the single character (i.e. replacing with %E1 so it takes 3 character spaces rather then 1).
