In SEO, Google is the 600lb Gorilla that you have to wrestle with. Due to all the spammers out there, Google has to constantly update and tweak their algorithms to try to provide the most relevant results and to block spammers from gaining top positioning. Because of this, it is very difficult to achieve a number one position for a targeted phrase and keep it there. One thing that I have noticed after watching a couple very competitive keywords and a client’s positioning over the past couple months is that about every two weeks there is a significant transition in positioning.

In this article, I'm going to show you step-by-step how to create search engine optimized Titles and META Tags. This is a two part article. This part discusses the Title Element, also known as the Title Element.

The TITLE Element

TITLE elements, (commonly called TITLE Tags), are one of the most important factors that search engines "look" at when it comes to determining the relevancy of a web page against a search query. In their ranking algorithms, nearly all the major search engines attribute a high relevancy weight to the content of the TITLE tag.
