Meta Titles and Descriptions for SEO

Meta titles and descriptions may be less important, but they are still vital. Critical might be to strong a word, but very important probably still applies. Why? Well, the play a role in rankings, but also in your click through rate.

When you look at results on Google for a search, the meta title represents your best opportunity to entice a viewer and get them to click into your site. While being ranked number one is obviously a good idea, people are becoming pickier about what they will click through on. Stacking six or seven keyword phrases as your meta title is not a great approach in my opinion, as it doesn’t convey anything to the person viewing the link other than there is something on the page related to the keyword in question. Personally, I prefer to stick to one keyword phrase per title, so long as it is at least three words.

Meta descriptions are another area where a practical situation arises. The meta description appears below your title in the search results. It represents an opportunity to expand upon your title. Is it critical that you do this? Probably not, but every bit helps. More importantly, your description can be used to help your rankings. Personally, I always use the first two lines of text on the page as my meta description. Obviously, you want to have the keyword phrase you are optimizing for in that text, preferably twice. By taking this approach, you highlight the phrase for the search engines and provide the reader with a clue to what is on the page.

Title Tag is the most powerful on-site SEO technique you have. What you place in the title tag should only be one thing, the exact keyword you used for the web page that you are trying to optimize. Every single web page should have it's own title tag.

Despite our best predictions with SEO you can never pin-point with accuracy which keywords from a title tag, meta description or combined occurrence of a keyword on a page search engines will use to return a relevant query.
This is why it is imperative to promote as many relevant shingles as possible for returning a page as a relevant hit for a “specific” or “broad match” search queries through using succinct titles, naming conventions or meta descriptions.
We can create all of the multiple layers in advance, but each metric will be scrutinized for trust, depth and popularity and authority, and depending on how it fares from these algorithmic litmus tests determines what degree of visibility the page receives.

I still make it a point to optimize my h1 and h2 tags because I find them useful for my visitors as well as for search engines.

meta tags in your site is very important, but of course you have to know about keyword density and keyword proximity.

Meta tags plays a vital role in SEO. While you search anything Title tag comes on the search. We should never cross the limit of characters.

You can use the SEO X ray (from SEO Book) for on-page optimization. This will ensure that your page is complete with heading and meta tags, as well as the description.
