1. “Home” or “Home Page” in title tag

It may be logical or helpful to the website owner, but including “Home” or “Home Page” does not help visitors or search engines. All we really care about is what the page is about, and what it offers us. Why take up space with this non-information? You surely don’t want to rank for the terms “home” or “home page.”

2. Domain name in title tag

Including the domain name (like example.com) in the title tag is redundant and takes up prime SEO real estate. If a searcher cares what site they’ll be taken to, they can look at the green URL that’s visible in the search result before they click. And web pages are automatically going to rank very high (at the top unless something is wrong with your SEO) when people search for your domain name, whether it’s in the title tag or not. Put another way – Is it more important to tell people your website address, or to tell them about what you offer and show search engines a keyword?

3. Too long

Search engines display only the first 70 characters (about) of a web page’s title tag. The rest gets chopped off and replaced with ellipses.

4. Too short

Short and sweet can be nice, but you might as well use all the space available to tell people and search engines about the web page. Making your title tags close to – but not exceeding – 70 characters is a good way to get the most out of your title tags and optimize your chances of showing up for differentkeyword searches.

5. No keywords

The purpose of your title tag is to tell people and search engines what your web page is about. If it doesn’t include keywords, you’re doing it wrong.

Well we have almost finished our latest Charity project for Rhydymwyn Valley History Society.

This build has been a little different from our previous ones as the Society did have an original site which was tied up with another company.

We have designed the site using Joomla to ensure that the Society could take control of its own site for the first time since it was created.

We have also elected to use the renowned K2 for the project as this will enable the Society to have multiple authors for the documents. This should mean that Rhydymwyn Valley dont need to have as much information held at their head office.

We have also included an image gallery using Slimbox and Simply Gallery Pro for K2. In addition we have provided a file manager with automatic thumbnail generator and an automatic site backup creator.
