I was only giving an opinion, so it doesn't mean I'm right. I just found that long titles never helped me with the search engines, and they made my listings look bad.

It would seem a title longer than 5-7 words would<br /> seem long to me, but that is just me. <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/smile.png" title="Smiling" alt="Smiling" class="smiley-content" /></p> <p>My best advice is to use a meaningful title with a few solid keywords, but to avoid a long list or a never-ending description. <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/smile.png" title="Smiling" alt="Smiling" class="smiley-content" /></p> Fri, 05 Nov 1999 17:40:00 +0000 John Pollock comment 1011504 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/length-title-tag-length-title-tag-posted-jeff-rus#comment-1011507 <p>Keep in mind that when the search engines display your ranking they sometimes show what you have in your title tag - they normally cut off this text after about 250 characters so by this point you should have explained what the current page is about.<br /> JP</p> <p>----------<br /> <strong>[red]The Next Step in Website Development [/red] - <a href="http://www.what-next.com" class="bb-url">http://www.what-next.com</a></strong><br /> <strong>The Webmaster Promotion and Resource Center</strong></p> Fri, 05 Nov 1999 05:26:00 +0000 JP Stones comment 1011507 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
