Meta Title

The Meta Title tag is very important “real estate” in search engine
optimization as it is the page first content that a search engine
spider’s encounters on each page indexed by a search engine. In fact,
those first words in the Meta title tag are extremely important; I
would venture to say the first five or six words are of the utmost
importance when optimizing a page. The longer the tile length the
less relevant the words are in it. Another word the further down the
title a word is the less relevant it is. Words or phrases closer to the
beginning of the Meta title the more relevant they are. You can take
this advice to the bank; it is easily proven by performing searches for
keyword and phrases. Below is an example of two keyword searches one showing a higher
ranking because the targeted word is closer to the beginning of the
meta title, and another than ranks a lot further down with the same
keywords, with the exception being the keyword phrase is used
further down in the meta title
