Welcome to Friday everyone!

Here is a bit of information regarding character limits on <Title> tags.

As you should already know if you are reading this, the Title tag is what gets displayed in the blue bar at the top of your browser window as well as the Title that is displayed on search engines like Google.

Now this tag is a very important one that can greatly affect your SEO on any page on any site, and there are some limits to its use.

The main issue is the length. The maximum you can use that will be shown in any browser is about 124 characters, but on search engines like Google the limit that is shown is as short as 60 characters.

Your best optimization bet is to use around 60-72 characters for a Title tag. That way you can insure that the title you want people to see will actually be visible.

Also remember  to always use a keyword rich and descriptive title. Each page should have the title optimized for the specific content it contains to get the best results.
