- The Complete Guide to Mastering Your Title Tags
- By Stoney G deGeyter. Pole Position Marketing, October, 9, 2012. "When it comes to on-page optimization, the title tag of any given web page is the single most important piece of optimizable real estate there is. Think of it as beach front property off the Florida Keys. Unlike other areas of a website, the optimizable space in the title tag is extremely limited but has great search visibility, which means it can really pack a punch!

The title tag represents the most powerful collection of characters on the entire web page. Assuming your site architecture is in order, if you could only make one change to a page to help it rank, I’d make the change to an unoptimized title tag. All that to say, optimizing it right is extremely advantageous!..."

- by Aaron Wall. SEO Book, November 1, 2010. "When Bing launched, one of the interesting things they did to make the organic search results appear more relevant was to use link anchor text to augment page titles (where relevant). This would mean if people searched for a phrase that was mostly in your title (but maybe your page title was missing a word or 2 from the search) then Bing might insert those words into the page title area of your listing if they were in some of the link anchor text pointing into your page..."

Many believe that the real estate in the title is just too valuable to waste on a company name. Others believe that the branding you get from placing your company name in the title is just too good to pass up. Let's dissect this a bit and then I'll let you come to your own conclusions..."
