Description
Title tags are largely considered the most important on page optimization technique that can be applied to a web site. This is in part because the title really does explain the whole overall purpose of the page and is also used often when linking to a page.
Title tags should describe what your page is about and target the main keyword(s) for that particular page. Your title tags should be short and concise. It is generally a good rule of thumb to try to use 10 words or less.
It is important to also remember that your title tags do have value beyond just actually helping a site rank on the search engines. Title tags can also benefit by being creative and interesting which will help in the click ratios on search engines and social sites.

I aways think title tag is very important to seo.but, some seoer ues many many key words in title tag now! Is no good idea!
1st of all i wanna say I like the website.. the design is professional and the idea is nice..
Good work
Then , for the title tag we all know it's the 1st thing the spiders will look at, and the user also.. but in sometimes the website owner refuse 2 put so many words - may be the website name only - in this case we will lose a big factor of the SEO 4 that site, so what shall we do in this case.
I could be mistaken, but I believe the first thing the spiders look at is the name of the page. Never the less, page title is extremely important.
