Title Tag Length & How Google Will Display It

Hi Folks

A wee quickie blog. More a piece of information about and a link to a tool I found and I want to pass it on.

This is mainly because of a blog I published on Titles and Permalinks last week.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/robert-a/blog/does-your-title-describe-your-article

Since then I have been asked a few times what is the recommended length of a title before it is chopped off by the search engines. Anyone asking this question would of course receive more than one reply because of the Pixels involved that make up the actual words.

However there is a tool that will show you what a search engine sees and does with long titles.

You will find it here

There you go and give it a go. At the very least it will give you an idea how short or long you should keep your Post Titles. There are lots of useful links on the page as well as detailed explanations of the Title Tag. Take the time to read them.

Hello Jeff. There are lots of web pages and blogs within WA giving you all sorts of info so I'm not surprised you would have seen something similar before.

Hi old buddy and where have you been hiding?
Hope you find the tool of some help but then an old hand like yourself wont need much help.
But if you do then the tool is an excellent addition to your arsenal.

Thank you Robert, this tool will be very helpful going forward. I tend to write titles that are too long, so this will help me stick to the words that are important for blog post and page titles. :-)

Hi Wendy and thank you for your input.
You as a writer will know about having a good title but as you say in your Bio its the technical side of things that can sometimes have you stumped.
Hope my other blog and this one will be of some use to you.
Of course if you get stuck then drop me a PM and I will do my best to point you in the right direction.
Have a great Sunday.
Robert

Thank you Robert,
I will definitely take you up on that when I get stumped. :-)
Wendy

Long enough to drill down to need components in the keyword to facilitate traffic gathering!

Hi Mike and thank you for stopping by.
All info pertaining to due process and good practice is always helpful as long as that info is taken onboard and acted on.

Robert

Good to know. I will check it out. Thanks!

Jessica, haven't seen you around my blogs for a wee while so thank you for reading this one.
Its a good toll Jessica and gives you a good idea what your potential customers will see.
Of course however long your title is if you read my other blog mentioned above you can still have a long title at the top of your post after you have chopped it in the permalink box.
Have a great Saturday.
Robert

Thanks Robert. I have been really busy. That is how summertime in Alaska goes. Two weddings, family visiting etc.

No probs Jessica and you must get your priorities right because you MUST have a life away from WA.
Enjoy your Sunday coz its the day of rest so put your feet up.
Robert

I already got a new post up since I commented here, and updated another. Thanks Robert.

Jessica it must be close on Midnight where you are and you should be fast asleep.
Well done you hard at it and progressing.
Be successful.
Robert

Yes, it is 11:49. I finished the post hours ago. I was just cleaning the fish tank! I had a day of rest finally and slept all afternoon so I am good!

Time for bed now then?
Tomorrows another day so plenty of time to get things done but you wont if you're dead tired.
Its just coming up to 9.am here and I'm off out for a few hours.
Catch you again.
Take care.
Robert

Thanks Robert.
