You can help out your SEO efforts by using your keywords in the titles of your web pages. Title tags differ from Meta Tags, but they can be thought of in a similar fashion. The text which you place in the title tag (between in the page's HTML code) appears in the title bar of the user's browser. Some browsers (Internet Explorer, Opera) will append their own names to this title.

The text you use in this title tag has a big effect on the search engine ranking of your page. The crawlers used by search engines use the title tag as the title of your page in search results. If your site consists of more than just a single home page, then remember that each page which makes up your site needs to be search engine optimized. The title of each page can be used to bring in more traffic by using the keywords and key phrases your site is optimized for.

The combination of your site's content, along with these keywords and key phrases will let visitors find your site more easily using search engines - so make sure to use all of the relevant keywords and key phrases for each page on your site. A mistake commonly made by business owners when they first build a website is that they put the name of their business in the title of each page on their site. Many of your prospective customers will not even know the name of your business until they find your site.

While it might seem like a good idea to put the name of your business in the home page's title, it's probably a waste of space and keywords to place this name in the title of every page o your site. You may want to instead incorporate your keywords into these titles to get your website ranked higher in search results. Making keywords a part of your page titles and avoiding the use of words which search engines ignore (and, at and so on), you can make your page easier for your prospective customers to find - which is what it's really all about.
