SEO and "& # 44 ;" in the title

[Jenny]

[QUOTE=olderscot]

i.e. in google, "Sport-shoe-bags" would rank for each of the 3 words and all three combined. "Sport_shoe_bags" would also score for each of the 3 words but also for "Sports" as Google doesn't consider the underscore to end the word and allows them to run together.

surely in this case it is better to have underscores?


what about 'the' in the page name eg the_page_name.html?
Which is the next request that I have been asked to do.

The ask if they mean Page Names "thisansthat.html" or Page Titles "Online Catalog selling this and that".

Sounds like an SEO going through the motions. Ask what they think about alt tags?

Gary, it's the page names eg the_page_name.html

alt tags? That must be the in the next email.

It won't be a problem for the search engines as they'll know what they're seeing and ignore it. A bigger problem for me is that if there's a comma then his title is probably too long and will weaken the impact of any keywords he has in it. I'm sure his SEO advisor has already told him this.

At the end of the day it's up to him. The search engines will just take whatever you give them.

so I fail to see where a page name can hamper a page rank as (well i understood it to be) it's the title that the search engine looks at

c'mon... it's only one of many factors - you know that Gary!
