Most people think that Google PageRank actually refers to the rank of the page.  It does, sort of… While PageRank gives you an indication of how your page may rank, it could just as easily be called Larry’s Rank.  Confused?  Here’s a funny tidbit of trivia.  Larry Page, one of the founders of Google named the PageRank after himself.  PageRank isn’t talking about your page’s rank.  It’s Larry Page’s rank.  Did you know that?  I bet you didn’t.

Until later.

Perhaps one of the most important elements on your page in terms of SEO is the title tag.  If you’re using the same title on every page, you’re mission out on a huge opportunity.  You must optimize your titles too.

While webmasters don’t have as much control over the ranking of their pages as they used to, you still need to take advantage of the power you do have.  The title tag continues to be one of the top things that Google looks at when determining the quality of your on-page factors.  Sure, there are a lot of off-page factors, like links and bookmarks and domain age etc, but you have to make the most of the on-page factors over which you still have control.  The title of the page needs to be highly targeted and use your keyword phrases when ever possible.  Repeat the phrase twice if you want, but not more than that.  A great way to do this is to make a title like this:

The Presidential Election: This Tuesday, The Presidential Election Will Finally Be Over

Eliminate unnecessary words because a long title just dilutes the keyword density.  In the example above there are a few unnecessary words, but you have to have a few otherwise you’re just repeating the same phrase twice and that looks bad to Google.  Remember to focus your keywords.  If the page you’re writing is about the election, make sure that the headline, the title, the description, the meta keywords, the ALT tags, the title attribute, the comments and the content all focus exclusively on the election.  Don’t just talk about the election and then wander off-topic and start talking about the war or the economy too much.  Otherwise the page becomes diluted and appears to be less about the election itself and appears to be more about the issues that are controlling the election.  See the difference?

If you want to talk about the war, then make a page all about the war.  That page will be more likely to be found when someone searches for war-related phrases.

Hope that helps…
