Episode 51 of the SEO & Social Media Tips Podcast looks at the Title Tag and why it's important. I'm a big believer that the Title Tag is the second most important thing on a website with the main content being the first. It's something the people see, read and react to by clicking and you can find title tags within the search results and all over Social Media. In this podcast I talk about writing a great Title Tag that will attract clicks and some of the mistakes that I've seen over the years. During the podcast I mention the Yoast and SEO Ultimate plugin for the Wordpress content management system which are both excellent at giving you a bit more control on the text with the title. https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-ultimate/ Here's some further reading about the Title Tag: WEBINAR: Increase clicks to your website.
