Probably not. I like to read concise material and fluffy titles generally lead to fluffy content.Quote:

I gave you what I would be searching for.Quote:

By searching this way I have eliminated what?
Chicken coops made from steel.
Chicken coops that are huge.
Chicken coops that are completed to build.
Chicken coops that are blue.
Chicken coops that take more then one day to build.
Buy searching "building a chicken coop" I would get all the above in results. You call that fluff sorry I disagree.
In my way of thinking I was being very precise in what I was wanting in a chicken coop that I would be wanting to build.

Examples of my blog titles:
Windows XP Downgrades Now Aavailable For The Life of Windows 7
Make SSH Connections from the Droid Using ConnectBot
What are Proxy Lists?
I've always gone for both long and short. I mix it up.
As long as the webmaster isn't just keyword stuffing.Quote:

If you want SEO traffic then you gotta write for KWs that get a decent search volume...and optimize your title for that... you have to give them the KW in the first 30-40 chars in title...
In fact, in the SERPs the matching KWs are bolded... this naturally draws eyeballs...if your title doesnt have all the keywords in the first 65 chars then you will lose those eyeballs..
What you need to remember is that Google analyzes each keyword separately and the results displayed will probably not be what you want anyway. Results may include "Building a Chicken Coop," which may somewhere talk about building a chicken coop using a red hammer and in fact discuss the construction of a purple chicken coop. Results may also include "How to Build a Chicken Coop," which may somewhere talk about why steel is better than chicken wire.Quote:

Furthermore, as a website owner, you should be attempting to attract as many people as you can. By promoting really specific content, you are excluding those who are after something a) broader (me!) or b) different (the majority of people). You would be excluding people who did not want a red and green chicken coop. You would be excluding people who did not want a chicken coop made out of chicken wire or metal wood. You would be excluding people who did not want a small chicken coop. You would therefore be excluding more people than you would be attracting, unless these conditions are all customary (i.e. How to Break an Egg that is Currently in a Shell and Definitely has Egg on the Inside), in which case your end-user would probably question the authority that your resource carries.
This being said, hard and fast rules cannot be given on what you should do. I would either present my raw keyword as a title, or give the end-user something that they would want to read (including the keyword) which still attracts a broad audience.
It is BLEKKO and not blikko.
If you are searching and you want specific information, or a specific search phrase. then do this:
Put your search between " "
So "build a chicken coop in a day" would give you more direct searches than:
build a chicken coop in a day
I'm allowed to make a typo every once in a while, no? :pQuote:

The title would read something like this.
:DQuote:
yourdomain.com: Building a chicken coop: metal, wood, chicken wire, simple to do, easy instructions, how to, red, green, make in a day,
All that was done here is remove "from" "and" "super"
It is still longer them the 65 characters
However I do not know if those three words will make a difference "from" "and" "super" will test that on my next site.
I would prefer that my title reads as a sentence.
Again In closing I feel that you will NOT get penalized by Google for the length of your title as long as Google thinks it's relevant. :)

Hi,
After thought now wouldn't they get to your article even if they did all these short searches.
how to build a chicken coop
how to build a chicken coop out of wood
how to build a chicken coop out of metal
how to build a chicken coop out of chicken wire
how to build a red chicken coop
Building a chicken coop out in a day
Simple plans to build a chicken coop
And so on. All are relevant on the article that is on the site.
And if dummy me was searching for "Super simple and easy instructions on how to build a red and green chicken coop from metal wood and chicken wire that can be made in a day."
I should get to also.
It don't make seance to me to take the time to write an article and not try to get people to it every way you can.
Sami
Hi,
Second Another after thought Amazon and other sites are maximizing all possible ways that people could search for a topic and they are using long title to make that happen.
