Keyword stuffing This scenario tends to overlap with

[bhasan01854]

Scenario #1: Simple truncation (...) Google can only fit so much on one line. That limit has changed over the years, but the basic fact remains. In many cases, <title> tags are just too long, and that’s not always a bad thing or necessarily spammy. Here’s one example and its corresponding search result: This is a wordy <title> tag and we could certainly argue the merits of academic vs. marketing copy, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with or spammy about it.


It simply doesn’t fit the available space, and Google has to account for that. Scenario lebanon gambling data #2: Complex truncation (...) Even prior to the recent update, we saw a less common variant of this scenario, where Google would truncate a title and then append the brand after the “...”: In this example, Google truncated the tag with “...” but then re-inserted the brand. Note that the original pipe (|) was replaced with a hyphen (-).


Scenario #3: Rewrite truncation More recently (and possibly beginning with the August 16th update), Google is truncating long titles without displaying ellipses (...) and, in some cases, taking the display title from other elements of the page. For example: This text actually appears in the middle of the <title> tag, but it’s possible that it was extracted from somewhere else on the target page. I would argue that this is a pretty successful truncation that serves the search query (in this case, “Dodd Frank”).


Scenario #4: 1-3 — sometimes titles are too long and have clearly been stuffed with keywords. I can’t speak to anyone’s motivations, but here’s an example that seems pretty egregious: Mistakes were made, etc. Interestingly, this rewrite seems to be pulled from an <H2> on the page, but an entire paragraph is wrapped in that <H2>. These are fun. Let’s do another one: This reminds me of that joke, “An SEO walks into a bar, grill, tavern, pub, public house…”.
