Your title should be SEO friendly. But question is that how you can write an SEO friendly title and what is meant by SEO friendly title. SEO friendly title means your title covers SEO requirements.
There are some SEO friendly requirements for SEO title.
- Post title must contain one main keyword of your post.
- Post title should not more than 64 characters.
- Title should be related to post.
How to Write Meta Description
Post description is very important for search engine optimization of your blog post. To write down a SEO friendly description you must keep some points in mind.
- Your post description must be 120 characters minimum.
- Post description should start with a keyword.
- Do not use all keywords in description.
Keywords Selection for SEO
Keywords are the most important part of search engine optimization. In this case I suggest you to select 5 possible keywords for your article. And use them randomly in your article.

Hi Mubashir,
This is an informative one on SEO
But, you said: Your post title must be 120 characters minimum.
will you please tell me whats the maximum? Since I most of the
time i do post a lengthy one, will that be a hindrance?
Would like to hear from you.
Nice that I found you at one of my friends’ place.
Keep informed.
Have a Happy and Joyous New Year 2014
Hi Philip,
Oh at that point I have mentioned 120 characters title length is not correct. Actually that was my typo error. The information is related to Meta Description. Meta description length should be minimum 120 characters and maximum of 160 characters.
On the other hand when you writing your post then you should write a minimum of 300 words post. And there is no maximum limit of post.
Thanks for your comment
Hi Mubashir,
Thanks a lot for the quick response.
Title should be a maximum of 64 characters
OMG! I failed here, since most of my post titles carry many characters. 🙂
Keep writing
Best Regards and Good Wishes for a Blessed and prosperous New Year 2014
