@ Colin – Welp, guess I was confusing the jargon per that post I linked to above ;). I’m so used to always talking about “Title Tags” and “Meta Descriptions” with clients, that I failed to realize “Meta Tags” includes those as well as “Meta Keyword Tags,” which I don’t think SEOs should use today! – SV

@ Lauren – Yes, schema is HIGHLY useful, although I don’t use markup on my website currently.

@ Colin McDermott – Please read this, as you’re confusing Title Tags & Meta Descriptions with META KEYWORD TAGS: http://www.wordstream.com/meta-tags

– SV

@colin McDermott – I meant only use Title Tags and Meta Descriptions. Don’t use META TAGS, which are different. – SV

1. Make sure your title tag isn’t being truncated by Google.
2. Don’t “over-update” your title tag, and check after re-crunched.
3. Google can display “what it wants,” depending on what is searched.

If you have duplicate or similar title tags, Google will show a “better” alternative.

…Nothing earth-shattering here, but a small bite for thought.

If you need help with SEO content / copywriting, there’s plenty of resources online to assist (try http://seo-hacker.com or, to keep their name up, MOZ).

I recommend no meta tags. Keywords in a heading and your slug. The rest is the great art of on-page SEO :). …Write naturally. Be informative. Keywords will work themselves in.

You can always hire me :). …But your page speed isn’t bad, considering. Good advice, odie2.

– Sean

I respectfully disagree with odie2… I avoid meta tags, because I’d rather force Google to read & crunch my content entirely, without any help.

That’s a good idea, Andrew. Why not try asking Google directly?
