Changing the page title

I've been playing about with page titles, trying to figure out which are most successful.

But I have a question. If google see's teh homepage page title change regularly, will this do my homepage harm? or any other page for that matter.

Cheers

Paul

No I don't think so. Google always wecome page updation, whether it is frequent title change, description change or content change. But obviously the theme of the page should not change any time.

No I haven't heard of it being an issue. But from a useability point of view if you keep changing your titles and some one likes your site and cant bookmark it etc... then a few days later tries to find you again and simply cant.

Settle and then review every 6 months if it's a seasonal keyword check regularly and change the title to match the change in search

I made a mistake on one of my sites by changing the title. My site was ranking no1 for a keyword phrase in google and the I changed the title.

My site dropped from the lower down the SERPs because of the title change.

Moral of the story for me "Don't change titles again if it rank high"

Ummm changing the title some times does wonderss.. but there is a time to do it..

if you are building links.. and watching a rise in SERPS, but a time comes when the link power saturates somewhat.. at this time, you can tweak your titles to generate flux, thereby making more space for backlinks and then again SERPS jump up..

If your title is relevant to the site content then it is not harmful that you are making changes frequently.

Google always prefer content updation.
I don't think that Title and Description change is a part of content updation.
May be I am wrong,but that's what I feel.

Title is in the top 3 for google's on-page algo imho.

I have taken supplementals pages out of supplementals and poor ranking pages/kw's exponentially higher by changing titles.

Sometinme just by adding a buffer word like changing 'blue widgets' to 'find blue widgets' made positive changes.

The key is to not have any one page title the same as the other. This will have potential negative effects becaus of the assumption of duplicate content. Especially if you have a large site.

This includes using your company name as a static element.

So don't do this - 'My Company Name - blue widget'
'My Company Name - red widgets'.

You're not wrong when you say that changing titles some times works great, I've seen this many times even with slight changes.
