How many words should I have in my title text, with a keyword density of 20 - 35 percent?

Thanks

I've heard it's 60, but it might be best kept to around 45-50 characters. You don't want to have a keyword like "assault" to come out as "***" lol

Most SEO Tools will recommend 6 - 12 words, and 20 - 35% keyword sensitive.

most engine results will not display more than 50-60 characters. i did a test once and for google....the sky is the limit for character length....i stopped testing at over 300 characters. so its more of a 'sensible' limit than a practical one.
