• Make sure that your title is an accurate representation of your pages content.

• Each page should contain unique titles representing the content of each page.

• Titles should contain your most important keyword phrases for the page.  On some occasions, it has been noted that the titles do not begin with the keyword phrase but it appears a word or two into the title.  You may consider testing this out.

• If you do not include a title tag, Lycos will index the first 60 characters of your body as your title, so be sure that this area of your body is an appropriate title for your site.
