Here is a post I read on Jim Boykin's SEO blog (http://www.jimboykin.com/pay-yahoo-to-remove-your-title-tag/) today:


When filling out the form for submitting your site to the Yahoo, it is required that: (according to this page (http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/dir/ctd/ctd-01.html) )

"If your site is commercial, the title submitted must be the company name. Any request to change a business name to something other than its actual name will not be accepted. "

So if my company name is "Bob Jones Inc." then there is no debate about what my Title will be.

I can understand (maybe) if this was how you show names in a DIRECTORY LISTING (as in a phone book, since you know you’re in the correct Category when you’re digging down).

BUT, I can’t understand why I’d pay you $299 to take away my coded title tag of what might be "Bob Jones Sells Gas Grills and Cooking Supplies - Free Shipping" and replace it with "Bob Jones Inc." in a SEARCH RESULT PAGE.

This guy runs We Build Pages (http://www.webuildpages.com/) and just launched this blog maybe a week ago. He certainly knows what he is doing, definately some good info on it: http://www.jimboykin.com/

Not seen that site before, his blog was a good read and some of the tools look handy, nice find.

Its brand new, just launched the blog last week. From everything I've read from other professional SEO's this guy knows what he is doing -- it definately shows.
