I find that SEO is such a tricky area and there are so many ’specialists’ offering to optimise peoples’ sites or ‘get them to the top of Google.’ To me, it is all about laying the foundations first with an easy to use, representative site so that any traffic is not only relevant to what you offer, but actually starts a dialogue with them.

@Gary – HAHA! Right on…we do all make mistakes. And it appears you’ve found the key to a happy marriage…leading your wife to believe that you accept that it’s “usually” you, whether you actually believe it or not.

Alysson,

I assumed you accidentally forgot to turn bold off. I noticed your comment looked ‘odd’ but unless asked to, I leave them how they arrive.

Jim,
Glad we’re all on the same page now. Mistaking the visible title on the page for the “page title” is a pretty common mistake, so I’m glad we got some clarification.

Just as a side note, not all comments sections allow for html. Yours does…so my last comment doesn’t read as it should. My bad!

Jim,

It IS the title tag (as it appears in the browser’s top bar) that counts and not the actual post title.

The posts title may have a small amount of sway, but it’s the title tag that’s most relevant.
