Question Does Google count all keywords from
very long title tags? lttitlegtkeyword1 keyword2
keyword3 keyword 30lt/titlegt
Answer It's recommended to limit the title tag
to 65-70 characters (depending on the chars
width) so that Google could display the whole
title in its search results. But you can set much
longer title and it looks like Google can show
the page even when seaching for the 26th word in
the text that contain 311 characterss.
Summary That has also been changing over time.
In 2010 those test results were the same but in
the same year Google make the limit shorter and
displayed the page only for the 18 first words
and 215 characters. The test wasn't done on much
longer titles so it's hard to say what the
maximum limit is. NOTICE Even though Google will
display your website for keywords in such a long
titme tag, it's very risky to do that. Google may
find it keyword stuffing and punish your website.
