Enhancing the Wordpress title

Posted by Mehmet on March 19, 2008

A page gets better ranking when the URL includes keywoard. URL’s with keywords in them yield higher clickthroughs than URL’s without. The SERP title and site summary is a matter as well.

We can do something little to enhance the Wordpress title, so it wouldn’t be the same title on everypage.

<title>
<?php bloginfo(’name’); ?>
<?php if(is_home()) { ?>
- <?php bloginfo(’description’); ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php if(is_single()) { ?>
<?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?>
<?php if(is_404()) { ?>
- 404 Error! Page Not Found
<?php } ?>
<?php if(is_search()) { ?>
- Search Results for: <?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>
<?php } ?>
</title>

    I’ve been wanting to have the wordpress blog I download show the blog title in the subject to as many characters as possible (kind of like how Engadget does it). Is this what the advice is over here?

    Shahryar,

    Please check the title of gabfire.com. This title function has been taken in use here. Then you will have an idea that how does it work
