Jun 21, 2016 at 19:52 comment added pro_ng Considering there are other occurrences of the word meme on your page, you can go with MemesHappen. Google is smart enough to single out the keyword while matching its relevance
Jun 21, 2016 at 19:38 comment added Ahmed Widaa How Google will treat the title tags when determining which keywords are relevant. Regards
Jun 21, 2016 at 19:38 comment added Ahmed Widaa Thank you, working on a new design but will take all these points into consideration when rewriting the meta tags to imrpove CTR. Also forgot to mention that we also have added the character name after meme, so I guess we do indeed have too many things going on in the title. Just to finalize you think that Memes Happen - Top Caption Bottom Caption (#####) is superior to current <top caption> <bottom caption> meme -character name- (#####) -Memes Happen Also, I see some meta snippet preview tools that highlight the meme or memes keyword whether i use Memes Happen or MemesHappen. Is that not...
Jun 21, 2016 at 19:17 comment added pro_ng I would go with Memes Happen over MemesHappen because 1) The former is considered as separate words while the later is a single word and 2) With Memes Happen you can consider removing the extra meme added to your TITLE. As for the unique ID, you may consider keeping that.
Jun 21, 2016 at 18:58 comment added Ahmed Widaa Thanks, so If I were to place the site name at the beginning, can I also link it as one word ie. MemesHappen • <top caption> <bottom caption> and currently after the top caption and bottom caption we also add the word meme to all titles. Should that be removed? And what about the meme unique id(numbers) which was added to avoid duplicates? Should that also be removed? Regards
Jun 21, 2016 at 18:18 comment added pro_ng I just had a quick look at your website and also found that for many pages, Google is adding Make a meme to the end of the title in the SERP, which I guess is to make users aware that the page is on Memes. Your titles are user generated and so ending up being too long. Also since, meme is a pretty competitive term, I would keep it somewhere at the beginning of the title followed by the caption. Something like Memes Happen - <caption>. That way you include the primary keyword at the beginning but also leave room for the caption to rank for long tail keywords including the word meme in it.
Jun 21, 2016 at 16:56 comment added Ahmed Widaa Should I replace the unique ID with a CTA like "recaption," thereby avoiding the ugly numerical meme ID which appears in titles and just link the title to make it seem more brandable. Currebtly we receive a majority of our traffic from image search with relatively few web search even though we do have quite a few keywords ranking on analytics. I mostly want to increase CTR without comprimising SERPs, hopefully they can even improve. Regards
Jun 21, 2016 at 16:53 comment added Ahmed Widaa Thanks for your response. I undersand your points, but am not sure if they would apply exactly to my site. I have a meme generator. Currently tiltes are dynamically generated from user captions so title: <top caption> <bottom caption> Meme <unique id[avoid duplicates]> | Memes Happen (site name) depending on captions, some titles are naturally quite long. Although meme is the main keyword, we rank gor long tail kws using both caption and meme as well as some using caption and memes. What would i do in such an instance. I am considering linking the brandname instead of 2 seperate words...
