Elance shares some tips on how to rank well in Google and other search engines and the most important factor is a good and accurate title tag.

Make sure your ‘Title’ tags are related to the content of the site. A good title tag will include the keyword you are trying to rank that page for, and don’t forget to add your company’s name. Be aware — brevity is a virtue; Google and the rest will truncate your title tags after 65 characters including spaces.

Most search experts agree that having correct title tags is one of the top three factors that determine where a search engine will rank you. Where many people fail with their title tags is they use the same text for every page on their and they fail to properly describe the page with their title tags. Imagine going to a book store and picking a book up off the shelf with the title “True Spy Stories of the Cold War”. However, to your surprise, inside the book is a steamy romance. You, the reader, would want your money back. So spend a minute and look at the title tags of every page on your site and see if you have accurately described the page with your title tags.
