<translate><!--T:14-->
The title tag is found in the head portion of your pages. This title tag becomes the clickable title in search engine result pages (SERPs). A title should be under 70 characters in length. It should also include your keywords for the specific page, as close to the start of the title tag as possible.</translate>

Google recommends that you create ''unique, descriptive page titles to describe to searchers what the page is about''.</translate>

<translate><!--T:3-->
If a page title is not specified or if Google determines that the title is not appropriate, a more relevant title will be presented. In the screenshot below you can see the page title for this page (in large blue text).</translate>
