We have just completed a redesign of our website and moved it over to DNN, however I am in two minds about how best to approach the titling of pages. As you know if you specify a title for a page that title is used on that page, if however you do not specify a title DNN creates one for you in the form of root > node > node > etc.

If for example we had a page called 'Latest Offers' that sat in home/products/ we would by default get a title of 'Home > Products > Latest Offers' - is this better from an SEO perspective do you think than giving it an exact name of 'Our Latest Offers' or something more descriptive?

Personally I actually think the DNN default format looks good in Google and seems clean and concise, but I am not sure if it really has an impact on SEO.

Any thoughts would be welcome.

As long as you're consistent, there isn't much difference.  Search engines treat words like "our" as noise words.  However, when evaluating a title, there is a bit of weight placed on the order of the words.  For example, "About" and About Us" would probably score the same since the primary word is in front.  "About Us" and "What We're About" might not.  Even though all those examples contain only a single non-noise word.  Personally, our page titles never get noise words unless it's absolutely required.

Thank you for your advice on this matter, I think I am going to reset all the page titles back to the 'default' setting as they do remove the noise words and will be easy to manage in the future.

Kind Regards

Stuart
