How frequently one can change title of the website? would that make any difference in website rank for search keywords if one change the title of website once and then reverse it back to previous ones.
Actually I have changed the title of website from "A | B | C" to "A | B | C | X | Y | Z". I have severely loose the rank for keywords A, B, C. Website was on front page for these keywords but now its on fourth page in Google. then again I reverse the Keywords back to "A | B | C" but keywords positioning are still on fourth page. It has been more then 3 weeks. and Google Crawler has visited my website for almost 3 times in this time but website position for these keywords are still same? while title has been updated in Google.
Any Thoughts?
There is one more possibility. You say you had three keywords in your title and than added three more. Maybe Google saw that as keyword stuffing and gave you a little slap. That would explain the drop in the rank, even though you have reverted to your previous keywords the rank will have to grow normally like in the beginning. That is the beauty of Google slap, you get down fast, but go back up very slow!
but I agree with Pierre, you probably did something else. maybe not on site, maybe just added some links from bad neighborhoods or something similar. stuffing keyword in the title is not a grounds for Google slap alone, so there has to be something else, think it through!
Yes the title will affect your ranking, but I doubt that is caused the drop alone. Did you change anything else?
You can change your title frequently, but each time the spiders visit your site, your ranking will be updated.
Try to invest in your link popularity and your content. You can only get better ranking on more and more keywords if you do things right (not tricking the spiders).

I'm trying to make a personal web analyzer site using PHP.. I bought a script to get other seo data... Now I want to have the 3 bar-counters like the one shown at the top of this page: http://www.woorank.com/en/www/cnn.com ... The problem is I don't know what these information are and how these are computed.. This is not included on the script I bought as well.. I've already googled alot, and I mean a lot, of websites also but I can't seem to find any site like this.. Can anyone help me with the computation or direct me to sites that show these 3 bar-counter data just for more information?
I am referring to the link you provided.
The three bars at the top.
Successfully passed 32
Room for improvement 5
Errors to fix 8
These are totals of all the individual points listed.
The ones that are successfully passed are marked with a green tick
eg Traffic Estimations
Room for improvement are marked with the orange exclamation mark.
eg Title
Errors to fixed are marked by a red cross
eg IP Canonicalization
To display these bars is a coding issue.

Our company has created a "comparison" tool that uses unique urls to choose who you want to compare, example:
http://www.sportingcharts.com/nhl/2010-edmonton-oilers/vs/2008-calgary-flames/
http://www.sportingcharts.com/nhl/1993-carolina-hurricanes/vs/2008-dallas-stars/
Does anyone know if this is a recommended SEO strategy or is it better to use query string parameters instead of completely different urls. One advantage I was thinking of is this could grab long tail traffic searches such as "2010 Edmonton Oilers Vs 1995 Calgary Flames" but having this many URLS might also hurt the general SEO of these pages.
Does anyone have any experience in creating pages like this? What is the recommended strategy?
The style of URL is not going to matter much to search engines.
From a search engine perspective they are going to care more that:
You have 30 teams and 24 seasons. You are creating 30*24*30*24 = over 500,000 pages.
Each page has very little content. Its just two team names and some numerical stats.
The content that you do have is heavily duplicated across pages.
The search volume for your targeted keywords is going to be very low. Very few people search for two team names with two different years.
If I ran a search engine, I would not want to have my crawlers waste time crawling that site. I wouldn't want the pages in the index.
I expect that your site will suffer from "thin content", "duplicate content", and "excessive pages" issues because of this section.

I have developed a website for a firm that deals in pumps, valves and diesel engines. They require that when an interested user searches with some keywords like "Pump Dealers" or "Valve Dealers", their site should appear in the results. Currently I am not aware of how I can go about this, so my question is what should I do in order for better page ranking. I am using meaningful page titles and have enough text in every page.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Firstly Pagerank is irrelevant these days, so don't worry about that.
You should ensure that you use Google's Webmaster Tools to check that Google knows about your site etc. This will tell you what things it is coming up for on Google.
Make sure that the page has the text on it you want to rank for - as you mention, titles, headers etc will help but don't over do it.
The main thing to do is to get links to your site – write interesting blog posts, contact customers etc so they link to you.
It really depends on who your competition is for those terms - if there are already 10 huge companies ranking for those terms then you are stuck.
The other way to do this is to buy Adwords – this will likely cost upwards of $5-10 a day to get any meaningful traffic though.

Just thinking about my page titles and wondering which one to have
keyword | keyword | site name
or
keyword | keyword | sitename.com
Would the sitename.com work better if it was an online only company?
OK great thanks guys, I think to keep it consistent I am going to use 'site name' as renaming everything to .com wont work.
IMO it's all how you want to be perceived. Amazon includes the .com in their title tags, but Ebay, Netflix and Home Depot do not. Personally, I just use the company name without the .com at the end of the title tag but I don't believe there is any negative repercussions for including it.
Well, When you put in Sitename.com, you already have your site name ( I am guessing).
Also, try to be consistent and stick to either one. The one you chose should be the one users are most familiar with.
In any case, you want users to come to your website, so give more importance to sitename.com . Once they are on your site, then you can display the name of your business.
Personally would not bother with the .com, especially if you have a unique name. Brand yourself with the name and save having to add .com to everything.
Think of all the established web businesses and recent web upstarts. Are they known as example.com or things like Quora, Pinterest, Google or Bing.

A solution to get quick exposure:
Since my website just got lunched 3 days, i still have time to change my domain name. I decided to do is:
Pick a domain name with keyword tacked before domain name as of: {Keyword}Brand.com (looks ugly)
Keep it for at least 1 year till my site get fair exposure, just to reach to my competitors.
Move back to Brand.com (Probably). I know i will loose ranks, but it won't be hard to bring it back because the website is already being exposed and used by many.
Question:
Do you believe this is a good temporary solution?
Hence, The keyword is non-English word.
So get everyone to learn your name and then change it and get everyone to learn your new name? Does that sound like a good idea? Why not build a strong foundation and then keep building upon it? Races are marathons, not sprints. Think long term, not short term. If you're actually good at what you do you will eventually outrank your competitors for all of your keywords even without your keywords being in your domain name. If you're not good at what you, then hacks and tricks like this won't help you anyway.
