SEO for Blog titles, Website titles, and Post titles

Something of huge importance to keep foremost in your mind when making new titles is that Google will only allow a maximum of 70 characters to display in or count towards Search results. These 70 characters are a combined count of both your website/blog title and then your post title put together. Any remaining characters that exceed 70 will be ignored. Learning to make effective titles is a huge factor for Search Engine Optimization because you must take these 70 characters, less however many your site title uses; and still be able to get a concise title that explains your content and has good keyword usage with the remaining space. Google search is not like Twitter, and these keywords cannot be abbreviated or skimped on with any good results. By default, your website or blog title will come first in the character count before your post titles, unless you force it to do otherwise by adding code. This is a key reason why I always try to keep the titles of blogs and websites as short as possible while still trying to be to the point and relevant to the topic.
