Web page titles - The HTML TITLE tag

Titles of your pages are very important and here are some of the reasons.

• Titles help search engines index your site.
• Assist visitors in knowing where they are on your site.
• Used in Bookmarks/Favorites
• Used to display a short description of your site in search engines results.

So always pay special attention to page titles. Never let them play a second fiddle to page content. Rather, when making a web page, try to frame its contents in a single phrase. Then put this phrase as the title.

Some developers leave out the title completely and their page shows up with an Undefined title. How horrible and unprofessional?
