But if you had a choice between having many links or optimized title tags, what would you choose? Of course, you'd want both and your rankings will suffer if you lose either. That's why I believe title tags are a very important ranking factor. And I still think in many non-competitive niches, you have a huge advantage if you optimize your title tags with relevant keywords since many webmasters skip that action. @ Christian

If that was the case, how can search engines choose between thousands of perfectly crafted, seo friendly, title tags (for the same keywords) ? The primary purpose of a title tag is to attract visitors and increase click-thru rate. 90% of the entire Ranking receipt is about link building (internal, inbound and outbound links), a.k.a trust and authority. A site's authority is measured by the frequency at which other sites link and quote it's content. Search Engines seek to provide their users with information already "approved" by the community as being valuable If you find my opinion constructive, here's a post of mine with further details on "title tag" topic: http://trafficcpanel.com/658/optimize-title-tags-for-google-compliance-and-massive-click-thru-rates/ Hope it serves you well!

Other onpage factors that are important include internal links, internal anchor text, keyword use in the body text, and age of the site (the older, the better). @Ching I agree. However, one tip is to use a catchy title to attract links and then change the title to be more keyword-driven once you've gotten your links. I'll talk about this tip in more detail in my next post. @Jamie See my reply above to Ching about being catchy and keyword focused. What do you mean by headings? Are you talking about the header tags like h1 and h2? @Obed

I was wondering, how effective did it say headings where in the survey?
