keyword repetition in title tag

[goodluckdomain]

I need a clarification regarding keyword repetition in title tag

The question is how many times a keyword should repeat in the title tag, for example my keyword is Second hand Car for sales and I target this single keyword for a page.

<title> Second hand Car for sales – Website Name</title>

Is it enough or I need to repeat the keywords another time?

[deryaSavas]

I believe it is enough, and actually is the right way to go about page title creation. The reason is simple, first of all, your title surely is important for ranking signal, and mentioning it once is good enough signal, which in your case will allow you to brand your website name, OR, you can cleverly add call to action in it, OR you can cleverly add the value your potential customers are interested in

example:
Second hand Car for sales – Website Name
Second hand Car for sales – Polished & Waiting FOR YOU
Second hand Car for sales – with Great After Sales Support

Of course these are just a sample approach for you to consider, just be bold and different in your title, image how it will look in the search results, (imagine you are viewing it from your customers eyes perspective) then ask yourself, would I click on that result?

You don't have to repeat the keywords one after other, that is really odd if you ask me,
page title describes what the page is about in short compressed way, ask yourself, when ever did we read a chapter of a book like this
"Great adventures of a Monk, a Monk had a great adventure"
this is no no,

Your title also gives you an opportunity (if its within 64 characters it (Google) shows in its SERP's) to communicate (difference & value) to your potential customers. Also ranking that key-phare will involve many other factors (and not just repeating the same keywords in the title), so, creating your title intelligently and with a foresight is my advise to you

P.S i always use ms word to count how many characters I use

[motorola4gatrix]

Title length should not more then 64 characters and your targeted keyword has already 25 characters so if you will repeat it again then it will be counted in spam so do not try to use this keyword again in title .you can use supporting keywords or LSI keywords.

Your keyword is a long tail. So use one time only which is enough.

How about second hand car(s) for sale?

Reads better.......unless you already bought the strange sounding one.....

Then again.....used cars is readily accepted term.....

I have purchased a few used cars in the past 50 years and have never referred to them as second hand....or searched that way on the net....

There is no need to repeat the keywords in Title tag. It's enough and also it sounds good.

[Econtinue]

From my experience, with not too long tail keywords, 2 short sentences in the title with both containing your keyword works nicely. Too much is called "keyword stacking" and might be punished by google...

Go with Second hand Car for sales and add more one keyword.

Second hand Car for sales | Best Second cars(or site or other keyword)

[searchbliss]

Title the page for your potential visitors from the SERPs. Clear and concise title about the pages content.

[tessori]

Using one time keyword in title is good. But in content your keyword density must be 2-3%. I it exceeds beyond this then it will consider as a keyword stuffing.

[seolyka2]

I would suggest using this Title Tag - "Used Cars for Sale + (Add more Descriptive Keyword) + (Your Targeted Location) if you're targeting a specific area or location.

I think you can use three keywords in title tag it is better for your web .

[JashandeepMax]

Character length should not exceed 64 character in title bar .So use Second Hand Car only.

[luring]

Use at least three smart keywords on you one page. Repeating the same keyword is pretty odd. You may take many other keywords relating to your keyword.

[Ydeveloper]

I recommend you to create a SIMPLE but MEANINGFUL SENTENCE of 65-70 Characters that includes all the WORDS you want to target the page for. This will help your page to be visible in all the queries related to the WORDS that you have used in the SENTENCE broadly.

[vksheilds]

I think you should go with 65 char in your title tags go with some attractive quote that always catchy to eyes like saving offers or discount even free enquery

[jsmichael6]

Repetation of keyword in title is not a good practice.To Perfectly optimized a keyword in title tag just place the keyword at very start.

Yes, it is enough for your title. You can also add another keywords because you can use 63 character in title tag. Repetition is not useful for your website.

[mark44mn]

Your title should not more that 70 characters. Because the spiders only read first 70 characters of it. Its not necessary you use all available options. Make it convenient for the search engine and user to.
