Meta Tags are very important for your websites visibility. Many search engines read them from your site when you submit it to them.

Mistake No. 1 : Stuffing keywords in Title

I agree that its very important to include your main keywords in title tag. But there are certain things, which you should remember, as title tag is the most important tag.

• Title tag length should be within 70 characters or 8 words

• Use plurals & concentrate on keyword phrases rather than just keyword.
• Make sure that title tag is grammatically correct

Now, lets me show you live demo on Title tag. Please search for "Office furniture uk" in Google, without double quotes. See the results. This is the first site listed under Google.

A fair and attractive title would be something like :

Offers quality office furniture at discount price in UK Short title

UKs leading furniture retailer offering office furniture
