SEO

Can anyone give me some general tips on page titles for seo?

My page title for a chess training site is:

Chess Forums - Chess Videos - Chess Coaching - Chess Training - ChessBlabber

Is this too many "Chess"? Can that hurt? Any other tips?

Thanks

Way to much chess, maybe considered "Chess spam!"

Try something like

Chess Forums - Chess Videos, coaching, training and blabber

IS that preferred by search engines? Or would it be less "keyword rich"?

I wouldn't make my title that long at all, make it Chess Forums, then have forum categories as Chess Coaching, and build links to that category as well as the root

cheers

If you keep a longer title, then keep it only on your forum homepage.

I don't think duplicates of the word "chess" are a good idea. I like FightRice's suggestion.

I might get rid of blabber.

Also, I would order them in order of which is more likely to allow you to be competitive, or alternatively in order of which get most traffic if you believe you can be competitive for those terms.

If any of them deliver very low traffic, you might consider dropping them out to focus on more productive terms.
