Google To Add Titles To Web-Pages With Missing Titles in their SERPs

August 2nd, 2008 | by Ankit |

Ben Gomes in his recent post about The Series of Search Quality at Google Blog said:

One of the bigger recent changes has been to extract titles for pages that don’t specify an HTML title — yet a title on the page is clearly right there, staring at you. To “see” that title that the author of the page intended, we analyze the HTML of the page to determine the title that the author probably meant.

Seems like Google is going to add Automatic relevant Title’s according to the content of the page into its search Index.

However, I haven’t seen any page like that yet !! So m unable to comment over this change !! If in case you find something feel free to let me know !!

If Google will do all the Optimization work then what’s the need of a Search Engine Optimizer ?

    It’s just all about to make search results better - to give visitors a helpful hand to choose the better result from the searches.

    So go test this… highest likelihood might be a page with no title element but proper Hn hierarchy. A single H1, with H2 subsections. See what they are doing, if anything.

    It would be nice to see Google do this:

    if (missing title element) & (good H1) {
    use H1 for page title element & forgive
    } else {
    status quo
    }

    Note: I’m betting the format above get screwed by WP, but the idea should still carry.
