- abstractbill 16y agoNot just SEO. Adsense also pays a lot more attention to the title tag than anything else on the page (at least it did about a year ago, when I last experimented with it). If you want nice targeted ads, unfortunately stuffing keywords into your title is an effective way to get them.

Looks at the relative effects of words in URL, Title, Headings, and Body: http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2006/01/the-roundabout-seo-test http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2006/01/the-round... It's a little TLDR, but the point above is spelled out near the end in the final "conclusion". Cheers.
