It isn’t about a shift away from title tags, it is about making sure that you’re not making title tags for SEO. Title tags are all about describing the page’s content; not SEO.

Title tags will always be important when it come to placement in search engines. I just want to stress the point that keyword stuffing them and not making them understandable by people is a bad idea in general.

I will always pick an understandable title in search results over a higher ranking page that has 50 keywords stuffed in.

That doesn’t mean that keyword stuffed pages will get better results, I’m just saying that even if it does get higher results (which is probably due to other factors) the click worthiness of your site improves the more relevant your title becomes.

yeah i noticed a shift away from title tags… which was most concerning as its been a pretty bulletproof way of changing your site focus.

That brings some great clarity to titles, I never thought about simplifying it all that way. I guess I should have. It only makes sense that search engines aren’t geared towards SEO Experts they are geared towards the average person and what they would do.

I read a great article from search engine land that talked about this same subject, but a little further then just titles on web sites.
