This week is very busy so I don’t have time to blog, however I thought it would be fun to start a competition for the Worlds Worst Title Tag.
My entry is http://atlantic-pub.com/ with this monster:

If you know of a short, stupid, blank, or any other really bad title tag post it in the comments and we will announce the winners next week.

These titles cross the top bar in the browser! And they claim to be a great SEO company lol!
It may not be the title tag but check that meta keywords tag:

Glen I just cut and pasted the KW tag into Word and ran a word count. It came up as 1,695 words. 1,695 words in a meta keywords tag!

I hope this blog post doesn’t rank for the keywords discussed here or get penalized by Google? LOL! Fingers crossed.. lets see who finds longer than I did

This blog post might just become the most keyword filled web page of all time.
More comments from Patrick AltoftLooks like the link I submitted has also been in discussion at Google Webmaster Help Forums – http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help-Indexing/browse_thread/thread/9b361dce3d119e8a?pli=1 and surprisingly the title tag was even bigger during May 2008 and has been shortned henceforth! Ha Ha!
The longest title tag ever found.. I believe! Cheers!
One of the worst title tags I’ve seen for a homepage:
Page 1
I vote for these web pages, all 6 million of ‘em:
http://tinyurl.com/3kr8xf
There are many pages titled “Untitled”.
@ Vinay,
That nepal tour site title tag is just!!!!
really stuffing their keywords http://www.interieurgrind.nl/ (dutch website)
title:

their met description and meta keywords are almost exactly the same
Waterstones must lose colossal organic traffic – every page is welcome to Waterstones.com – http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/home.do
Personally I love the ones that show someone has used a web building tool of some sort and has Page 1 or similar….
There maybe those that fail to give a title name hence the ‘Untitled’ issue, however personally i think its worse when people actively give a page a TITLE tag; either something stupidly long or just stupidly… stupid – like ‘Home’.
and i thought this one was a bad Title tag, strong point its this is one of the biggest sport centers in spain (www.decathlon.es):
Decathlon – decathlon,tiendas,tienda,deporte,deportes,deportista,deportistas,online,on,line,on-line –
The winner by far is the Nepal Tour Package.
that right it going to be amost keyword filled web page of all time.
