In My webmaster tools, under HTML suggestions
I have this........

Pages with non-informative title tags

Home____________________ /


Every time I get crawled, I get this message about my home (Index) page

I have my title tag for that page written with good content

Anything else I could look at?

Change it to something more than

<title>Home</title>

Thanks for your help

Ok I see where to change the page title

Now the big question, what do I change It to?
Should It be somthing like "Home of my company name" ??

Chris, I put my company name In, Then a short discription of what I do

It still shows up on the address bar as Index, I take It that It will take some time for It to be changed?

Thanks for your help

Pipe

Until will remain at "Home" for Google until the page is reindexed

index.html in the address is a different issue, to remove the "index.html" just remove it from the internal links, just use

<a href="/" ...>

instead.

Using your company name as the first thing in a Title tag is not a good practice. The first 70 characters are what will show up in search results, so those 70 chars should say WHAT your site/business is about.. and use your chosen keywords in your title.

I put my company name at the end, And used about 50 characters total

Thanks for the tip

Well there is also a site description tag which is displayed in search results. So company name may stay on it's place...

Yes I know that now, That's what got me confused

I have all the titles changed now, I will be waiting for those nice hairy spiders to crawl my site now, I bet they give me a gold star for doing such a good job

Google must have crawled my site, There are 3 pages now that pop up with the new titles.
