Which title is better for SEO?

I have a travel guide to toronto, canada. currently, the title is:

"Rethink Toronto: The second generation travel and visitor's guide to the world's most multicultural city."

I'm thinking of changing it something like:

"Rethink Toronto: Toronto Canada Travel, Toronto Guide, Travel to Toronto"

Those keywords I found seem to be good ones with less competition through Adsense's keyword tool.

Which would you suggest? I dunno, the second one (with the keywords) seem to be stuffing it.

(Of course, this will alslo depend on the content of my website/pages, but in general, which title is preferred or best for SEO)?

The first one is too long for me. I try to keep my titles to under 8 words with one primary keyword.

A lot of that title text could go just as easily in the meta description which is quite regularly used as the snippet of text that'll display underneath the title in the listings.

that's a very long title.. and if your keyword is toronto that's already stuffing from the title itself you repeated it 4 times.. i suggest for the title keep your keywords together.

"Rethink Toronto: Toronto Canada Travel, Toronto Guide, Travel to Toronto" is better because it contains your keywords

The meta Keyword is pretty much ignored by SE's so that would help you much.

10 words, Toronto appears 4 times=40% density Now what? Ho weird, that doesn't help.

Use the one that makes the most sense if you were reading it outloud to a human being.

I think you should not add "Toronto" many times, twice will be great, the title of globalcelebrity is the best for you
"Rethink Toronto: Toronto Canada Travel and Guide"

Page title should be void of any characters. Who will ever use rethink when looking for Toronto for anything?

Think book titles when creating page titles. Use only targeted keywords phrases

I'd just take the primary keyword you're targeting but make it readable and relevant. You will want to have your most important words first in your title.

eg. "Travel Guide to Toronto, Canada"

I'd go with something more like: "Rethink Toronto: A travellers' guide to Toronto, Canada" which is more readable, but says what it needs to.

think of the keyword that is most likely used by the searchers. Then use it on your meta title. It is important to use your keyword on your title.

well, try to analyze your keywords also..i mean search if how many were searching to your chosen keywords, because it's useless to rank in SERP if only few people searching your keywords..
