For many reasons, it is a good idea to make the WordPress Post title come before the Blog name (or how to ). Most themes by default will show the blog name before post title. This is not good for Search Engine Optimization and also for the outlook beauty of y our blog.
For example, this blog is called Succes is a Choice, i could write an article, the title would be like;
Success is a Choice- How Change Meta tags
That would be bad for SEO, the Words “How to Change Meta Tags” should come first and the title would like
How Change Meta tags- Success is a Choice
The last one is a bit better in outlook and attracting more clicks. That means that if i write one article about Meta Tags with the fist title “Success is a Choice- How Change Meta tags” and another one with the second title “How Change Meta tags- Success is a Choice”, the last one will receive more clicks.
More still, when it comes to SEO, the second title will out perform the first one. Google, Bing and other search engines are more likely to give more weight to the second Title.
How to Change the Title Format
