one of my client site has a title of the index page is "best free web hosting pakistan cheap domain name registration reseller hosting karachi pakistan"

but when we've search the whole title in the google the site does appear in top 100 results, but when i've search it on the keyword "Web Hosting in Pakistan" it appears on 5th number....
this is the main keyword of the page, here i want to ask you that the title of the page is not suitable but should i change it as it is on a good position at the main keyword
second, what you think why the google not showing the site at the full title of the page but on a keyword, its at good position....

    Google always counts the keyword rank and how many backlinks you created on that specific keyword.

    That title tag is waaaaay too long. At some point Google might look at it as "overoptimization" and penalize the site for it. I would recommend cutting it down quite a bit. As far as ranking well for web hosting in pakistan, it is among the first words that Google's bot will run into when visiting the site, so it probably awards some value for those keywords based on the location within the title tag.

    You should create anchor text backlinks to your targeted keyword if you want to rank for it.

    ^^^Yes, but make sure you use a lot of diversity with your anchors. Google is cracking down on sites that have "unnatural" (in Google's eyes) anchor text use in their backlinks. I would recommend doing 60% anchors that are your targeted keywords and 40% anchors that are unrelated to your keywords (learn more, click here, your URL, etc.)

    some times targeting only one keyword cause this, Also above mentioned title has more then 75 characters, Google truncate characters more then 65. Also if you recently change title Google may take some time to update its database.
