I currently have the following in my site header which doesnt seem to be the best format.

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

What should be the best format for SEO purposes that i should replace the above html code?

thanks

    Sorry can you go abit more in depth about the problem. This may or may not be above your technical knowledge, but what the <?php tages are doing is calling the content from the database regarding (I'm assuming a wordpress website looking at the code) Which will be the site name defined in your admin. then does a check on the if it is a single post or an archived post eg

    Sample website | "if topic or not dispay the archive name" | title

    Wordpress is quite on the ball about website titles, their are alot of geeks and internet marketers behind the platform pushing it to the next level.

    Personally, I think that format is fine. Although if it reads abit strange to a user because of your topic area I would change it. imo I would be content with that and concentrate your efforts in creating strong sales copy on the site in question. :-)

    <title><?php
    /*
    * Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed.
    */
    global $page, $paged;

    wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );

    // Add the blog name.
    bloginfo( 'name' );

    // Add the blog description for the home/front page.
    $site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
    if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
    echo " | $site_description";

    // Add a page number if necessary:
    if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
    echo ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s' ), max( $paged, $page ) );

    ?></title>
