Stumbled upon it by accident.

Have 2 Amazon sites in a certain niche, one site did out of proportion well for the links it received, the other one was performing relatively poor, despite more links.

Started to analyze the sites a bit more and found that the better performing site had the main keyword in the site name, and thus due to Wordpress visible in each post/page title.

Now that doesn't proof all that much of course, could be coincedence.

Till I started to add the main keyword to each title of the poor performing site, and not long after, about 4-5 days, that main keyword also improved from #34 to #19 and now both sites rank pretty equal.

Not a bad gain in rankings for one little trick right?

Keyword has 33k exact searches/month so bit more work needed to get them to page one but at least this is a good start.

Not all that strange as it was long known that when you build links and you have your keywords in the title of the page where the links come from, that it helps.

    Interesting finding - I guess for small sites you are generally trying to rank the homepage so adding the main keywords in the page titles of inner pages isn't a bad idea.

    For larger sites, I suppose you could use the same tactic for things such as siloing where you have lots of pages supporting a main page although readability of the titles would be my only worry.

    Probably quite limited gains to be had in competitive areas though (if any).

      The site I tested it on is 30 pages large.

      Good point about using it in combination with silo's.

      Readability of title, yeah well, right now it's like:

      "Bosch NLX5200 Lawn Mower Review - Best Lawnmowers 2014"

      Is not that terrible is it?

      As said I tried it on a keyword with 33k exact searches, majority of the ranking sites at page one are PA45+, the kw moved from #34 to #19, not that bad at all. It could easily take a dozen or more high PR blog posts to make that jump.

      The other site ranks at #9 now btw and you know what's interesting about that one? Each and every page (or at least the majority, have the "best...." keyword in the title. BUT the page that is ranking doesn't have it LOL, instead it has the real site name on the homepage, now that's interesting right?
