Change your <title> tag periodically

I believe you get better at anything you do.

So when you look back at words in your title tag you realize that you can be more direct.

Keep on changing your keywords, dont be afraid, trial and error is great, plus your placement is fine but it can be better.

I design websites for clients as well as my own company and I SEO for VERY competitive phrases in multiple markets and if you were to to do what he suggest for a competitive phrase that EVERYONE "Pros" are trying for then you would get knocked off within the week.

LOL....you tell me you can stay at #1 with that method for a "real" search phrase like "Miami Real Estate" that SEO Pros are getting paid to SEO for and I'll eat my words.

We do SEO for #1 position for Miami Real Estate term on Google....
and No way you can get and keep a ranking by changing the meta tag like that.....

btw Google traffic estimator asks $550-$850 daily budget for 1-3 PPC ranking for "Miami Real Estate" term ...

Most agent sites I look at need to change their meta tags and title.

Interesting. I should see the source of the #1 site for the keywords I'm interested in and copy/paste their meta then. I should go #1 or at least #2, right?

No, I personally think optimizing your pages is only 0.5 of
the SEO work (it only depends on how long you will do SEO on your site) ....... There are tons of tasks you need to do... plus you need to utilize new tasks.....

Yes, I also don't think it is a good idea to change your title periodically. Title is part of a web that crawlers' read, if you change it to optimize your page for a new keyword you might end up losing you previous rank.
