The title tag is an important part of a website. It is basically a short description of the page, and the most important words should go first. Every HTML (web page) should have a title tags and all tags should be unique. It is recommended that you do not use the same tage for multiple documents. Some tips to keep in mind when creating title tags are:

It should always appear immediately after the opening tag
It should be specific keywords and phrases
If you use the same keyword twice, do not use it right next to each other. (eg. Professional Marketing Tips . Tips On Marketing>), and do not use one word more than twice.
Titles should be between 5 . 12 words (less than 60 characters).
Place primary keyword at the starting of the tag.
Try to minimize/eliminate the use of commas in this tag.
Strive for a keyword density of 25-35% for each keyword.
Always remember to close the tag ()
All pages MUST have a unique and descriptive keyword phrase in the title.
Do not change the tag regularly.

Make sure to put the most important keywords into a carefully crafted paragraph at the beginning of your HTML Page
Keyword Density: If the page contains less than 500 words, keeping 1-3% of those words is better. If the page contains more than 500 words, keep 3-5% of the overall content.
Try to keep the word count of anywhere between 250 . 750 words per page.
Use CSS instead of font tags
Get rid of JavaScript in the code, and instead use an external file.
Keep image buttons as text links, or have image and text links.
Repeat page title in a heading at the top of the page, if possible.
Use heading tags (, , ., ). You can alter the way these tags look via CSS.
Keyword proximity: It refers to the closeness between two or more keywords, Always try to group words together that might be searched on as a single phrase by a user.
Place some important keywords in Bold or Italic.
