The Title Tag, is information not seen on the page itself, but shows up at the very top of the Internet window, for example, this pages title is “SEO The Basics - Adding Meta Tags“. When a person makes a search on an engine such as Google, the search engine will first search the titles of the page, because the title is what the page will most likely be about. Your can be as short as you want, but its best to fit as much info into it as possible, but try to keep it under 60 characters. Search engines don’t like people to spam things like this and will often rank you poorly for a title that is too long.
