<p>I know the <code>title</code> tag is very important for SEO, probably the most important tag. </p> <p>I have a website with a lot of news and articles, sometimes article's title is very long, about 150 characters. When I see these pages in SERP I can't read the title, instead there are dots. So how many characters should I user for the <code>title</code> tag?</p>

<p>Google displays 66 characters of the tag title in the SERPs before strip it.</p> <p>You have to optimize title tag in order to display relevant info in the first 66 characters. </p> <p>Remember that title is more important for users than for google, so try to catch the attention of your possible visitors.</p>

<p>Someone says not more 90 characters. I think it’s more useful to use <strong>70 characters</strong> and insert at the beginning of the title the most important keywords. Google says nothing about it, it is seems a mystery but if you examine the titles of the other sites you can see it. The tag title is the most important SEO tag inside a website, it is like a website identity card and so be attention when you write it.</p>

<p>Try to override the CMS default option with something shorter. The best option is between 70 and 75 chars. Remember to put your top keywords in the first positions.</p>

<p>Google display the first 70 character of tag title in the SERP, and the firsts are more important. A tag title with 150 chr is too long.</p>
