Re: New Site Title & Description drafts
There is no mention of either hi-fi / Hi-Fi / hifi / HiFi or "music" anywhere in the description, which is sort of what the whole hobby is about.

Re: New Site Title & Description drafts
Google usually displays up to the first 50-60 characters of a site title. Sometimes it will display more, more frequently not.Lotus Seven S wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2018 1:46 pm I am probably being pedantic here, but I don't think a forum is "by" any one person. I understand the need for key words to meet Google search parameters, but I don't like the title as it stands - though it probably would not have any practical effect on whether I visited HFS or not.
But as an alternative could I suggest, "Richard Dunn of NVA invites you to the Hifi Subjectivist Forum".
Many would be likely to see only:
Richard Dunn of NVA invites you to the Hifi Subje...
or
Richard Dunn of NVA invites you to the Hifi...

Re: New Site Title & Description drafts
HiFi is in the Site Title. It won't require a repeat in the Site Description for SEO purposes.
Would be worth getting 'audio' in the description, I think.
Won't do any harm to have 'music' in the description.

Re: New Site Title & Description drafts
I've trimmed the title to 50 characters, and included another keyword:
HiFi Subjectivist ¦ Audio Forum ¦ Richard Dunn NVA
Google now displays up to 320 characters (recommended to aim for 300) for the site description, so have expanded this to:
Discussion, articles, bake-offs, Doc-Mods, music. NVA reviews, loan scheme, orders & support. 'Elsewhere on the Web' - the forum they tried to ban! Phono stages, passive pre /power amplifiers, integrated amps, semi-omni speakers, interconnects, speaker cables, headphone amps. CD, Vinyl, Computer.
So far I've gone for 'keyword rich' for best performance in search results while trying not to look / read too much like 'spam'. We can be more conversational in the description if we can live without optimal search engine performance...

Re: New Site Title & Description drafts
An example of a more 'conversational' Site Description:
Audiophile discussion, articles, bake-offs, Doc-Mods. NVA reviews, loan scheme, orders, support. Don't miss 'Elsewhere on the Web' - the one they tried to ban - shining a light on the conmen and egotists who are trying to take over the hifi industry and forums. HiFi Subjectivist is different!
Fewer keywords, but more 'message'...

Re: New Site Title & Description drafts
As BB King said to Gary Moore: Too many notes.
I think there are too many words in the description. My eyes sees "too many" and I don't want to bother reading them....
So what about:
HiFi Subjectivist ¦ Audio Forum ¦ Richard Dunn NVA
Don't miss 'Elsewhere on the Web' - the one they tried to ban.
