Dynamic search engine friendly titles for webJobs

We’re excited to announce another great Search Engine Optimization (SEO) feature in our job board software: SEO friendly titles!

How SEO friendly titles work

Site titles will now be dynamically generated for each page on the site. For example, let’s saying you site name is MyJobBoard, and you’re visiting the advanced search page. The title of that page will not become: Advanced Search | MyJobBoard.

More importantly, this comes in handy when viewing jobs. Titles for the view job format will be in the format – | site name. So, for example, let’s saying you’re viewing a job for a PHP programmer in Albany, NY. The title would not look like this: PHP Programmer – Albany, NY | MyJobBoard.

What does this mean for my site?

Simply put, this will help you rank better and increase traffic to your site. By having more diverse titles for your pages, search engine will index your pages more accurately.

The most important aspect of this feature, however, is the SEO friendly titles on the view job page. By having optimized view job pages, search engines are more likely to pick up your site for local searches. For example, let’s say that someone does a search for “php programmer albany ny” on Google. Because your site will have those keywords both in the title and the body of the page, you are much more likely to show up at the top of the search results!

webJobs 3.2 is planned for release in late December 2009.
