Downtown Fullerton embodies amazingly comfortable contradiction that blends the old and new all at once in a unique convergence of college life and history. One of the main train stops during the area’s oil industry days, Fullerton has retained many of its old landmarks from the train station to the police station, not to mention Fullerton College where students arrived in canoes in the hundred year flood of 1938, when most of Orange County found itself flooded. Fullerton shops restaurants and entertainment share a long tradition of blending new and old. The day I took this video, we ate at Rutabegorz, established 40 years ago and still serving up 70s fare in a 90s environment- solar powered. Plummer Auditorium finished up the night in an excellent dress rehearsal of Brigadoon. Shot with the new Canon 550D T2i, which I’m still learning. The creative modes are every bit as varied as you expect from an SLR camera.
How much of a title does Google index? I don’t mean the 66 characters that are displayed in the SERPs but how much is actually read and tucked away in the event someone searches a keyword that is beyond the 66th character? As a live test, I’ve given this post a title that is 96 characters long. I’ve place strategic keywords past the 66 mark. After the post is indexed, I’ll search on the keywords in the title, which will not be repeated anywhere else, thus we shall see how much title content, if any, Google retains past the 66th character.
I’ll post a comment here and tweet/FB the results.
Stay tuned!

The answer? A lot! Everything past the 66 character mark was indexed and searchable. I tried several variations, with and without quotes, all of which were on terms past the 66 character mark. You know what this means for SEO. What we don’t know is how much weight is given to a term in the beginning, middle and end of a title. I’ve seen results, often, where the keywords in the center of a title rank the best.

Some of my favorite photographs taken over time. Not all were taken in Orange County. Some are obviously from Europe or Maui; others, right here at home in Orange County. My style of photography if you can call it that is Journalistic. I try to capture an emotion in my photography, even if it’s just the experience of a discovery of a moment of magic in nature, a simple picture of a home, commercial real estate or the wonder of the great world in a child’s eyes.
