Page Title Tags: Best Practices✓ Accurately describe the page's content Choose a title that effectively communicates the topic of the page's content.
▪ Avoid: - Choosing a title that has no relation to the content on the page- Using a default or vague titles like “Untitled” or “New Page 1”

▪ Avoid:Using a single title tag across all of your site's pages or a large group of pages

Why Web Presence
✓Best showcase for universities✓Reach larger audiences✓Offering access to scientific knowledge to researchers and institutions
located in developing countries and third parties (economic, industrial, political and cultural) in their own community.
The Challenge
✓Highly dependent on search engines algorithm✓Dynamic websites✓Search engine bias (the most popular results will always be at top
ranking and least favorite results get less exposure)✓Lower visibility rank (Crawl issue)
The Approach
Web Impact Factor
✓Visibility is measured by number of external links from other websites.✓Size refers to the number of pages, determined
by search engines: Google, Bing✓Rich files are the tally of academic activities, all
in the following formats: Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), Adobe PostScript (.ps), Microsoft Word (.doc) and Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt).✓Scholar is the number of citations and papers
for each academic domain, tallied by Google Scholar.
