is there a way to remove part of the title. On each and every page its the "Product" name or "Category" name followed by the store name.

The reason i ask this is, I have a site builder program that is including the store name with each link as it reads the <title> tag for its information.

here is the page im refering too

Looking at it from an SEO point of view(and im no expert) this seems liek it would not be a good thing to have so many instances of the store name on the site map, especialy since the name is a major Keyword for my store.

So if it is indeed a bad thing, is there anyway to remove the store name? Whether its best to do it permenetly or just temporarily while i run my site map generator (SiteXpert)

it would seem prudent that you wouldnt want every single page to say the same thing, even the store itself as SEO implies we should just use "KEY" phrases on each page.

By the way, the sitemap is being generated by looking into the folder that contains static pages only generated by Merchant Optimizer.

if anyone has any suggestions or ideas i sure would apprciate it.

I seem to recall a setting in OpenUI to do this, but can't find it right at the moment.

Page title manager from netblazon (http://www.jmhonline.net/miva-modules/page+title+manager) can do this. Page titles will be discussed during the teleseminar (http://www.jmhonline.net/seoteleseminar/?a_aid=097caaee).
