Ideal title

Take time in providing a suitable, appropriate and catchy title. Most people will not read the article if the title is drab or boring. Making the title short is always a good practice. Most of the search engines give high relevance to the first few words used in the title. The ideal length of the title is 6-8 words. The search engines display only up to 8-10 words in the search engine results. First of all you must determine who are the intended audience? After that a suitable title that you are sure will lure the audience to read the article should be selected.
  
Here is the example for a bad title and a good title "My car driving experience with my new car". A better title would be something like "Porsche Spider –My driving experience" The second title gives the reader an idea of what the article is all about. You will be able to notice that the first title rambles on a little, it has the word car repeated twice which is unnecessary (though it may be the keyword), and doesn't really catch the reader's attention, it has many words that just don't work for the readers.
It also has filler words like "with, and my" which won’t look good in the title. The filler words should be used as little as possible. The second example is the catchy title. It gives the product name first, which will catch the reader's attention. The best title for the article is one that explains that you are writing an article about first hand experience of driving your Porsche.
