Page title too long for Yahoo Search Engine Guideline

Description

title element is too long for Yahoo. Yahoo recommends limiting your page title to 67 characters.

Help

The major search engines all have different limits for title length, and these limits have changed over time. Avoid title lengths close to the limits to prevent problems when the limits change again, and note that the W3C recommends a maximum length of 64 characters.
