Search Engine catch first 80 characters in Title tag and first 250 characters in Description so you can use your most IMP keywords in this length ..

Well this can really depend on the keywords. Most title and description contain the keywords. If you have long tail keywords then most likely the length of your title and description would also be long

As of me, You can take title up to 60 character and Description with maximum of 180 character.

If i target more than 10 keywords, then how i can cover it in the title.

Well all the search engines have decided the length for title and description and the length you ave used is fine for all.
For Google: Title length- up to 69 characters,
Description length - up to 156 characters

For Yahoo: Title length- up to 72 characters,
Description length - up to 161 characters

For Bing: Title length- up to 65 characters,
Description length - up to 150 characters

title length should be within 60 characters and description should be within 160 characters length.

Yes for google precisely it can be max 65 for the title and 160 for the description....

Good Answer. I am suggesting don't go to create more than 55 char in title and 155 char in description.

Title should of 60 characters and description should be of 150 characters.

Your website description doesn't play very important part in ranking your website. But it it helps to draw visitors to your site. Your title should be under 68 character and Description under 160 character.

I also observed that Google display maximum 60 character from title. I think we have to optimize content as well for the rest of keywords.

Well it must be 60-80 character for your title and 160-180 character for your description.

Title length - 70 character maximum
Description length - 120 character maximum

Proper length of the Title upto- 80 character.
Description upto- 250 character.
It will be appropriate to your page of your website.

n terms of SEO does it matter how long are your page title and description? Although I won’t suggest that you create inordinately long titles and descriptions, if you have something really meaningful to say and you’re not simply stuffing keywords, I don’t think the length adversely affects your SEO. You are advised to create shorter page titles and descriptions because beyond a certain length they cannot be read in the search engine listings. For instance, in a title Google reads up to 66 characters and in description there should not be more than 160 characters.

Even your browser is incapable of showing more than a certain number of characters in the title bar.

So if you are planning to write a bit longer titles and descriptions, just make sure that the important part — the part people can make sense of — appears within the advised character length limit.
