The reason for this is simply that Google will truncate your title in the Search Result Pages if you go over 60 characters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And this is certainly not something that you want because this will result in lower click-through rates to your website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nobody wants to click on an article that does not display a full title. I am sure you would agree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, when optimizing a paragraph to win a Google Featured Snippet, you will always want to ensure the character count doesn&rsquo;t exceed 300 characters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With our Word &amp; Character Counter here on Linguaholic, you will never ever go over that limit because checking the character count of your paragraph is as simple as pasting your text in and then read the character count off the screen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>PDF Word Counter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to know how many words there are in your PDF file, feel free to use our FREE PDF Word Counter Tool!<\/p>\n[pdf_word_counter]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Excel Word Counter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Looking for an Excel Word Counter?
