Once again you spout rubbish. The page title is one of the prime ranking elements along with the content. The description is not a ranking factor but it can help generate traffic

I agree with you,but you are saying description can help generate traffic then it should be also ranking factor.
Not quite. Put gibberish in your page descriptions and your ranking won't change but clicktroughs will drop. Write really enticing descriptions and you can steal traffic from higher ranking sites.

Both Title & Content are more important to a webpage.Content is the king in seo . Based on the title keywords you site will be displayed in the google search resutls. And it plays an important role .when a user find your site for that particular keyword used in the title, they visit your site and read the content . It is is interesting and relevant to the title they stay on page. Otherwise they leave the Page. So Both Title and Content are more important in SEO.

Alex, Page title is useless if the traffic comes from a referral however in regards to SEO, having a title which is highly suitable to the content on your page will not only provide higher targeted traffic but traffic which will stay on your website. Don't worry too much about generating broken promises with your page title as the traffic will just bounce.

Give some thought into your page titles to coincide with your content and you will be fine. Page titles are important but useless without suitable content.

In a nutshell titles do help ranking, try not to be pursuaded to be one of those having 'my keywords here, and again and again annnndddd again annnnd again' as it really doesn't matter too much and will probably hurt more than help.

Content is important, and not just the one page you are trying to rank as it's your website that helps you rank not just one page.

Then again, you can rank with zero relevant content and some obscure title so do as you please I guess :) :p

More important than what? You haven't stated what you are comparing Title and Content with!

Content is king in SEO and if the reader finds useful content on your website, it is more likely to act upon your call to action. Title and quality content both are required to rank high in search engines. It is true that a lot lies on the title of the website for rankings but if you have high rankings and user doesn’t get anything useful after visiting your website, then it is of no use.
