we have Noticed that Trends of E-commerce are drastically changed in past few years, while Getting High Search engine Rankings for Most Competitive Terms is Primary goal of every website now. We Evaluate SEO Performance by Overall Search Traffic on our Primary Keywords and the secondary Keywords.

Using Google analytics and Other Free Web tools will help you to find mutual Keywords, and long tail patterns your visitors use to reach you!

and you find that there is some search traffic around “Men Clothing“, So its good opportunity to optimize your website for this keyword and all the other mutual like “Women clothing” and “youth Clothing” you would also optimize around all of the other related stuff that you sell. It may warrant creating a page about “Men’s and Women’s Clothing” if you have the inventory to support that kind of a page.
Sometime we find that we are receiving good traffic from unwanted terms like you have an online shopping website and you are targeting for fashion apparel but you are receiving good Traffic and Conversion on Online Watches for men or Online Beauty Store and Buy Wallets online. So be clever and optimize your next pages with keeping these terms in mind or add This Collection to your site if possible!

As long as the page titles read well and provide appropriate and relevant information, they are useful for both users and Search engines. Play safely with long tail!

I use the same method and I have never been flagged as Black hat or in Google Webmaster Tools for having too long page title.
