"Welcome to" as part of title

From Jeff on 22 Jan '00

I run several sites including one that is mostly a links directory.
As most of you know, some search engines give great weight to the title
of a web page. So why do so many titles begin with "Welcome to...?

It many be a pleasant way to title a page, but it won't help anyone's
standing with AV!

At least it is better than "Homepage" that I find often.

BTW, I looked up "Welcome to" in Alta Vista and found the phrase was
used over 5,000,000 times...often in page titles.
