Citing web pages Two reason for citing titles from the title bar Fancy graphics on many web pages obscure the exact title of the page. Title bars, on the other hand, frequently have titles in clear text. When no titles are given in the title bar we are forced to use titles from web pages.
Title bars are where search engines get their titles for pages.
The titles comes from the title bars, not the web pages. In fact, the title words on the web pages are not mentioned in the citations above because they are graphics. Citing title bars can make spotting titles in search engines easier, especially when title bars and titles on the web page are very different.
