Most browsers show the title of the page at the top of the windowThe text inside <TITLE> is not displayed in the document. However, most browsers will display the title at the top of the window.

Don't confuse <TITLE> with headers. Although it is common to put the same text in <TITLE> as in <H1 ...>, so that the "title" is the first thing on the page, they are two separate tags and two separate contents:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My Home Page </TITLE>

<BODY>
<H1>My Home Page </H1>
Hi there!
</BODY>

this page

Search engines such as Google will use the <TITLE> content to display the title of the page when they return information about it. It makes your page look bad if they instead display "No Title".
