You may have noticed that by default Magento only shoves the product name up into the page title of any given product page for the front end customers. You say..hey, I want the category there too, what gives!?!? You just have to understand the Magento way of handling meta tags, see below…———————————-
1) Login to admin…
2) Goto the product information screen (where you edit the product details) and click on the “Meta Information” tab on the left side.
3) Remove the title. That’s right, I said it. Remove the title in it’s entirety.
Why you ask? Magento takes the contents of that meta title box and places it up top in the page title regardless of what other information you want up there. If you remove the meta title then by default Magento will place the product name and the category names in the page title.
IE: You have a product names “Daniel’s Sauce”. You have “Daniel’s Sauce” listed in the meta title section and when you load the product page on the frontend you see that the page title is “Daniel’s Sauce”. If you remove the meta title altogether and go to the products frontend you will notice that page title of “Daniel’s Sauce – CategoryName”.

Side note…I’ve been trying to find a way to allow the category to be displayed in the title even when there is a meta title for the product, I haven’t found a solution. If you know of one please comment.
