Similar title tags on multiple posts

Do not optimize multiple post with single title tag, When you use same title tags on multiple posts  it may cause your search engine ranking and Search engines assumes you are trying to spam the media and you can attain negative results some times.

Singular plural variations

You can use synonyms to build title tags like Mobile phones, Cellular phones, Mobiles are suggested and plural variations such as “Mobile phone”, “Mobile Phones” are most accepted practices. But before write with synonyms make sure that your title tags are not cluttered with synonyms.

Brand names

You can use your brand name to build title tags when it populated by peoples. For example what you can see in the SERP when you hit the brand name “DELL”, Google displays its full page or first 5 places of a page to result Dell’s products, So when you trying to use your brand name as a title tag or a part of the title tag just make sure to use your brand name at least its widely popularized by peoples.
