For an ideal website, the length for Title Tag should be NO more than 64 characters!
Is it practically true? Do the successful ecommerce sites follow this?!
I notice otherwise, in many cases……!!!
A site that belongs to one of the leading website designers, comes up within the top 5 on the first page of google, has even more than 300 characters in its title tags.

This is true for many sites that rank.
You should have a look at the links he has pointing to the page.
Check the number of links
the anchor text of the links (do they use the keyword the page appears for in google)
The main thing in ranking normal and ecommerce websites are the amount of links point to the site page and the most important part is the anchor text used for the link.
I hope this answers your question and points you in the right direction.

Google places some restrictions for every aspect of SEO. In that, title tags limit should be 60 characters only. We put more than that also. But is of no use.
You told that one site's title is 300 chars and is in first page. Check that site's keywords, first 3 or 4 keywords only will come first. Others wont come.

Five Google Ranking Tips
Most Google ranking tips deal with getting incoming links (or backlinks as they are also referred to) to your website. And for good reason. The more quality incoming links (determined by the rank of the site that the link originates from and the relevance of the keyword) you have, the higher your Google Page Rank will be and the more visible you will be to your prospects and/or customers. Here are some tricks to build your incoming links.
Submit your site to search engine directories. some directories charge a fee but many of them are free. If you're on a tight budget, stick to the free ones. These can get you some free links back to your website. Sign up with as many as you can. The more links you have into your site, the better your page rank.
This is one of the most overlooked but best of Google ranking tips. Join forums that are relevant to your industry. When you participate in forums and include the link to your website in your signature, you will get links back to your website. This is a very effective way to establish your reputation in your industry and raise your page rank at the same time.
Create an ezine (or newsletter). Taking the time to create a newsletter that you can send out to subscribers is definitely worth it. This keeps your visitors up to date with what you are doing and brings them back to visit your website on a consistent basis. You can also submit your ezine to an ezine directory which will link back to your website and give you more free incoming links.
Take advantage of article marketing. If you can create (or hire someone to do it for you) articles that pertain to your business, with your website information at the bottom, and submit them to article directories, you will get more traffic and links.
Ask for links from other related sites' webmasters. This is a rather "old-school" tactic but is still effective, albeit frustrating and time-consuming. Find sites that are related to your industry and write to their webmasters requesting that they link back to you. Some will not answer you. Some will say "no". Some will ask you to link to them as well. And others will just link to you.
You have higher chances of getting the results you want with this if your site contains valuable information. While your ultimate goal is to have high-rank sites linking to yours, you can start out with any rank (as long as the content is valuable and relevant to what you have to offer). As you bring in more links, your rank will go up as well and you will be able to attract the higher ranking sites.
Hopefully these five Google ranking tips will help you achieve the ranking and traffic you're aiming for.

It is the proper length which is actually read by google for titals. The text after this doesn't count by google. So this has to be optimized.

I thing 63 character with spaces google will count and after that character will not be cached by google. Now you are saying about ranking. I thing ranking matter is not only based on on pages, off page seo is also matter for ranking, just like link building, directory submission, book marking and show many thing which help to improve your ranking as well as alexa ranking.

Yes and remember that meta descriptions and tags don't really effect search rankings. They are mainly good for clicks. Also using keywords in your meta data really just lets your competition know what target keywords you are after.

You have larger likelihood of getting the side effects you want with this if your internet site contains valued information. While your final reason is to have good-point web-sites linking to yours, you can start with any title

In Title tag only 65 characters are allowed to display.Remember to use with 65 characters.

The Title tag should not contain more than 60 characters. There is also no use of using so long titles as it is not of much use. It should contain your keywords as well and should be attractive.

I think for Title point of view 75 keyword is best and for description 220 keyword is better for that.

Well, I guess based on my observation for all of my competitors site, all of their title tags are too long but still they rank well on Google and actually rank number one. The most important thing here is avoid keyword stuffing in your title tags, meta description and especially in meta keyword section.

The first reason is that Google will only display the first 70 characters, in general, in their SERPs. After that, they're truncated. Users aren't going to see them. So, if you are writing title tags longer than 70 characters, you're basically writing it for the search engines, and time and time again we've found that if you're doing something specifically for search engines and not for users, there is probably not a lot of search engine value in it. There might be some, but probably not much.

You can brand your company's name through keyword density in the Title tag as well. By including your company name you can establish popularity for branding your company for specific products and services that you offer. With popularity the name of your company can become a regular search term within the search engines.

This is one of the most overlooked but best of Google ranking tips
But,
every engine displays your page differently and depending on what you are trying to target there are different approaches to optimizing by engine. Submit your site to search engine directories. some directories charge a fee but many of them are free. If you're on a tight budget, stick to the free ones.
These can get you some free links back to your website. Sign up with as many as you can. The more links you have into your site, the better your page rank.Multi-event attribution aims to distribute the credit of a conversion to all advertising touch points that influenced the conversion. The distribution of credit aims to be proportional to the level of measured influence that the touchpoint had on a conversion.
It should also be known that if you don't include a Meta Description or if Google feels a better description for your page could be given by using a web snippet, then the description shown can be up to 320 characters.

I agree with you. If the Title tag is too long, the website will look fake and most of the readers will not try to read the full title itself. So it is always better to have short title. That’s sweet and smart.

title tag has less than 70 charcters and also they are relevent for the user and keywords are rich woth meaning..
keep in mind that title should be sort and meaningful.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a difficult process and getting a first page Google ranking isn’t easy with the high level of competition. To make matters even more complicated, search engines are changing the way they rank web content all of the time and recent changes have placed more emphasis on rich-media content such as video.

Its better to use characters in meta tags with in allowed limit.I haven't seen its much effect on ranking but SEs truncate exceeded characters from tags and it may loses your traffic while website appears in search snippet.

This is true for many of te websites which rank good on search engines. As a search engines takes not more than 60 characters of a title tag so length of a title tag should be the same for better promotion of a website.

There is no such rule as the title length should be 64 characters. But it is advisable to have title of max 64 characters as search engines mostly prefer to show max. 70 characters.
So it is preffered that you should give you message in first 64 characters so that users can understand what your website is all about.
