As, depending on verbosity settings in screenreaders, a user may
potentially only hear the title when present, i'd suggest duplicating
the actual link text in the title as well

<a href="http://sitename.com/heres/another/long/url/for/example.html"
title="Example page at Sitename -
http://sitename.com/heres/another/long/url/for/example.html">Example
page at Sitename

or similar.
