SEO Tip : Place keywords in your title

May 6th, 2008 | Posted in SEO Tip of Day, blogging

One of the best ways to start to improve your search engine rankings is by making sure that you always include keywords in your blog title. Search engines just love it when you let them know what you are writing about!

Google in particular really seems to pay a lot of attention to the titles of your blog entries, so if SEO is a concern for you, then make sure that you give the google bot what it is looking to see. A lot of bloggers try to come up with cute, or overly clever titles to their entries, but you would be well advised to avoid this, and just get straight to the point. If you are writing an entry, for example, about using keywords to boost your SEO, then make sure you state that clearly in your title.

Think about your habits when you go searching for something. What are you usually typing into the search engines? Names and things. You are not alone, and research shows that this is pretty universal for internet users, so make sure that you pay attention to this when you are writing your blog posts.

Don’t waste your time writing about George Bush and his politics, and then title your post “One man against the world“. Maybe the title more refelects your thoughts on George Bush, but its not really something that a user will look for. Make sure you are clear about what you going to blog about in your posts.

Make sure you don’t go crazy though and try to stuff 10 or 15 keywords into your title. Keep it simple, and keep it clean, and you will start to see more hits from the search engines.
