Creating The Best Blog Titles
Posted by Jason Rudland on Fri, Jan 27, 2012 @ 01:30 AM
Creating the best blog titles for a given post is as much a science as it is an art. While having a flair for turning a phrase is indeed a great way to attract attention to almost any written works, there are a few specific tips and tricks to bear in mind as you optimise your blog titles in order to appeal to search engines as much as your human readership.
Firstly, make sure that you decide on not only the best and most frequently searched keywords, but also keywords with a low competition. From there, make sure that you use these keywords as frequently as you realistically can within the body of the post itself (without it sounding unnatural), and then build a catchy blog title around the most relevant keyword or phrase that both describes the post's content, as well as enticing a reader to read on.
A bit of humour, well-used alliteration, and powerful or controversial (to a certain extent!) statements can all be used as excellent titles to a blog post, so it is important to learn how to optimise your writing style to suit the audience and keywords you wish to target online.
Once you have grasped the basic elements of creating the best blog titles for your post, you will find it far easier to adopt a familiar voice and pattern for the future.
Make sure that you keep turning out quality blog posts under a catchy title, and you will see your online popularity rise steadily as a result!
