subject: Easily Create Fast Traffic Sucking Blog Post Titles [print this page] With the recent addition of a highly popular wordpress plugin your blog post title has become even more important.
This popular free plugin is ComLuv or CommentLove or CommentLuv.
What this clever plugin does is pull in your last blog title, so you better hope it's a good one.
Let's face it, a boring, bland blog title will not attract the attention of readers eyes.
Now even if you are not taking advantage of this super plugin, just remember that your title also appears in search engine results, possibly the anchor text when a website owner links back to your blog and your title appears on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter when pulled in from RSS feeds.
So here are 3 quick ways to ensure your titles suck the traffic right from out under the other blog owners noses!
First, be personable, include YOU in your blog title.
People are always interested in the what's in it for me scenario, so tell them it's for them and they will want to read it, remember don't write your blog posts for the millions, target a specific group of people and your results will be much more fruitful.
Second, play with your words!
Of course you do want your most relevant keywords in your blog post title to ensure you attract the attention of the main search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing, but that does not mean your title has to be boring and turn your readers off.
Third, keep a blog title swipe file.
When visiting other blogs, look for the most popular posts and mimic them.
Notice which words they use apart from the main keywords.
Great words to use in blog titles can be:
Easy
Simple
Quick
Fast
Free
How is the blog author making those boring old titles exciting?
Are they trying to shock?
Are they trying to be controversial?
Are they asking a question?
Are they being personal?
Once you begin to monitor the titles used by other, more successful bloggers, you will soon have a list of titles, that you can play around with to create successful blog titles of your own.
Just remember that your blog post title must be enticing and attention grabbing but be sure that your content is relevant to the title or risk the chance of negative comments.
