It’s All in the Title

The great thing about blogging is the freedom that comes with it. Depending on what you blog about, you develop a specific audience that is keenly interested in what you have to say. One of the best reasons to join BlogBurst is to expand your readership and drive more traffic back to your site. Once your blog is featured on a publisher’s site, readers can click on your blog link or byline to click back to your site.

But just what hooks the reader (aside from your brilliant post)?

The title of your post, of course

A well-written title can mean the difference between readers losing your headline in the busy content on publisher pages and enticing the reader to click through, exposing them to your post and your blog. A great title is the starting point that just might turn a new reader into an avid fan of your blog. Keep it succinct, give it some punch and help draw the reader in to all your blog has to offer.

    One issue with that. I’ve found the more simple and direct my post titles are, the higher they rank on Google, MSN and Yahoo.
