Creating Titles That The Search Engines Will Love
By Kimberly Bock | March 11, 2008
In the previous post we talked a little bit about creating titles from a social media perspective.
It just so happens that Barry Welford over at BPWrap had also written a post regarding title creation, but from a search engine perspective.
Since your aim is to have the search engines sending you the majority of your traffic, it’s always best to create titles that are ‘friendly‘ to them.
Of course, he also discusses optimization of your META description and URL of your post, in addition to the titling.
He’s one of those types of people that’s approachable too, so feel free to comment and / or drop questions that you need addressed. (or to me of course)

Until next time, have fun learning SEO!

That really is great, Kimberley. Thanks indeed. I think it’s important to get the human angle right first as you did in your previous post. Without losing that, you must then see how you can make sure the search engine robots find what they need. As you say the two go hand in hand.

Thanks for dropping by Barry.
It’s ironic that we posted about the same topic on the same night isn’t it? I think what you posted is newbie friendly too. Thanks for that.

Hi Kimberly - funny you mention titles. I recently spent quite a bit of time constructing a post about Seth Godin and Tim Ferriss and while I was not trying to create a search engine friendly title I seem to have succeeded a little bit.
Currently, if you search “Seth Godin Tim Ferriss” in Google my site comes up as #1!
Keep up the great content.
