Hopefully you found this by searching for, "Good Titles for Blog Posts" or something similar, I made this post to answer a question and show how effective titles are. This came about from a question by someone on my Free Internet Marketing Course.

Hi Rick,

one thing that has been annoying me. how to create ( The perfect page title ), I know this is probably kid stuff for most.yet I have read it has a strong impact on the relevance of listing with Google or any the search engines for that matter.

Do you know of any online tools that helps to create page title on the fly? been doing allot research on this and find very few resources if any - besides Google tools. please let me know and thank you again for guidance.

My answer: A web page is really just a text file with <tags> that make certain things behave differently. Just as a keyphrase should be used within the text, hyperlinked to similar things and put in <h1> tags for example, it should also be in the <title> tag. So to find a good title use something like Wordtracker, but also use your brain. For example, after reading your question, I thought that the title 'Good Titles for Blog Posts' might be appropriate for this answer, but Wordtracker didn't reveal much at all. But, I'm going to give it a go and see what happens.

If your phrase you are going for is something like 'Good Titles for Blog Posts' but you want a longer title, use your keyphrase at the start. For example, I could have called this 'Rick's thoughts on good titles for blog posts', but really 'good titles for blog posts by Rick' will probably work much better.

You have also probably noticed that the keyphrase got mentioned a few times throughout this post: that helps too, but don't over do it. Infact I think I might have overdone it already which is why I am adding this paragraph at the end of the post. Good luck.

p.s. My general rule of thumb is that if you are spending time wondering what to do, at least do something else while you are thinking about it!
