What is in a Post Title?

When I first started blogging I made the very same mistake as many new bloggers do.  The tendency is to come up with some type of cutesy title for a blog post.  The problem is cutesy titles seldom contain any keywords so the post doesn't get noticed by the search engines.  You can have an awesome post but because the title doesn't reflect that awesomeness it simply doesn't get noticed by the seaarch engines. There are a couple of ways to deal with this problem.
  1. Write the blog post first then create the title.  This method increases the chance you will use one or more pertinent keywords in the title.
  2. Formulate the title using keywords before you write the post.  This is a bit more difficult but can be equally effective.  Key here is sprinkling the title keywords through the post as well.
