Optimize Post title For Readers and Search Engine

by Harsh Agrawal on August 9, 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This is one of the most common SEO mistake done by any blogger, is not optimizing their Blog title for search engine and keep it almost unsearchable in search engine.

For example , if you write a post title like Make money online with infolinks Competition for this keyword is very high since it contains the word Make money online but you optimize this title for search engine friendly , you might like to keep it like Infolinks intext advertisement program review.

So we have seen two case here :

User friendly title : Make money online with infolinks
Search engine friendly title : Infolinks intext advertisement program review.

Now the question is how to attain such scenario, when we can keep our post title friendly for search engine and for users as well.

If you are Using Wordpress as your blogging platform, headover to my previous post on :

Optimum setting guide for All in one SEO plugin.

Now when ever you write an article. After Writing user friendly title, drop down to the end of page and in the ALL in one SEO pack , add Search engine friendly title and this title will be displayed in search engine.

More over try to add a custom description of the post in less then 160 words, and tentative keywords for your post. This will help you to get better ranking in SERP’s.

Example :

User Friendly Title

Search Engine Friendly title

Search Engine result

Make it a habit to optimize your blog post for both readers and search engine. This will help you to rank better in search engine.
