The title of your blog post plays a major role in the success of a post.
It is the title that compels users to click on the blog post and read it. In addition, the title of a post plays a significant role in a post’s search engine ranking.
Because titles are so important, let’s look at how we might construct better titles geared towards producing optimal results:
- A good title is one that is optimized not just for readers, but also for search engines.
If you are using WordPress, you also have an option to write two different titles for readers and for search engines.
I usually write one title for readers (on the blog) and then I write a different title for search engines (SEO meta title).
Finally, I write yet another title for social media platforms. This is a winning combination which makes sure I get the maximum amount of clicks from every platform.
In order to achieve optimal results, you need to have a “catchy” title for your blog post – one that inspires the reader of the title to want to click and read the article.
Should you need help creating titles, consider the following (totally awesome) list of title generators that will help you create catchy, inspiring, popular blog titles based on your keywords. I suggest that you bookmark them and use them frequently to guarantee you are getting the most clicks for your posts.

Hello Harsh, First of all I would like to thank you for this informative stuff .

@Rahul
I visited your site to see the demo of your plugin. The initial idea is good, and you can improve it way more. The problem with existing UI is, it’s hard to find the good title. One need to keep moving from one page to another page, to pick the best idea. How about you make is easier for end user to browse from a specific category. Such as:
“How to”
“Listicles”
And so on…
Think how you can make it easier for an end user like me to quickly pick the right epic title.
Hello harsh! I recently started working on one such viral blog but truly agreeing to you it’s dam hard to find a title moreover now a days when the number of such viral site are coming one by one everyday. It’s damn hard to find the variation of title moreover content which is indeed important. But since you have posted as usual it would be something worth to go for.
Have a good blogging Time 🙂
You mentioned that you use a separate title for the Blog Post and another one for the Meta. Can you elaborate on the benefits of following this practice. I always felt that it would be better to retain both.
I would be really interested in this one too!
