Fact: The TITLE of your article comprises the unique URL of your article.

REMEMBER to Never change the title of a live article after you submit or post it because it effectively re-writes the URL.

The result…

…it confuses the search engines and that’s BAD for SEO!

A unique title with a consistent URL means your article can always be found in the same place and that’s GOOD for SEO.

Here’s a tip: Always target both human readers and search engines.   If you always make the title “keyword-relevant” and that your title reads naturally to humans the search engines will also love you too…

…if it’s possible for a computer to actually ‘love’ that is – lol!!

The experts say to use 50+ characters in a title.  Studies show that longer titles maximize your ability to attract readers with a specific promise that is highly relevant to your niche.

Here’s a bad example:

Article Title: “Is Your Article Title Correct?” The article goes on to explain exactly what we are talking about here but…

…This title is short and vague; it is NOT optimized for SEO and does not tell the reader how they will benefit from the article.

Good Example:

Article title: “How To Get A Higher Page Rank With Your Articles – 7 Keys to Boosting Your Page Ranking”.

Your title contains multiple highly-targeted key phrases without being redundant.  It WILL attract search engines and readers alike, and makes the specific promise of 7 tips.

The experts also say…

“Avoid punctuation that breaks URL’s (including periods, slashes, colons, and pound signs), and refrain from article parts – Be sure the title “stands alone” to provide a positive reader experience and to maximize your chances for higher article distribution.”

As always, study what works and what doesn’t.  You will want to review your web sites analytics to see which articles have the most views and clicks.

You also should always research the Top 15  results for what you are writing about. See what is Viewed as The Most important and follow what articles are getting the most BUZZ in your niche.  This will help you to brainstorm new ideas.

Following these and other simple steps and you will generate correct article titles the first time which is an important and viable step toward top-notch SEO!

Plus – You will always come up with an endless stream of quality titles that require little or no revision.

If you’re like us here at Northwest Arkansas SEO, you’re always looking for anything that will help increase the search engines interest and traffic to your blog.

You come here for answers, insight, recommendations and information pertaining to S.E.O. (Search Engine Optimization)…right?

Well, you are truly in luck because I recently was introduced to a site called Blogging Beginners and I’d like to share my review and some exciting information with you.

Actually to be completely honest and up-front, I was recently selected to be a beta tester of the site along with a select hand full of other online marketers.

Now, before you get nervous and think, “oh gosh, another program only for people or businesses who are already online and up to speed on how to take a business online;” stay with me for just a minute!

GOOD NEWS!!! THIS PROGRAM IS FOR EVERYBODY!!!

I must admit, at first I didn’t think much about it since I already had more than one blog up and running. I am no longer a beginner but after reading the page Randy sent me, I found out that they offered much more than the normal, you know…the “Go to blogger.com and a start blog – blah…blah…blah” that everybody is preaching and charging outrageous prices for.

Nope…this program is NOTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL!

The two long-time professional online marketers who founded this site not only offer and show you all the basic set up you’ll need for a successful blog, (knowledge that you’d have to search for all over the internet but they also take you by the hand and show you all those little IMPORTANT things, the ones that have been possibly holding you back.

Randy The Hermit (one of the founders of the site) is a search engine optimization expert and just happens to be our Certified SEO Technician here at Northwest Arkansas SEO.  Randy’s Blog is HowToBlogSite.com and you can get to the blog from here

He shows you how to configure your blog for the search engines. What plugins you should have, how to set up your permalinks, even how to find a niche and do your keyword research and this just scratches the surface of what you get from his background and vast knowledge.

Wizzer (the other founder of Blogging Beginners) will explain to you what RSS is, how to use it and how to give some one a bonus for signing up to your RSS feed. Then he takes you into building a list with your blog and why and how to use Twitter.

All the videos are easy to follow and they put them in a PDF format. I had never seen videos in a PDF file before.   I had to upgrade my PDF reader to watch them but that was a piece of cake and if you don’t know how…THEY’LL SHOW YOU!

I LOVE working with videos in this way, you will too!  All the resources are right under the video and just a click away and the best part is, if you want to watch something from the 29th minute of a 40 minute video you don’t have to wait for the whole video to download again. You just open it up and go to the spot you want by dragging the control bar. They have a video online that shows you how to do this.

They also provide you with content for your blog and we all know how important content is…right?

Every month they give you ten new niches you can choose to work with and twenty five posts for each niche which can save you a lot of work.

I thought I was an experienced blogger and SEO Consultant but I was amazed when I opened their Fast Start Guide and went through it quickly and I was surprised at what I didn’t know and was able to add to my knowledge base.

I was also surprised at the guidance,  they WILL take you from knowing nothing to having your own blog up and running, optimized for the search engines and customized for you in an easy to follow step by step process.

But I haven’t even told you the best part!!

If you are like me you have probably purchased a few other courses and you get part way through them and you get stuck because there is something you don’t quite understand. Frustrating isn’t it? The worse part is you go to the people that sold you the course and you ask them and all they do is try to sell you something else.

Blogging Beginners will answer YOUR questions. That’s right as part of the membership you can request videos on anything that has to do with your blog and they will provide them not only for you but for all the members. So maybe you had a question and didn’t ask it the solution might show up because another member asked.

Now you are probably thinking this is another one of the $500 per month coaching services…

…Well, it is but it won’t cost you anywhere near $500 per month it won’t even cost you $100 per month or even $50 per month.

But because they do answer your questions membership is limited, they can’t answer 1000’s of question per week.

BECAUSE OF THIS, I highly recommend that if you’re serious about starting a Search Engine – Optimized Blog, a blog you can make money with,  you should sign up RIGHT NOW while you can GET a membership at their unbelievable price.

Thanks for reading and visiting Northwest Arkansas SEO.

Sincerely yours,

Blogging Beginners MEMBER,
