Powerful Tips On Writing Blog Articles - Part 1/4

Writing on a blog is like writing a magazine. Just like building a new web site, you need content on your blog to get people to be interested to read your blog. The single most important thing in an article is the title when it comes to writing.

How To Title a Blog

The title is bascially the name that you will give to call your blog. This title is different from the title you use for each article you post. For instant, the title of this blog is called GatherSuccess. When choosing a title for your blog, you want to choose something that is related to what your niche is about.

For my case, I really wanted to created a blog to share my success with everyone and gather all of them in one simple website and that was the reason I named the blog GatherSuccess.

When deciding on your blog title, if possible you should also try to use your keyword research to target the best keyword or phrase to use in the title of your blog.

Choosing Great Blog Article Titles

In my experience, the best article title are the ones that capture both search engine traffic and audience at the same time. It is always recommend to always insert keywords into your title to get the maxmium exposure from Google search.

For instant, if you want to start the keyword “Golf Tips”. You must have the word “Golf Tips” in your title. For example, “10 Great Golf Tips To Play Golf”. The tricky part in choosing titles, it also must be attractive to your readers at the same time to ensure they are interested in the topic.

It will take you some time to practice it and find out what titles are great for your blog. The best way to find out is to install tracking plugins on your blog to see what your readers love to read on your blog.

Using Keyword Effectively On Your Articles

As with any website you want to always optimized your website pages to get high ranks in search engine. To do so, you want to repeat the keyword in your article a few times in the text of the article itself. Even if you are simply posting a simple announcement post, you can write a brief introduction to about yourself to mention the keyword once or twice in the introduction :)

That’s it for part 1 of “Powerful Tips On Writing Blog Articles”, in the next article I will be talking more about what topics you should write on your article, the length of it and what to write about.

sometimes titles are more important than contents.

Hi Alvin… coming up with really good headings is so tricky at times! The title of your blog is something that you need to spend quite a lot of thought and time over because once it is there it dictates what happens next in terms of where you go with your blog. I love the way you created your name!

Thanks Alvin,

In general I’ve found it hard work to get the balance between a meaning full and related title to the article published.

True I can customise the article but if you have more than just a few blogs plus other life’s issues and using PLR articles for different niches, time becomes an issue - Dont say out source :)

What I tend to do is focus more on the better performing blogs and then have then drive traffic to the rest.

It’s an okay balance for now

I wish I had picked up on this tips when I first began writing articles. Some of my articles I know were great but the title was a dud.
