Hi. I’ll have to disagree with you on the first article. SEO friendly titles are good. But witty, funny, interesting, human-readable, titles without keyword stuffing plays a much bigger role, especially in social media. I’ve read a good post (sorry, can’t remember the link) about Twitter friendly titles. The best ones are those that include numbers (15 jQuery plugins in under 5k), emotion (Wow! I just realized that my iPhone really kicks ass!), etc. They attract more attention than some stupid “jQuery plugins”, “iPhone apps”, … Get my point?
@kovshenin – It’s not an either/or situation. Truly good titles both excite readers and the engines. And it depends on what you are trying to get the attention of – a visitor or an engine – how certain titles in context are constructed. Short keyword titles work for regular readers and the engines. Job done. The bulk of your titles have to be good crossover titles that satisfy both – but there is no good reason to ignore traffic from the engines when you can easily get it. And sometimes that requires something bland. In the end, everyone is happy.
@Jack Humphrey right. But I don’t think that there’s a title that satisfies both search engines and readers. I mean “Wow!” is definitely not good for SEO, is it? And what about the “37+ exclusive …” titles? Who ever searches for 37 exclusive? =)
@kovshenin – How about: Dog Training Tips From A Cat – Satisfies search engines for keyword “dog training” and “dog training tips” and also packs a punch for interesting, funny, different kind of title.
@Jack Humphrey it does, but you cant get titles like that all the time. Or maybe you can =)
I don’t try – I guess you could but creativity isn’t something I can do on demand. Some posts, some titles, some topics just won’t be home runs. In fact, if top 10 in Google or viral spreading around the web is the measure of success for every post we make, most posts on any blog would be considered failures. And we can’t be that hard on ourselves.
