SEO tip - Choose a good title to attract traffic

I am certainly no expert in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) but this little I know. If you would like to attract traffic to your site...

Choose a good title for your post for the keyword(s) you are targetting. This will provide the right meta tags for search engines (Google, Yahoo!, etc.) to locate your site/article and to place your article high up on SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages).

For example, I just posted about audio books with this title: Buying audio books online. I then performed a search on Google using the exact terms and guess what. The article showed up on Page 1 (albeit listed at the bottom in 10th position) among About 430,000,000 results. That is 430 million. How cool is that!?

Here is the proof..

This is just an example. There are posts in the blog that constantly make the front page of Google search results.

Try it and see increased traffic..

How to Increase Traffic to your site

Checking out Site Analytics is one of the things I do online. I find it interesting to see the keywords that get people to my site. Currently, Bangkok flood situation is contributing a big part of the traffic. A number of people arrived looking for medical uniforms and medical scrubs as well this week. Strangely, though the campaign is over in Malaysia, McDonalds Coke Glass is also a popular keyword phrase this week.

If you are selling things or running an online business, getting traffic to your site is not an option. Using the right keywords will attract traffic to your site and that will translate into business for you.

A tip to increase traffic to your site

Google has a nice doodle today. It's to honour Robert Bunsen who would have been 200 today if he were still alive. Does the name ring a bell? Bunsen? Something to do with science?

Robert Bunsen, the German scientist who developed the Bunsen burner.

What else is happening around the world today? Libya is still worrisome, so is the nuclear leakage in Japan, floods in Perlis, mudslide in Krabi, Thailand, and tourists had to be helped out to safety on Tao Island. McD served its last breakfast this morning. The outlets must have been crowded with long queues. And traffic to my sites seeking printable vouchers has also tapered off.

I'm no expert on SEO but I must be doing something right on keywords in the title of the posts. I read that keywords in the title can get your post/blog listed higher up on the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) meaning that your post appears higher up in the page of search results. Research has shown that chances of people clicking on your site are much higher when you are listed on top, preferably above the fold on page 1.

Suggesting a Link-name or Link-term

Have you ever received a request from a fellow-blogger asking to exchange links? If you have and have been asked as to the link-name or link-term you would like used, was it easy for you to suggest it?

If your blog has a niche subject, then you would have no problem suggesting a link-name or link-term, but if your blog is like mine, a general blog of a myriad of topics, that task would somehow be rather challenging, wouldn't you say?

A tip here, you might want to start figuring that out just in case you get a request for a link-exchange.

While we are at names and terms for a link, how many of you have used the expression "ew" or "eww" or even "ewwwwwwwwww". You might be happy to note that "ew" made it to the Oxford English Dictionary in December, so it is now a valid English word. More words here on the Oxford English Dictionary site.

And yes, "Eww!!" when you have flower pots being knocked down and broken and you have to clean up the mess and replanting the plants. This time of the year sees strong winds blowing. This is s sure sign of the impending Lunar New Year which falls on Jan 26 (I think).

I am avoiding Chinatown at this time of the year, especially in the evenings/nights as you can be caught in really heavy traffic in that part of Kuala Lumpur though for tourists, it is a great time to see Chinatown with its bustling activity and extra goodies on sale, i.e., the paraphernalia associated with the Lunar New Year.
