Do You Know The Importance of The First Five Sentences of A Blog Post?

Thanks for the tips... they are always so useful

Midori, I always try to say in my <h1> tag what I said in my title tag.

It also tells the search engines what the post is about.

Good advice for folks needing to tweak their blogs to get more subscribers.

Midori, I've really been working on this to make my posts better. Tell me what Missy meant about the <h1> tag and the title tag??

Those first five sentences are crucial.  So are the keywords throughout.  These are the kinds of things that get us that good Google juice!

Thanks for the info. I've tried to be pointed and yet creative with my titles and keywords, but I haven't given as much thought as I need to for the first five sentences.

So true Midori!  Thanks for the reminder.

Midori --- I am a loyal reader of your blog --- you have the best post -- always something new, something exciting, inspirational and great reminders like this post.  Thanks for sharing.

Great advise, Midori, as usual.  I'll take all the readers / subscribers / juice I can get.  Those things definitely translate to $$$$!

Midori - I do try to repeat my title in the first few sentences of my posts.  You have given us a lot of good reasons to ay particular attention to the first few sentences of our posts.

Sounds like you are teaching Journalism 101...if you don't grab 'em at the headline...they are allll gone !

Hi Midori - so true on all points and this is why you are such a great trainer - always sharing and wanting everyone to improve - love it! ~Anne Marie

Midori - I guess I was not aware of this, or at least did not think much about it. I do try to make the early part of my posts attention grabbers, something I learned in English classes. makes sense to me.

Midori - thank you for the explanation. I'll be working on it!

Midori - The first five sentences can say it all !  As does the title !  As usual, a great powerful blog post !  Hope all is well : )  ~ Chris

Also, just featured in "Build a Better Blog" group !

Your posts are attention grabbers too.

Great points.  I don't know that I always do this, but I will from now on.  It only makes sense.

Midori, just found this via a reblog - there are so many times when I write and rewrite the first sentences, knowing that they have to grab people. I'm not always successful, but I'll keep trying!

Midori,

Also, the first 5 lines of the description on MLS goes to Realtor.com. But I did not think of it in aq wider sense

Congrats on the feature
