There are a few things you should consider when constructing your blog titles. Bare in mind that the title of your blog is very important for helping search engines know what your blog post is about. Here are a few tips for making your blog titles better in the future.

<strong>Keep blog titles should be short.</strong> If you make your blog titles too long, it effects the navigation in your blog layout. Long titles will have to wrap on the page and this looks tacky and effects everything around it.

<strong>Eliminate unnecessary words in your title. </strong>Use only very necessary words that refer to the content. Use keywords only that will help the search engines determine what the page is about.

<strong>Restate the title in your content.</strong> If you can't get your point across in the actual title, then restate the original title in your content.

The title helps search engines understand your page and helps entice readers to click on the link to read the page, and compels them to continue reading. Get the most out of your titles by keeping them short, succinct and keyword-rich. If you can't say everything you need to say in a precise way in the title, summarize in your title, then restate your original (longer) title in the content area. Good titles will help your articles get noticed.

I am a bit confused. I read several times that you need to come up with a catching title, or you risk people not to open it.

Thanks for your comment Jon, and this is true. You just have to balance everything... you need people to click on it, but you also need to make the title fit in the layout of your blog. It's a hard call, but one we all must make.

Thanks,
