Especially when you’ve read the answers to the following five most frequently asked questions about blog titles.
How do I get visitors to read my blog?
The most important thing if you want people to read your blog is to make the blog title catchy. Nothing is less tempting to a potential visitor than a blog title that isn’t clear and doesn’t seem to have a sense of purpose. So whatever you do about your blog title, make sure there is no question about the purpose and intent of the blog.
Is it important that my blog title is closely related to my blog content or can I use a clever title?
Difficult question!
There’s nothing wrong with being clever when choosing a title for your blog. However, it is much more important that the purpose of the blog is clear to the reader. If you can come up with a clever title that is still closely related to your blog content, then you should! If you can’t be witty and stay on topic… stay on topic!
How concerning is SEO in relation to the title?
SEO is undoubtedly a problem when deciding the title of your blog. If you can find a keyword that gets a lot of traffic in your niche, it would definitely be a good idea to include it in your blog title.
What kind of domain name should I get for my blog?
If you based your blog title on a set of keywords, it would be great if you could include them in your domain name as well. In many cases, you won’t be able to find a domain name that matches the keywords you’ve chosen, however, the closer you get, the better your results will be in the long run.
Where do you find inspiration for titles?
The Internet is full of sources of inspiration. Social bookmarking sites like Digg and StumbleUpon in particular are great places to look for inspiration. If you do a search for your main topic on Digg or StumbleUpon, you’ll definitely find lots of great blog title ideas!
