Blogging tips & www social trends
31 Mar

It may be useful to change the title and perform some on page optimization of your posts after they have been published, to better target the search terms used to find your page.
Keeping an eye on your SERP positions for your entry pages can help you to understand when it can be worthwhile changing the title of one of that pages.
Benefits:
Here’s an example of how this can work: some days ago, I changed the title of my Google Guide from “Ultimate Google Search Guide” to “Ultimate Google Guide”, and than to “Google Search Tips (Ultimate Google Guide)”, and I inserted the term “Google Guide” a couple of times in the text of my post.
Here are the serp results before and after the changes (google results)
| search term | ranking on 3/28/07 | ranking on 3/31/07 |
|---|---|---|
| google guide | 12 | 7 |
| google search | 124 | 102 |
| google tips | 521 | 84 |
| ultimate google guide | 1 | 1 |
| ultimate google search | 3 | 3 |
| ultimate google tips | 2 | 2 |
I don’t care I moved from position 124 to position 102 for “google search”, I don’t care I moved from 521 to 84 for “google search tips”, but being promoted on the first page for “google guide” it’s something that can really boost my traffic ![]()
