    Hi guys,

    I would like to ask you how should I choose the right title for my articles to increase visitors from Search Engines?

    I am using keyword planner tool in Adwords and I always choose the keyword that is on top of Average Monthly Searches. I use this keyword then in title. Is that ok? Or should I choose titles differently?

    Thank you!

    Dont go with the keyword with maximum searches however, use the search keyword with lesser searches & that contain you original keyword. i.e,

    As per your article your title could be "Make Money Online"
    Inspite of going with the high traffic and competitive keyword use something like: "make money online from home free to start"

    This way you site will get indexed quickly on macro keyword "make money online from home free to start" and with the time and quality content you get on your site, it will also get indexed on Major keyword like: Make Money Online.

    Titles that includes {1. How to 2. [List-related numbers] 3. Free 4. You 5. Tips} get more attention.
    1. Therefore, you should try to include any one of these in title.
    2. Besides it you should choose Google's suggestion that Google suggests when we start to type in search box. Most of the people prefer to google suggestion.
    3. You should take article title ideas from some sites like http://www.hubspot.com/blog-topic-generator, http://www.backlinkgenerator.net/titlegenerator/

    always include long tail keyword in the title you are focusing in your content. Moreover, the title will be the composition of Llong tail keywords+ powerful words that give an emotional touch to the viewers. It increase the ctr.

    the keywords should contain how to, reason for, methods and many other forms. you can use titles that deal with health because many people are searching for health related articles, creativity and many more. All the best

    If you are trying to reach an online audience, think of what keywords a reader might use to find your article. Your title should never mislead the reader. A title can also reflect the purpose of the article, such as historical context, theoretical approach, or argument.

    When ever thinking of the article title. Don't create for search engines!! Think for user point of view.
    "How can a user find your article in the name of what" - just keep this in mind. Just think in the point of an user.
    once you find the user point of view you article will surely hits bunch of traffic.

    Keep it short, simple and containing the keywords you're targeting.

    Hi,
    There are so many good article writers those who write very well on their own blog but they don’t even get 100 visitors every day. Besides, a good article writer builds link for his article so that anyone can get it easily through Google search. But how many links can a blogger build to get good visitors if he has 100 articles in his blog? At present, it will take long time if you want your post to be shown in the first page of Google search and it will also require proper SEO. But everyone is following the same way, you will see that today your post are on the first page of Google but tomorrow it will be vanished from the first page.
    In this world of competition how will your survive and dominate by spending less time? May be you think about it 100 times every day, but you can’t find the way. May be you started link building again for your blog that you did previously. :)

    I have an better idea about choosing a best title for your articles. For an example of keyword "Make Money Google Adsense", in my opinion - "How to make more money using Google AdSense - secrets revealed". I placed targeted keyword in my article title (example)(bold).
    For an example of "SEO Company" keyword - Hiring a SEO Company can be hard for you.
    I want to tell you - make your article title attractive, long, unique, readable and feeling engaged.

    Good luck

    Your title has to resonate with the reader. It has to hit the reader's heart in an area of interest to him/her.

    Example: I recently added to my website an article entitled "Cowards in the Pulpit!" Well, that topic (and the words carefully chosen to describe it) created quick interest. In a short time the article had over 100 Facebook Likes and a bunch of "Shares." With over 80% of Americans identifying themselves as "Christian," that hit a large audience.

    Don't think about seo aspects only when choosing titles. Think about the user. Think how you could motivate the user and get the attention of the user. Choose something that attracts the user. Also remember that the title should related to the content inside. If possible add keywords to the title.
