Blog: Post names

by Vulk

So I ordered some articles. 4 to be exact, each of them are targeting one keyword. When entering the post name, do I just copy the first sentence and put it in there? Should I mention the keyword on all 4 of the post names?

    Ideally the post name needs to target the keyword or a variation of a keyword phrase AND have something that invokes curiosity. It's hard to say without more details.

    Hi there, make the post name if possible just the keyword or keyword phrase you're trying to rank for as it will be most effective for seo.

    ie how to blog rather than how to blog in 30 minutes a day

    make sure that the keyword you're trying to rank for is in the header tag and that you mention it in the first and last paragraphs on the post.

    also try to underline it bold it and italicize it at least once on the post.

    regards

      I try to use just the keyword phrase as the post slug, so the keyword is in the url.

      For the post title (which becomes the page title), I try to work the key phrase in and still make it attractive to humans. I also try to get the key phrase into the snippet that becomes the description meta tag, while still writing for humans.

      Formatting for SEO is fine, but googlebot has never bought a thing from me. People have.

        What is your approach when the URL name is not specific to the post? For example, one of my sites is a review site that targets three different niches (non competitive). My URL, therefore, is not product or niche intensive, yet some of my posts will be, directed toward one of the niches.

          I'm still on the first cup of coffee this morning, so the names won't be highly original, but...

          Domain name: example.com
          Keyword: 'Product Model 1234'

          In the case of a review, I'd set the post slug to 'product-model-1234' so the post url becomes

          hxxp://example.com/[category name]/product-model-1234.php or

          hxxp://example.com/[category name]/product-model-1234/

          The post title would be something like 'Product Model 1234 Review' and the meta description would be something like

          'I looked at the Product Model 1234 when I was looking for a new widget. While it wasn't perfect (see below), it had a lot fo good things going for it. Here's what I found out when I took a closer look at the Product Model 1234:'

          So the whole listing looks like:

          Product Model 1234 Review
          I looked at the Product Model 1234 when I was looking for a new widget. While it wasn't perfect (see below), it had a lot fo good things going for it. Here's what I found out when I took a closer look at the Product Model 1234:
          hxxp://example.com/[category name]/product-model-1234/
