I actually sat on a draft of a post overnight the other day, cause I couldn’t come up with a title that was good enough. Look what you are doing to me!

Like the newspapers……use capital letters in your blog post title to stop driving the reader crazy

I spent months researching my article on Effective Post Titles and you are right. There are too many articles out there that don’t say much about how to effectively write post titles. And yet it is so very, very important.

What I learned most is that your post title must do two things:

1. Describe the content within your post.
2. Use search terms people will use to search for the content within your post.

Thanks for the tips and links Terry… I’ve been checking links like that, and the ones referenced in the comments on your last post out over the last couple of days and have been trying to apply them to my own blog. I think I’m doing better… but you’re definitely right. I have 68 blogs in my Google Reader, and if the headline doesn’t grab me, I go right by it.
