Yes. Say it like it is: *Buy My Crap*. I’d buy your crap, Jeanne.

It’s like a homeless person’s sign I saw in Seattle: *I just want Booze*.

Oh. And this just in, related to really nothing: if you like zombies a whole lot and you like yoga too, why not combine them?

Wellll, that wasn’t actually my point, but thank you. And yes, there should be a balance.

I really do think the most powerful way to get traffic from search engines is to use boring but search engine loaded keywordy titles. This is what I taught my writers as a Section Editor for Suite101.

If someone is seeking traffic, as opposed to Stumbles, Diggs or retweets, then it’s safer and smarter to play the keyword route. Your title is THE most important thing search engines value.

But if you have a following, or you don’t care about the traffic (ie - a personal blog is intended to be entertaining/about personality in most cases), or most of your clicks come from social media…well then. In that case you can do what you please to attract like-minded ladies and gents, right?

I think you're onto something here: titles should be for people. The content can be for search engines. Best if you can strike a balance between the two. polyGeeks last blog post..Subtle mistake I made with Data Binding
