Good Blog Titles Or Names

by Kimi on June 8, 2010

In this video i want to give you tips what good blog titles or names are.

When you want to name a blog, you should decide which blog names you will use as a blog title or name before you launch a wordpress blog or a website, so that you won’t update your names or titles too often.


This i learnt from my mistake.

These are the steps:

1. Do not use a base keyword because most people use this keyword, and you will have high competitors.
Example of base keyword: Travel.

2. Focus on long tail keywords for your blog names or titles.
In Google keyword tool, and keywords.wordtracker.com to do some keyword researches with this “travel” long tail keywords, means two or three keyword phrases.
Example of long keywords tail:
Travel agent bookings
beaches travel agents
online travel agents
cruise travel agents
Canadian travel agents (depends on your location)

Picking long tail keywords will give us chance to get traffics and enable us to rank higher because of low competitions.

After you decide which keywords you think it has low competitors, if you have a webhost, choose a good domain name, and put the keyword in your domain name. It would be perfect if you find a short domain name with your keywords, but if you don’t,  put one of these keyword in your blog title.

If you haven’t have a webhost and domain name, you can install wordpress locally to learn wordpress, either with windows and mac.

Based on my experience, having a good blog title is helpful, but your blog post title is much more important, if you are using wordpress, here is a complete tip how to optimize your blog post title with All in SEO pack plugin.

Hey Dina,

I am always really guilty of not choosing the best titles for my blog posts.

I am always torn between using keywords or trying to grab attention.

I guess I shall just try to have both and get the best of both worlds.

Thanks for showing me how to find good keywords to target, Sally :)

I guess you did fine Sally, i also think about what possibly make people going to click my post, but i also can’t ignore keywords, so mix between the two will be just good.

Hey,
I’m currently making a blog in which I talk about everything, like fashion, books, TV, games, movies, food… anything you can think of! I write reviews, host discussions, and make regular posts about recent events and info.
The only problem is, I don’t know what to call it.
I want a name that is relevant to my blog, but that will also attract people to my blog and show up in a basic keyword search.
Any ideas? I would love to hear from you.

Sincerely,
Alisa.Xx

Hi Alisa,

There are many possibilities, you can use your name as a blog name, like, AlisaReview.com, or Alisareviewblog.com, something like that is also cool, and have a keyword in it, once you have a brand for your blog, people will find your blog easily, by typing “Alisa review” =)

Or if you do not want to put your name, you can follow the video and use google keyword tool..

I hope this helps :)
