Don’t forget to write a killer title too, it’s just as important as your {title} tag in HTML. Try and write a title that will get noticed.
For example, I’ve just finished an article on spam prevention, but rather than call it “Spam Prevention” I decided to call it “How To Stop Spam” as I felt this was a stronger and more simplistic title.
By writing titles this way your article is more likely to be found
by people searching for relevant articles to use, like bloggers and webmasters, and just as importantly by people searching the web for the same topic as your article.
So when coming up with titles project your mind into the mind of your target audience and try and match your title to what you think they would type into Google.
