Much of it is just repeated rubbish in the hope of selling you an ebook. Sure - some of it is good advice, but when you are learning it's extremely difficult to tell the good advice from the bad. :roll: Hehe – My pleasure Lee – part of the problem also – is the amount of regurgitated poor advice out there.

As a blogging naif but more experienced at making websites, I'd have to say that "sinking into my...brain" is just how I felt when I realized that blog titles and blog URLS were, well uh... just the same thing as when you publish a web page. You live, you learn. Great blog post, and thanks for making me feel less dumb. Exactly.

I've noticed that when I search for a specific phrase that the sites with that phrase in the title of their post is what's ranked highest in the engines. Now I try to make my posts from a searchers perspective to an extent - a title that not only is interesting to the repeat visitor but will be more likely to be a searched term.

I have to agree, that URLs are one of the most important aspects of blogging. I always make use of the post-slug feature of wordpress, so i can call my post what i like, yet i can have the URL of that post something more suitable to the search engines. For example, a recent post of mine is names 20 tips to increase blog readership - This is very attractive to people, yet not attractive to search engines. The URL for my post was increase-blog-readership - a keyword which is much more likely to be searched for via people, therefore very attractive to search engines. It has yielded great results for me both in terms of the amount of people looking at the article, and also the amount of referrals from the search engines to the post.
