What are some good methods for creating titles? Adding words to a keyword seem to lose traffic.
This confuses me -- how to create specific titles yet not lose traffic. If I understand this correctly, HP wants us to use specific, rather than generic titles. Yet when I test titles for keyword recognition and potential traffic -- on Google trends, for example -- adding any words makes the title nearly worthless -- it appears. Even if I use a dash or colon to set off an added phrase to try to make the title more specific.
I've read articles on long-tail keywords and I've used the Wonder Wheel. Mystified.
So, is there something about this that I'm misunderstanding? Any tips? Thanks!
Yup, it doesnt count the whole title as a keyword.
If My keyword is Firefox Files these would be my titles:
Firefox Files - Learn how to organaize firefox files
Files : Firefox Files and how to Manage them!
Firefox Files : Filing never seemed so easy
All of them work. Try to keep the keyword as the first words in the title. Its not an automatic thing, just have them in the title its not worthless.
Search for on Google: adult anime figures
I should be #4 notice how the keywords are bolded and i dont even use that keyword phrase in order in my title.
Hope this helps,

PS: do not put adult anime figures in quotations.

I was just creating a hub about Grace Kelly, and as soon as I typed her name in the title area Hubpages popped up a title suggestion stating this is an "exclusive" title that should get good traffic. Has anyone had this happen? If so, did that hub get a lot of traffic?

I have been wondering if it matters where you put words in the title of a hub. As in will it effect where you appear in a Google search. For instance, yesterday I wrote an article on Lego Star Wars, which are my main keywords I suppose. So if I used the titleBuy Great Fun Lego...

For a long time it has puzzled me how one of my hubs keeps doing great, when it shouldn't. You see, I started a hub on one topic and then changed my mind in the middle of it.Now, back then I had no idea you couldn't change the URL later, so I was horrified when I was stuck with a URL that couldn't...

When you make titles do you consider drawing hits from Google, SEO, or just try to make it...interesting? I have tried both and it doesn't seem to make much difference.

The first occurred on 4/19. That hub's traffic has already started its crash and burn.The second occurred on 4/21. I'm reasonably certain the traffic crash and burn is starting there as well.I'll give it a week. If things aren't back to normal by then, I'm putting the keywords back. Better to have...

How do you make good Hub titles?I think I'm a little slow because I just don't entirely understand how Google Keywords works. I mean the program itself. My titles suck. How do you decide on your titles? I love to write, but must admit I'm motivated by earning on here...
