What helps you to decide what the best title is for your hubs?
I am just curious what approach you may use to help you pick out a good hub title for SEO purposes? I know some use Google Keyword Planner. What are some other things you do? Also, do you try to repeat keywords in the body of your hub a certain number of times?
Thanks!
I like the keyword planner. There is another tool called ubersuggest that I use also for a lot of great derivatives and ideas for long tail keywords. It is also useful when creating subtitles.
I don't count for keyword density within the text - unless I feel I've been repeating a word too often. Google doesn't like this practice anymore and considers it "keyword stuffing", so it's best to avoid even the appearance of doing it. Once you have a good working title, let the article flow naturally and don't contrive the whole of the text too much. A few good subtitles to go with the title that clearly explain what the sections are about is great.
I also make hubs very visually appealing so that they are more widely shared on social media.
Thanks for the tips ChrstinS. I have never heard of ubersuggest. Just learned something new!
I think about a tile that will grab people's attention and then I type it into Google. If too many sites come up because it's similar to other pages, I change things around by using different keywords or phrases.

I have been on this platform for about two and a half years; however, unlike most of you here. I have not been doing my keyword research just right. Do you mind if we discuss how to do keyword research?

I was invited to be moved on new subdomain in response to my interest in the blog. I have no clue what will happen. Whatever, how are you people choosing your new name?

HiWhen I got started with Hubpages, I picked up on the general theme of having different accounts for different topics. Boy was that a bad idea!So, how can I merge my Hubpages accounts in to one master account?We are talking on the way to 300 pages so any help with this would be greatly...

I am wondering, when I create a backlink to my hubs, should I create a backlink to each of the hubs separately(i.e. username.hubpages.com/my-hub) , or would creating a backlink to the main page (username.hubpages.com) work just as well? Thank you

I now have 11 hubs that are not indexed by google - nothing published since July 12 (the last one was published on the 9th and indexed yesterday). Normally I've seen then set up with 24 hours, occasionally in 48, but now it's 8 days and not done!!??

Which hubs do you enjoy more - the longer or shorter ones? Or does it depend on the topic?Does the length of a hub affect whether you read it or not?
