I'm no longer thrilled with the title of one of my hubs. It just doesn't roll off of the tongue. I'm having a terrible time deciding on a new, more accurate title. The original title is "How to get a handle on your hoarding." Below are some new titles I was throwing around:
1. How to organize a hoard
2. How to tackle your hoarded home
3. How to clean as a hoarder
4. (#) tips for a hoarder's home
5. Organizational tips for hoarders
6. First steps to take as a hoarder
7. Reclaim your hoarder's home
8. How to reclaim your home from hoarding
Which do you think would suit the article better? Or is there another title that may fit?
Article link: https://dengarden.com/cleaning/How-To-G … r-Hoarding
I would simply type into the Google search engine - hoarding how - and look at the auto suggest. Then pick one of the suggestions. Those are actual queries by people and what they'll likely use to search the Web: Therefore, more likely to create traffic to your article.
I'm sure you'll get loads of suggestions but try this:
https://answerthepublic.com
You'll have to register but it's free. Then just type in your keyword, 'hoarding', and wait a moment. Then scroll down. Loads of phrases that people are using to find answers on the topic. It's a great way to find titles.
The way to pick a good title is to ask yourself, "what would people type into Google?"
The site theraggededge linked to is a good source for that, but also try typing some of those possibilities into Google and see what auto-completes.
The keyword in that title is "hoarding" and the article has been accepted for dengarden, so I would be careful about messing around with it too much.
I personally like "How to reclaim your home from hoarding". Making it a "How to" might not be a bad idea. But that's just a feeling.
I tend to use Ubersuggest - neilpatel.com/ubersuggest for keyword research. I just looked up "Hoarding" and it seems like a popular keyword but very competitive.
Remember too that although the title is very important, subtitles can be a good way to bring in extra traffic if targeted at specific keyphrases, such as common questions or searches.
Good luck!

Can anyone help me figure out how to best optimize my hubs? I have several that have scores of 90 and above but they hardly get any views...I'm not sure how I could improve that. Even ones that have been changed by Hubpages' editors still don't get much traffic. Is it just the titles that I should...

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.

What are my options if a moved article no longer ranks for its title?I've tried changing the title several times, but to no avail. The site diversity thing occurred unfortunately just after the move.

The help instructions for the Beta Title Tuner says that you can click on any hub to change the title to improve traffic.BUT, when I click Beta Title Tuner, only one of my hubs populates. I have another hub, that I would love to use this tool for.

I hope somebody can help. I now have 49 hubs, and yet not one of them are seen by the search engines. When I click on their stats, it says under 'search phrases,' no search terms to add.(list of words that appear commonly in searches that bring visitors to your hub.)It seems that all my hubs need...
