My latest hub is on photo collage and photomontage but I have really struggled to come up with a title that will do the hub justice and keep the traffic coming in. Fine tuner has not picked anything up (yet). I would love any critique or advice I can get regarding this hub (especially the title). My title does reflect my keywords so I have to be careful not to change that.
Please take a peak at-http://hubpages.com/hub/Photo-Collage-Photomontage-Tips-Advice
Maybe this is a stupid question but I really would appreciate a little input. Thanks Jaime
This is one of the neatest hubs I've seen - I'm having a hard time getting past the photos and thoughts to actually consider your "problem".
I don't find your title that bad at all, but:
Using photo editing to produce a photo montage (photomontage) and photo collages.
The basics of photomontage (photo montage) and collage by photo editing.
Do you use the keyword tool? photo montage produces considerably more searches than photomontage, and photo collage is over 10 times the searches of photocollage. Collage by itself is even more.
You might consider a deliberate misspelling in the title or summary, or perhaps put one in brackets as I did). I'm afraid I'm not knowledgable enough of the subject to offer any synonyms or other terms.
All of these terms, however, are high competition; it will be difficult to rank on the search engines.
Wilderness-thankyou so much for your input and for the compliments regarding my hub. I agree that I might need to go back into google adwords and look at my keywords again. Do you use any other keyword search sites?
What is deemed as High Competition would be another question I would have to ask.
Once again thankyou for your response; now the work begins
The google keyword tool is all I use, although I have considered Market Samurai.
"High" competition is pretty subjective with lots of different opinions. Personally I don't like to see more than a few hundred thousand results when searching for my keywords - others will say it doesn't matter as you only need to beat out some of the top ten in any case.
Searching for your keywords produces several million results - I think you will have a tough time getting to the first page or even the first few pages.
Thankyou this puts a little more clarity on what I am looking for when reviewing my keywords

Hey I published a hub about a week ago and it got a lot of traffic from hubpages but almost nothing from google and other search engines. I really do think my latest hub has much more potential. Could someone help me in figuring out what titles and keywords to use? Any other advice would be very...

Do you try to base your hub's titles around keywords, or leave those to the intro?

I didn't really think that it was appropriate to create a video for this, but I did want to bring up something that's as important as anything else when it comes to writing a Hub (well, besides writing great content, of course) -- coming up with a great title. Out of all the things that can truly...

If I rank low in SERPs when I search for a string of words, can I copy or use a similar title that ranks near the top of results?
by Dr. John Anderson 14 years ago
I thought that the order of keywords in a Title did not matter and likewise that the order of keywords entered for a Google Search did not matter. However when you do a search for - Green Tea Health Benefits (A) - and for - Health Benefits of Green Tea (B) - both without quotes the results are...

My 10 year old lawn mower repair guide that once shared a snippet with B&S was demoted by Google this summer because of a new guide on repairing mower handles on Dengarden. The author used the same first five keywords that I had in my title. I changed one of the keywords in my title from...
