A problem people find is writing good and optimized title and meta description. IMHO you should start planning your title and meta description before even writing your article.

That way you can find good keywords and search phrases to put in the title, description, h1, first paragraph (as well as other places on the page).

When it comes to finding those keywords and search phrases I’ve made an online SEO tool for just that. It can be used by everyone (my nick is the link to it).

The tool is pretty easy to use. Write what you want to rank for, which country you want to rank in, get the keywords and search phrases and start making your optimized title as well as desription. Also be sure to remember variations of search phrases and keywords suggested, as those should also go in other elements (like I said earlier) on your page.

Please don’t consider this comment spam. My SEO tool is actually very useful, and I’d love any feedback on it. (My email is valid).

The optimization tool is still in beta though, so there will be even more features to it as time goes by

When I changed the directory layout of the site I was meant to re add the SEO Tutorial part, but apparently forgot

Now the reason I forgot is the CMS that creates this site uses the title of an article for the file name. So had I added the SEO Tutorial part in the 1st place (when I made the directory structure change) the URL would have been-

seo-gold.com/seo-tutorial/seo-tutorial-title-optimization/

Which gives seo-tutorial twice!

So what I was meant to do (the bit I forgot) was create the page with the title “Title Optimization” which creates the URL-

seo-gold.com/seo-tutorial/title-optimization/

And the add in the “SEO Tutorial” part afterwards which because of how the CMS works will not then change the URL.

In my defence I manage over 100 sites with millions of pages, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it

Fixed now, so thanks for noticing.

“Quick SEO Tip – note above how rather than writing “The former tells a potential visitor this page is part of a Tutorial, the latter does not.” we added the important keywords “SEO Tutorial – Title Optimization”, “SEO” and “Title Optimization”. Being long winded is a prerequisite to good SEO copywriting!”

What’s interesting is that the actual title of the page is, in fact “Title Optimization” and not “SEO Tutorial – Title Optimization.”

Faux pas, or did something change?
