Be sure to use the keywords that matter in the title of the post. Yes, cute titles can be eye-catching and thought provocative, but titles that state what the article is about, with consideration to the relevant keywords will help search engines, line google, understand the information you wish to convey.
Highlight your central thoughts using these length and formatting tips:
