How to name a blogNaming your blog is easy, but can be difficult if your wanting it to be found.  Why is this? Well one common problem bloggers have while they are writing their blog is that they assume the potential visitor has already found their blog article, so they wright all about the blog, but they don’t explain the blog using keywords that the potential visitor would type in to find the blog in the search engines.

Keyword Research

If you are having problems trying to determine which keywords you should use, you can use several free tools like Goggles Suggest and Overtures Keyword Inventory or use a commercial program like Trellian’s Keyword Discovery (www.keyworddiscovery.com) which is priced reasonable. These tools can help you pick keywords for your blogs that are gems instead of playing the guessing game.

Blogs are a strong tool for social media and company’s trying to promote new products, special offerings, success stories and more if they are updated frequently and named correctly. This is why it is so important on learning How to Name Your Blog.

If you’re wanting people to find your blog and you’re blogging about a specific topic – say, tattoos – then make sure you put the word “tattoo” in the name of your blog. This may seem obvious but sometimes we forgot.

If you used a name like “Betty Sue’s Art for the Skin,” you have a blog name that is interesting but people wouldn’t find you if they were searching for blogs on tattoos. So give your blog name some thought, especially if you’re wanting your blog to bring you more business opportunities. Think like someone searching for what you’re offering, not someone who’s already found you.

So check out Elliott’s article – you might get some ideas.
