It’s been a few days since my trial of WordTracker. I’ve been trying to get a handle on how to use the system. I’ve only been able to watch 1 video tutorial that they’ve sent me as a part of my trial.

What I’ve learned is that keywords and its uses is a broad subject. It almost like having a discussion on sex. Sex can fall into many catagories. The use of keywords is no different. My intention at this point is to investigate the various uses of keywords as I explore my trial of WordTracker.

Title Tags

Using keywords withing the title tags is a search engine optimization technique. In WordPress, I wasn’t able to find the title tag in any of the php files. The title tags are automatically written in WordPress from the options tab. Once you click on Options, it is the first line “Blog Title”. <title> </title> will automatically be created.

I used WordTracker to find out what were some of the popular searches for blogs. Blogger Tips, Blogger Tips and Tricks came up. As you can see, I changed my title to reflect the keywords I found.
