The best thing about a blog post is that its title. A good title always attracts visitors faster. So it is very important to think before you ink and give out some crappy title to your blog post which sometimes maybe is irrelevant or not appealing. The best way to give a title is by making sure that at least one or few words from your blog post should also be present in the title.

So if you want your blog post to get attention faster in search queries, then giving a good title matters the most. If your keywords are good but not the title, the chances are that your blog post will appear in the search result but won’t get any visits due to bad title.

It’s always good to have better average time on site of a visitor. The more the visitor spends time on your site, the more chances that you can earn. Even sites like Yahoo.com struggles to increase the average time of their visitors.

Having a related posts plugin on your WordPress blog or any other blogging platform or CMS will make your visitors to discover more interesting things on your site. If you think this plugin just lists out the posts related to the post the visitor is reading, then you are wrong. It also tempts visitors to keep on looking one post after the other. So this increases the average time on site. And chances are, you might get more clicks on ads.

Here are some of the plugins/modules for CMS’es:

WordPress – WordPress Related Posts
Drupal – Similar Entries
Joomla – Related Posts for MyBlog

If you are getting started with blogging using WordPress, you can make your blog appear on radar of search results just in 2-3 weeks. But you will have to work a little which isn’t difficult either.

If not, I recommend you to upgrade it, because some plugins which I mention later in this tutorial may not compatible with your older version. And please register at Technorati.com before starting off (you will know why later). If you are already on those services, skip that step.
