I think what the success of SEO will eventually focus not just on rankings, but the response of visitors to the site. Too many SEO people look at the title or the H1 tag as a place to incorporate keywords. This is probably necessary, but they should focus on whether people respond to the h1 tags and especially the title tags. Not just when they are on the site, but just as importantly when they come across the listing in the search results. Great post.

Good question. When you say that it's affected you client's "page rank" - are you referring to their conversions (that is, people may see a bad result on the search results page and not want to contact your client's company?) Glad the post helped - hopefully, you'll be dry-spell free and not have to reference it for awhile. :) Hi, Gabriella!

[it's bookmarked for my next dry spell:)] I have a question regarding bad press that has affected a clients page rank. Should they consider writing a rebuttal press release? What can they do other than what I would consider some effective steps? Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Great ideas and thanks sharing this article.

What works for me is stream of consciousness writing. I'll spend a set amount of time (say 15 minutes) writing whatever headlines come to mind. Some are good - some are horrible. :) No matter what, I won't let myself edit during that time...no matter how much I want to. Then, after I take a break, I'll come back and see what I've done. In most cases, one headline will stand out over the others. That's the headline I'll focus on, massage and edit. Sometimes the process will take me 20 minutes. Sometimes, two hours. The more I do it, the less time it (typically) takes me. Thanks for your post! Hiya, Marilyn!

Do you suggest stream of consciousness writing, developing a list of words, or some other method to take one of these ideas and expand it? Can you give an example? Thanks! Great list to spur ideas.
