WordPress has a handy feature that tells me how many views there are of my pages. So far, my first and third pages have each received fewer than 5 views (the blog is new, and I just made note of it to others for the first time last night). My second page, however, has already had 22 views.
My only theory is that the title “Centerpieces” was a much more attractive title. When I was planning my wedding, I punched words like “centerpiece”, “wedding dress”, “wedding cake” and other related terms into Google almost nightly.
Being married to a web developer, I am privy to lots of information (when I think to ask). I’ve been told that the title (in the blue bar at the top) is one of the most important places to put your key words. And then there’s putting the words in the text, meta tags (though their importance is debatable), descriptions, etc. WordPress seems to rely on a similar means to provide related pages to viewers on this site. So my “Centerpieces” page also directs viewers to these pages:
- Cheap Decorations and DIY ideas
- Mumbai suburban train commuters – worse off than rats
- tropical centerpiece
It just shows the significance of the little things. Who would have thought the title of a post could make that much difference? Not me!
