When writing blog post titles, forget about SEO

"Search engine rankings are influenced mostly by (social media) backlinks."<p>Hilarious.<p>Also - cramming a keyword you want into a title tag that doesn't fit the content is shitty SEO. There's a difference between that, and doing it well.

I'm sorry but you have a few details wrong in this post.<p>If you're concerned about referencing keywords, you could do it in body copy as opposed to the post title.<p>Also, rankings are largely influenced by the number of sites linking to a post, alongside on-page keyword references, well-built sites and user experience. Social signals are just a catalyst - not a direct factor.

&#62;&#62; <i>it's every blogger's dream his / her work will once be self-sustainable. Traffic without active (social media) involvement. I do the writing, Google does its magic, the readers to the rest.</i><p>Weird writing/typos aside, I find this concept confusing. What does it mean for writing to be self-sustainable?

&#62;&#62; <i>" But I've chosen the wrong title for it, since the core of every UX analysis are the problems and goals each solution is trying to solve and achieve. By thinking about SEO, I've devalued the content of the story by presenting it as something it is not."</i><p>So the OP is not saying ditch SEO in favor of verbosity/cleverly-punny-vague titles, he's saying, don't write blog titles full of bullshit buzzwords.<p>Thanks for the insight.
