Put the strongest keywords in the beginning of the title. Google cares most about the first 3 words in the title.
- Instead of this: “Ten Awesome Gifts for Men”
- Do this: “Gifts for Men: Ten Awesome Ideas”

Thanks, Pam! Just rewrote a blog title because of this tip!
Awesome!
Great tip. Most of my blog post titles are similar to your first sentence. Now I know how to make them better.
Great, I’m glad this was helpful to you.
Excellent tip! I think search engines allow a maximum of 160 characters for the description, so it makes sense to use your best keywords first.
Glad you liked the tip, Tom. 🙂
Nice posting.
