WordPress Plugin - Optimal Title
I went ahead and installed another WordPress plugin after learning about it from Ed Lau. This one is called Optimal title. What it does is it takes the title of the post, and puts it before the title of the site. So a post called ‘Fishing Tips’ would have the title ‘Fishing Tips - Foximus’ instead of ‘Foximus - Fishing Tips’. It may not seem like much, but it is supposed to have a good effect on how the search engines rank your posts, and it will make it easier for people to know what your post is about.
This plugin is very easy to install. Go over here and download it, unzip it and then upload it to your plugins directory. Then login to your admin panel and turn it on.
Next you will need to add some code into your template, there are a few ways to do it, you will find all the instructions on the page you download the plugin from.
I have no idea if this will actually make a difference in the traffic from search engines, but I will let you know if it does. Or if you have already been running this plugin for awhile, let me know if it has made any difference to your blog.

I have read that it’s always good to put the keyword first rather then the name of the site so I think this is a great idea. Keep em coming!
