My article pages are more to attract people who are curious about quilt history so I don’t have to directly address my product which is primarily quilt history books. In other words they come for the content then get interested in buying books. So my phrases in my titles need to be focused on what the searcher wants to learn rather than the product.

I know that most of the titles to my articles do not make good page titles. For example I have another article titled, “When Rugs Weren't for Floors” while I titled the page “Colonial American bedrugs, blankets and coverlets”. Is that on the right track?

I’ve also been trying to get the most important key words in so the article titled, “Broderie Perse: The Art of Chintz Appliqué” has the page title of “broderie perse quilts, chintz appliqué quilting, quilt history”. There is an example of how I’ve tried to get quilts, quilt and quilting in as they all seem to be used interchangeably as keywords by searchers.

If I can get this title thing sorted out in my mind I plan to go through my sites and improve all the titles.

Thanks again.
