HitTail Rocks!
I read a blurb about HitTail, which analyzes your search engine referrals and suggests keywords you should target, and decided to give it a shot. I am now a believer!
HitTail looks at what keywords have been successful for you in the past and compiles a list of suggested keywords for future success. I tried it out on a few posts, not writing posts for HitTail, but rather specifically wording them to match the suggestion (good SEO, in my mind), and it worked out perfectly. I wound up with a weirdly worded title, but a new #1 search referral that is more than double my #2 (about 125% higher). You can’t ask for better results than that.
Trying this out now, thanks for the recommendation. I love the live search aspect also, it gives me a couple things I was lacking in Google Analytics.

I’m definitely a believer too. I can’t remember where I first read about it, and I was really skeptical at first. I decided to give it a whirl and wow, it’s really good!
Glad to see your post about it.

Hi true believers. I feel like I should talk in Stan Lee’s voice. Anyway, we’re always here and ready to answer questions. Thanks much for the mention.
