Webitz - Checking out the Web from an amateur's point of view

Webitz - March 2007

HitTail

March 16th 2007 08:06
I don't think I've mentioned HitTail on this site.
At first I wasn't much impressed with this means of checking out words that showed up as seach key words, because for the first few days nothing seemed to be happening. And then gradually there were some real results.
HitTail works on the 20/80 theory where that everyone is chasing the 20 percent of top keywords. It's the old marketing approach that has a lot of uses.
However, the HitTail people think that the 80% include a vast number of key words that are worth turning to value. If people are picking up your site in search engines by putting these words in, then for you it's worth including them more often in your blog's posts. I've been playing around with it a bit of late on my other blog, and even picked up a comment from
Mike Levin
the 'inventor' of HitTail as an concept. These people obviously keep their eye on their product.
I think for people like myself who are small fish in a very big blogging world, this is another quite useful method of making you shine just a little bit more.
In my next post, I'll work briefly through some of the rather random key words that have brought my blog up before searchers.

Mike Levin is the man in the photo: he's the person who came up with the HitTail idea.
