So let’s consider what the search engines are looking for in your page title and meta description . Because you’re in control of writing them, signal your readers why your page is directly applicable to their search. You have just a few words with which to wave your hand and persuade readers to click on your listing first.
Be sure to let your customers know what they can expect from your website. If your page is going to deliver a solution tell your reader the benefit.
The key is to make friends, check out their subject matter on a regular basis, vote for the things you like and offer things that you think will appeal to the different communities. Only once you become popular should you start to offer some of your own topic and even then it’s important to be careful, don’t add too many of your own stories with your usual submissions.
