How Google Analytics Can Reveal Keyword Title Ideas
Using Google Analytics, I decided to look at the top content on this site to get some post ideas. I’ve done this before looking at my Feedburner statistics, and what tags are popular on this site. This method is a little unique though. I wasn’t targeting ideas, I was targeting what keywords within the titles were sparking user interest.
So here is what I did. First, going to Google Analytics I use the left menu, and select Content ->Content by Title. I then set it up to reveal the top 25 posts for the past year. Using the Export function found on top of the graph, I export the titles to an excel file. Then I open up Addme’s word count tool, and paste those titles into it. Hit Addme’s count button, and your top post titles starts revealing their keywords.
The results still need a little help though. At that point, write down the top ten. Then I repeat the function, but just highlighting the posts for the past month. I generate my next top ten list based on that data, and all I have to do is match keywords between the two lists.
The words how and Google were two matching ones for me. Notice the title of this post? Your, was another top keyword used in my titles. The question for new posts that I write now? What came first, the title or the content? Hopefully, it’s a little of both.

Though I’ve good experience in coding this Google concept was unclear for me to accept; how they can fix keyword, title etc., From your post I came to know Google Analytics play a major role in these kind of stuffs. Thanks for posting them.
I think the words you used for an example would probably describe it best.. You might also want to add that it bares the midsection.
that’s a nice tip! thanks for sharing!
this is a nice gem, never knew this
Thanks!
why use this when you can use the webmaster tools ‘search query’ option ?
I guess tis is old school now, Google does have so many great features on the GWM tool that can aid in improving your keyword title ideas.
Thanks
