Stories of Fascinating People in Your Own Backyard

Posted: 19 Sep 2011 06:36 PM PDT

Tune in tomorrow morning, September 20, 2011 at 10:00am EST for "Write Here, Write Now" on Atlanta Business Radio X! This week's segment is hosted by Vanessa Lowry.

"Write Here, Write Now" seeks to help business people, entrepreneurs, and professionals gain a unique perspective for their work or through their work. Since writers have this different perspective on their surroundings (more than most people), they see the "unique" perspectives that are generally seen as commonplace.

This week, our show features writers who have found that unique perspective. Ellen Lyle Taber and Neil Wilkinson have solid roots and Georgia and have had books published by Kennesaw State University Press. Taber's books provide glimpses into the life on Tybee Island. Wilkinson tells of fascinating lives of twins, Ruth and Ruby Crawford; these pioneering sisters become lawyers in Atlanta during an era when there were few women in the profession.  

Jim Ellege, author and director of the Master of Arts in Professional Writing Program (MAPW) at Kennesaw State University, joins the panel to talk about the upcoming KSU event being held in conjunction with the Georgia Writers Association- Publishers, Agents, and Media Institute on October 1st.

Writing better titles & meta descriptions

Posted: 17 Sep 2011 06:44 PM PDT

Don’t over-optimise titles for SEO

The title tag is one of the most valuable pieces of real estate when it comes to the world of SEO – if you can get your keywords into your title tag, you are more likely to rank well, providing everything else in your SEO campaign is on track.

But is it the best approach? If you look ad Adwords ad copy, it’s written as a sales pitch. Just 95 characters to make an impression on a target audience. Title tags have 70 characters alone and meta descriptions have a further 160 characters, yet they are often overlooked from a SEO and promotion perspective.

Get your title tags and meta descriptions to read better, throughout your site and the likelihood is you will increase on click through rates to your website. If you can manage to secure more visits, then you can secure more customers.

SEO experts might suggest that the copywriting guys are wrong for saying this – at least with title tags. They want to maximise that space for keywords, which is a fair argument. Meta descriptions have no impact on SEO however, so writing these as a sales pitch is a wise move if you want to increase the traffic to your website from Google search results.
