Blog taglines are important. I have read this and learned this over and over. But I was reminded also by a post by Darren to maybe rethink my own. I know he recently upgraded his from “ProBlogger” to “Blog Tips - ProBlogger”

Now taglines are important for many reasons. They tell readers what to expect, and they are highly looked at and considered in the whole SEO process. I also realized, upon Darren’s change, that it could also mean how soon you are read by your readers.

Ok, imagine this. Most people don’t organize their feeds into folders. They just drop them all into their Bloglines or NewsGator. So, when reading, most people go top to bottom. It’s the way we read. So, when Darren went from being at the “P” section to the “B” section, he was more likely to be read first.

What could being read first mean? Well, it could mean that you get readers before they are tired. More likely to comment. To reblog. And simply more likely to read and not just clear away.

So, maybe the first letter in your blog name should be important as well. I guess “Blogging Help…” is not doing so bad there.

Anyway, I thought I’d open up to discussion our own blog tag:

“blogging help - blog consulting by professional bloggers Arieanna & Ianiv”

I recently put that new tagline up there. I wanted the keyphrase of ‘blog consulting’ to be in there, as well as our names. Our names were coming up in our search logs, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt. As well, I wanted to use the term ‘professional blogger’ - this is where I came to a stumble. We are a plural group here: bloggerS. So, I chose to be grammatically correct rather than just putting in the keyphrase. Was this a good idea? Opinions?
