... I did want to start sharing tips that I’ve personally found valuable when building the traffic to Marketing Pilgrim.It’s possible that these tips have been shared before–perhaps they were lost among all of the “great content” on the web–but I’m pretty sure these will be fresh ideas.

The best tip here is to optimize post titles after they've had some time to float around in Google. I've been going back and changing titles on some old posts to very good effect. Good stuff, thanks!
Good post but the 'professional' blog advice sites have talked about this topic before so it's hardly new. This comes from someone who's one of the many blog marketing authors out there. :)
As I've suggested here, if you use the WordPress All-In-One-SEOpack plugin, you can create a different Title and Headline for the post at the time you first create the post. You can of course continue to 'tweak' the Title thereafter, but it often isn't necessary if you do things right from the start.
True enough bwelford, I use that plugin myself and I find it invaluable. But sometimes I notice that a post is getting found for a term I wasn't expecting, and adjusting the title to include it can work wonders!
