Hi guys,

I'm sure everyone knows that ranking for questions is a great way to be found and get targeted prospects. I just wanted to share a tip I just heard about - I haven't tried this yet but it apparently works like gangbusters and is simple to do.

Here it is:

Anytime you want to rank for a question - make sure that you add a question mark to the phrase and when you put it in your page title.

That's it.

I've heard that having the question mark can often make the difference and push you over others who have optimized for the same keyword without the question mark. It's worth a test - let me know how it works for you.

On a side note...

Think of just about any keyword that is prefixed with "how to".  You can also throw "where to" and "when to" "why you should" content for the same keywords and get a totally different segment.

Great idea, Mike.  I've never tried the question for a title.

I used to sit around for hours doing keyword research for "how to" related phrases just looking for ideas. Some of those questions out there are gold minds if you find and rank for the right ones.

Having trouble with your marketing? Wish you could have an experienced direct-to-fan marketing expert look over your actual campaigns, music, or content and offer feedback? Or perhaps you’re just looking for a little one-on-one assistance so you can ask questions that pertain to your specific goals and get a second, more experienced, perspective?

Ooooooohhh.....thanks guys! I'll look into this one...but not today! I'm taking the day off with my wife and son! Back at it later tomorrow. Have a good holiday, and thanks to all of you in this forum!

What would a jam session with Gordon Lightfoot, Collective Soul, and Damien Rice sound like?

Check out Greg Parke and you’ll have a pretty good idea!
