Yes – putting the name or the best keywords all help tremendously on getting traffic back to the post. Did you see my post on the difference in clicks on Tweets when we put keywords in?

I mentioned in my previous post that Scott walks his talk and responds to comments. I posted on my blog about his use of questions to overcome skepticism. He commented on my post with a thank-you and went on to say,

"I’ve used this series of Qs all over the world and the answers are similar no matter where I ask. Here is a short video I did that shows that:

It is even more remarkable to ask these Qs in a boardroom full of skeptics. It works!!"

My post and his comment on it are at: http://www.speakstrong.com/newsletter/2009/12/1...

I find that if I put the name of the person I'm quoting in my blog title, they are more likely to comment on the post.

I first heard his name through you – and now I see it everywhere. He's so frank and open – and says it like he sees it. Nice.

He is sooooo great. So real, informed and practical. Earning attention rather than buying it or forcing it.

Why aren't we using it? He said he himself was fired for his creative approach. New Rules means unlearning. We're all having to do a lot of that these days.

He walks his talk. He responds to my posts on his blog and my links to him on my www.speakstrong.com blog.
