Hittail Results

A while back have received an e-mail, as many other Hittail users, from Mike Levin to update to the premium (paid) account, which comes at only $4.95 a month. I feel almost guilty not to join the paid version, because this service helped me so much. But the least I can do is to give Hittail another shout out.

You still can join the Hittail for free, this will allow you to track 100,000 visitors a month. And if you have not try this service yet, I urge you to give it a shot. You simply have nothing to loose. I personally will consider to join the paid service anyway because with the paid version you are able to generate both Google and Yahoo sitemaps for your websites.

Here are some numbers for you to consider. At the time I started to use Hittail the average number of daily visitors to my blog was about 10. I have been getting about 70-100 visitors a day to this blog for last 4 weeks. Hittial and it’s suggestions are responsible for at least 80% of that traffic. The service is simple, you do not need to be a rocket scientist to use it, the suggestions are simple and the results are beyond anything I have expected. While this blog is not benfiting from the service as much as it could, on some other sites I am experiencing a 500% increase of search traffic.

  1. What do you do with the HitTail suggestions? Do you tweak an existing page or create a new one focused on the suggested terms? Do you have an actual example that you don't mind sharing?

  2. Hey Marios,
    I do not mind sharing at all. This post is a perfect example. “Hittail Results” was among the suggestions, so as you can see I used it for the title of thi page. I have not done anything special with this suggestion besides this article. Fortunately I have been seeing good Google juice flow on thi blog. I would also try to use this term in anchor text from other websites (GoArticles or EzineArticles are good place to start). I hope this helps.

    I see you are also using WordPress and if you blog freequently optimize your articles aroun Hittail suggestions. Depending on ho long you have been using Hittail you may have goog amount of terms by now. If not you will. I have been using Hittial for about three months now and my tail has bout 700 terms.

    If you have just started to use Hittail, let it go its job for next few weeks to collect more terms. So you will have a wider range of terms to choose from.

    Hope this helps.

  4. Thanks for the additional information. I have HitTail running and it's been gathering data for about a week. What I'm trying to figure out is what distinguishes a long tail term (which I can get from my analytics package) from a suggested term (which is where HitTail's value supposedly lies). Do suggested terms have more potential in terms of traffic? Are they less competitive and therefore easy to rank for? The online descriptions of the service don't seem to say much and prefer to wave away such details as being part of a complex algorithm.

  5. I think there is plenty of confusion out there what “long tail” really stands for….lol. I think the Hittail is going to redefine the term all together.

    With the time you will see that Hittail will show you top 10 keywords (that were used more than the rest to find your site). Even in my case with 700 I have only top ten in “pinkish” :). The rest belong to long tail. In my case these top 10 are responsible only for 8% of all search traffic. I think Hittail is a brilliant analytical tool, and is fitted perfectly for bloggers.

  9. 1. You put the new suggestions into the title tag (or headline field) of a new blog post. Make it a sensible headline that fits within the context of your site. It's more effective to add new content in a blogging system than to tweak old content. That's because it's naturally well optimized for search, and the submit will cause a news “ping” to notify Weblogs and blo.gs services that new content exists on the web. This starts the process of your content ultimately winding up in Google default search.

    3. You got most of that right. The suggestions have more potential than all other keywords. Technically, the reason this is, is because they're teetering on the edge of performing better for you. Our algorithms know this, but in great part, it's derived from “how many pages in” the search results they dug to find you.

    That's KEEN competitive intelligence that most others leave on the table.

    And there's more making it work well, such as our “keywords forever” feature, but that's too much to explain here. In fact, it always sounds confusing to explain it. There's a lot of trust involved, and we love Vlad the Affiliate, because he took that leap of faith and has been very generous sharing his experiences and results with the world.

    Thanks Vlad!

  18. Hittail is good as long as you know what you are doing. You need to analyze which post gets hits from which long tail keyword and change the post content accordingly…

    I think that Hittail is perfect for bloggers, who can take a Hittail suggestion and create an article around the term. This article is a perfect example. If you search Google for “Hittail Results” you will see that my site is on the first page, if not in the first position for the term.
