It appears that as long as I mention any word + ‘analytics’ in my posts/post titles I should receive a decent amount of organic keyword traffic (sounds easy enough). Here’s a quote from Nathan Weinberg from the Inside Google Blog after he used HitTail’s suggestions:
HitTail looks at what keywords have been successful for you in the past and compiles a list of suggested keywords for future success. I tried it out on a few posts, not writing posts for HitTail, but rather specifically wording them to match the suggestion (good SEO, in my mind), and it worked out perfectly. I wound up with a weirdly worded title, but a new #1 search referral that is more than double my #2 (about 125% higher). You cant ask for better results than that.
