I do this all the time. Page titles are probably the most important factor
which is easy to choose carefully without massaging any text. Example:
"Review of Search Engines" (too broad and competitive for small sites)
versus "Comparison and Analysis of Search Engines". It's a bit like
gambling at times as its hard to predict the outcome. Some pages will
receive a huge number of referrals and some will get 0.
One needs to think what _reasonable_ (e.g. not "sdlaaskfbvsd" or "sandwich
greenland") SERP's the title will most likely correspond to and whether or
not the site can make it to page 1, given its status.
I guess that articles must stand out from a larger pool if they ever want
to be accessed by searches. It's different from them days when people just
received/purchased the favourite daily and whetever title fit best did its
job. People take an overview on thousands of news sources in tandem.
Just my humble opinion...
Roy
