HitTail: Improve Your Search Engine Traffic
Tuesday, January 22, 2008
HitTail works on the concept of LongTail. LongTail is a term often used in statistics. The idea of longtail suggests that the total hits from your less popular keywords are more than the total hits from your top keywords. For example, my blog has other potential keywords than my top keywords like Blogger Widgets, BlogSpot Widgets, Widgets for Blogger or Blogger Hacks. If you can do something to improve the search engine ranking of those less popular keywords, then you can exploit the power of search engines.
How does it work?
HitTail collects information about the search phrases used by your visitors. HitTail zooms right in on that data, showing you every search hit that has led to your site and then filters out the keywords. HitTail then extracts out underperforming terms as suggestions, so you can create new discussions with emphasis on these keywords. You may or may not choose to write on the suggested topic. The more you take action by writing about these potential topics, the more hits you get.
Outcome of using HitTail
The objective is to increase the ranking of your blog on search engines and subsequently get more organic traffic. HitTail identifies the exact terms to perk up your blog’s search engine rankings. These keywords are selected for their capacity to perform the most in the search engine rankings. When you start writing about these keywords, they add to the overall size and keyword diversity of your website.
The other advantage of using HitTail is that it serves as a list of topics for you to write. So,whenever you feel like there is nothing in the world to write about, look at the HitTail's suggestions. Then you will be able to write something that will bring you more organic traffic.

I'm using Google Analytic for this
Hi,
Thanks for your comments. HitTail is not similar to Google Analytics. I too use Google Analytics, but it is more of a statistics tool. HitTail is a keyword suggestion tool. HitTail suggests what to write from your searches, which you cannot perform with Google Analytics.
I hope this works.
Give it a try. It certainly works. Thanks.
Unfortunately its not free, you must pay traffic
Any chance of getting it free?
Hi Takumi86,
HitTail is free for smaller blogs. But, it does not generate traffic automatically. It helps to improve your search engine ranking by suggesting good topics to write. If you follow their suggestions to write content, then in the longer run you will get traffic run from search engines.
thanks for the info - I went there and signed up but when the code page came up, instead of copying it, etc, I had doubts and went elsewhere on their site. now I can't seem to get to the code page again. How do I get the code again ?
Their site only mentions free trial - that's what caused my doubts for installing the code. . . .
Hi Tackad,
You login to HitTail. On the top right corner, you will see a link called "My Account". Click this. Scroll down the page and you will see a section called "My Sites". If you have already added your blog, you will see it listed here. Click on the "View" link below the details. This will open up the tracking code for your blog.
Regarding the free trial, I am not sure. It seems that HitTail has stopped its free service and only the trial is for 60 days. Anyway, you need to confirm this with the HitTail team. Thanks.
i have given your link back
Hi Sujan,
Thanks.
Just found this article and had never heard of HitTail which is not free anymore but has a 60 day trial for one domain.
