And I'm guessing those that look up "manifest file in .net" and "exe manifest file" are not looking for fantastical antagonists. It's good that Google only returns your results for "manifestation files," though. At least, once people have already heard of your book, your book won't be buried among dozens of websites with the same keyword. :) I noticed “manifestation files” didn’t have many monthly searches, but “manifest file in .net” had 590 monthly searches, and “exe manifest file” also had 590 monthly searches.

"Files" is only there to put a good ring to it. 2) I'm sure the word "files" is searched often. 3) Google only returns my results for "manifestation files". Hmm…Manifestation Files.

1) Manifestations are the fantasical antagonists of the book. “Files” is only there to put a good ring to it.

2) I’m sure the word “files” is searched often.

3) Google only returns my results for “manifestation files”.

I have little trouble writing my characters with this in mind - instinctively, but then I read back through it and realise I'd taken the knowledge in my mind and left it off the page entirely. Then I had to add to the outline considerably, for those who don't actually live in the mind that actually created the characters. :) Its easy to forget that bit. X Great read.

When I wrote this post I didn't intend to sadden already published indie authors. A solution that comes to mind, for all of you out there that feels like they messed up their title and feel they should fix it, is to find the key word or phrase that has the most hits and least competition, then add a subtitle to your title. No need to change the cover. Your title can be something like "The Kinir Elite; the elf wars" or "Saleminn, customs of witches (a tale of horror)." On Barnes & Noble (I believe), my book is listed as "The Torah Codes; a heart pounding thriller with appendix essays by Jefferey Satinover,..." (and five other names are listed). Having all those names also helps with the search engine, but damn, that's a long title! I hope this helps! Hi, Shah. When I wrote this post I didn’t intend to sadden already published indie authors.

I've planned a book series and all the titles went together and now, it seems I may need to change them after I did a search and nothing came up. Not one! And having to make a website too - i already have three blogs :( Darn it! And does that mean you need a separate we site for every book? Seems extreme. I'm going to have to think long and herd on this. :( Thanks for the insight. You’ve made me wonder whether ti change my titles now.
