Drop A good comment keyword is one short word in capitals that names what you are giving away, like GUIDE, TEMPLATE or CHECKLIST. Avoid common words people type anyway, like YES or INFO, and avoid anything over ten letters.
01Four rules
- One word. Two at most.
- It names the thing: TEMPLATE, not SECRET.
- Easy to spell on a phone.
- Not a word people type anyway, like YES, ME or THANKS.

FAQQuestions people ask
Should the keyword be in capitals?
Yes in the post, because it stands out. The tool should match any capitalisation.
Can I use an emoji as the keyword?
It works, but some people cannot find it on their keyboard. A word is safer.
Can I use the same word on different posts?
Yes, as long as each post has its own setup, so people get the right link.
