How Important Is Your Blog Title?

This is something i learned in my early days on the internet, most of you already know how important your title or heading is to attract readers. Browsing through the Blogs here, i can see that many people understand this fact and they come up with excellent attention grabbing titles.

In most instances, it is likely that your Blog will get read as a result of your title.

If the title of an Blog is not catchy enough to catch a readers interest, you might as well not have written that post. This is because the title of your Blog will determine whether the article gets read or not by as many people as possible. One of the reasons many Blogs don't get read is because the titles and headlines do not catch your potential readers attention. Your Blog title should as much as possible, grab your readers attention and get them thinking, wanting to know more.

As a Blogger, one thing you really want to happen to your Blog post is for it to go viral and get picked by many people who want to see what you have to say. If you are looking for the principal key to making this work, your Blog titles are what you need to work on. In essence, this is a determining factor in the pulling in of readers and increasing the number of people who view your Blog post and must not be neglected. In fact, it should be given the utmost attention.

Luckily there are ways this can be remedied as writing titles, headlines can be easy when you know what psychological triggers to use. Some examples are the words "get rid, secrets, revealed, the truth behind, how to, reason, tips, discover, red hot etc." These trigger words have the ability to trigger some questions in the minds of readers. For example, headlines like "Discover the Secrets to Getting Rid of The Flue" or "How to get rid of The Flue" are more likely to get you interested in an article with that topic than a headline that reads "Flue treatment". Sometimes, these trigger words can be used in a certain manner and order that makes them completely irresistible. Notice how in the first headline sample I added up the words "discover, secrets, get rid." These trigger words packed together in one headline is more likely to deliver more clickthroughs for you than anything else.

There are several ways you can really get to attract people to view your Blog posts and believe me, they are inexhaustible. But take your time to read up books on copywriting and sales letter writing. I am sure that marketers who know what I am saying here will agree with me that you need to have a headline loaded with trigger words to get the best results out of your Blog posts.

Let's go a little bit of the topic.

Amongst the Blogs here at APSense is some very good examples of great titles, but upon opening the post you find yourself staring at a Banner or a oneliner with a link.

For those people, if you read this, which i doubt in any case.

A good heading, won't on it's own get you sales or signups or readers returning to read your future posts.

Put some effort into it, and you will be pleasantly surprised at the results.
