How to Write a Good Title?
I've been doing some research for a while about this and I decided to create a training to share with you my findings about what words/titles attract Internet users the most.
I also read various sources which shared their investigations on hundreds of article/blog post titles and how popular they were in social networks, whatsoever.
Assessing the top 20% of blog posts, marketers came to the following 7 conclusions...

Just one thing... What's ESP-N and what did you mean exactly? :)
By context, I thought along the extra-sensory perception but then when I googled ESPN it was the entertainment and sports programming network - so it got me confused :))

Good to see you again :)
Very glad to hear that this information was useful to you!
Wish you all the luck! :)
You just made me smile so big :))
I am so happy that my knowledge is helpful and useful to fellow WA members and anyone else!
It is my great pleasure :)
Thank you for stopping by.
P.S. Am following now, so hope to stay in touch!
Many of the blog posts that I see being shared on social media have very catchy headlines, but I think that they are often not using keywords. They are going for attention grabbing and hoping that their blogs get noticed via social media shares and not through google searches (there is no way some of these blogs would come up if I searched for that particular topic in google).
I am glad to hear you found this training useful. I didn't find a super lot of information at WA on this stuff, so decided to share my research.
I know what you are talking about - social media is a powerful thing but it is better to combine it with the google search. I recently signed up for Jaaxy, so it makes life easier with the alphabet search.
Also, what I think is that the catchy titles that you see do have the keyword in them, and the rest of the words is just for attention. And then in the link section of a blog post, they only would include the keyword itself (without the catchy part of the title).
So that's my guess.
Let me know if the tips from this training helped you in the future with grabbing readers' attention :)
Thanks for stopping by and I will see you around!
