Conclusion #3:
Another important element of a successful blog post title were the numbers.
Numbers make the information more believable and unique.
People tend to believe the science and statistics.
This being said, use numbers instead of words, as well as units of time, especially if you want to emphasize the duration of a process.
The research has also revealed that it is best if the title itself starts with numbers.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your kind words!
Just one thing... What's ESP-N and what did you mean exactly? :)

Well, now I get the joke ;)
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 :))
Thanks for clarifying!

Thanks for the info. I really struggle to write good headlines. My keywords are usually 3-4 word phrases (sometimes longer) and I find it really hard to include them in a catchy headline without making the headline way to long.
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).

Hi Tanja,
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!
