Modern Life is Rubbish has a good quick read on title do’s and don’ts that goes well with Copy Blogger’s series on magnetic headlines (CopyBlogger is one of those must read websites for bloggers).

    When in doubt, any combination of the words “Britney” “Sex” and “Video” will work.

    I was pretty surprised at how much traffic I got from being on page five of the search results for “paris hilton sex tape”.

    Of course, I’m pretty sure that stunt got me on some cybernanny block lists based on people complaining that they couldn’t access my site anymore afterwards.

    I bet they wanted you all the more for it! The elusive is the more desireable. Or you could always turn to the dark side and work for Fleshbot and literally pimp your blog.
