- maxyRO, on 05/23/2008, -2/+20I always turn away when I see the Guarantee Headline
- DeviantDragon, on 05/23/2008, -0/+15I've seen comment graveyards but this is like the comment Rapture. Even crappy bot sounding comments are being dugg up to the skies.
- mareacaspica, on 05/23/2008, -6/+20 8 Different Types Of Headlines Which Sell - this is a good title
- londubh, on 05/23/2008, -0/+13This Account Has Been Suspended is a great title?
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -1/+10dont judge a book by its title... psssshaaaw!
- MadMalc, on 05/23/2008, -5/+14The heart of any add is the headline...look at any newspaper.
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -6/+15These are great headline examples and templates to model from and apply to blog articles as well.
- surfsusan, on 05/23/2008, -3/+11Wow a must have for everyone who writes headlines - so blogowners over here.
- StevieJanowski, on 04/02/2009, -2/+10People read the headline and get an instant impression most of the time they get bored this shows you how to get in there heads
- billbugger, on 05/23/2008, -0/+8"Internal Server Error" - nice headline.
- mysteryshop, on 05/23/2008, -3/+10If you want to add a little "spin" and "snap" to your copy, you gonna want to dive head first into what the Toecracker has to say.
- diggit08, on 05/23/2008, -0/+7What the hell is going on here?
- NJank, on 05/23/2008, -0/+6ummm... am I the only one who read the first 10 comments and thought they sounded exactly like what I would write if I was a paid shill?
- isntreal, on 05/23/2008, -0/+6You're traveling to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound... but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land, whose boundaries are only that of the imagination... you're entering... the Twilight Zone
- domfosnz, on 05/23/2008, -3/+9Headlines are super important for grabbing attention. Make sure the rest of the text measures up too though.
- jupaneanu, on 05/23/2008, -2/+8Books are actually mostly judged by their titles...
- WordsnCollision, on 05/23/2008, -1/+7Some headlines sell, some don't. The latter would be "receding headlines", heh!
- Cyhwuhx, on 05/23/2008, -0/+6.::: Reads like a how-to on how to fill out spam mail subject fields.
Though that might explain a lot. - inactive, on 05/23/2008, -2/+7it's true we do judge books by their covers despite what the adage says against that. I've know ToeCracker for a long time, saw him speak at a seminar, and he knows headlines and copy that get results.
- charkamman, on 05/23/2008, -4/+9Trevor is sooo good. Any of his information is worth the read. Recommended!
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -1/+6really very funny video..
- Envark, on 05/23/2008, -0/+5I noticed that as well...
Are these people all actually bots? - unicronband, on 05/23/2008, -0/+5It's Bizarro-Digg!!!
¡¡¡oɹǝz ʎq pǝpıʌıp ǝʌɐɥ ʇsnɯ ǝuoǝɯos - inactive, on 05/23/2008, -3/+7Great stuff. Almost all the articles that get popular on digg follow these rules.
- freshgrease, on 05/23/2008, -1/+5So that's how those asshats do it. I seriously wish marketers hung themselves. "How to: Kill yourself", "21 Reasons why salesmen are not human", "BREAKING: Marketers would rape you in your sleep for an extra buck!"
- adrian67, on 05/23/2008, -3/+7Excellent post with kick ass tips.
- protogenxl, on 05/23/2008, -0/+4Local Man Has Nipple Bitten Off By Beaver
- Lasereth, on 05/23/2008, -1/+4Who are the people who respond to advertising crap like this? Do people really get interested in wasting their money if certain words are in a headline for a product? Am I the only one who is unaffected by advertising? Reminds me of relatives at a family reunion..."I'm gonna have to try that new XXXXX product out, they say it's guaranteed blah blah" I can't believe people fall for this crap.
- bixby1, on 05/23/2008, -3/+6attention grabbed.
- retireat21, on 05/23/2008, -0/+3Also seen here: http://www.retireat21.com/blog/please-dont-swipe-t ...
Better article ;-) - skillfull, on 05/23/2008, -3/+6really good stuff
- mrgoat, on 05/23/2008, -1/+4Shenanigans. These are old school long-form sales type headlines. You can see them a mile off and I do not believe they would work with a contempory online audience.
Do some split A/B test with them as subject lines in email and post the results. - trujillonorte, on 05/23/2008, -3/+5got my attention too
- DeFex, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2well if the newspaper said that on the headline i might buy it.
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2I concur.
- charkamman, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2And I love his last sentence; that he will kick you into having success (or similar) - it shows his drive and concern for his clients.
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -1/+3Yes it is. Newspapers, Magazines - all use killer headlines to draw you into to buy their publications. Check out magazines like: The National Enquirer, Cleo etc. for great headlines to use as a swipe file.
- wendelgee2, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2No, it's not. He made the classic error using "which" instead of "that."
- wasabimonster, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2I visited the site advertising his book on copywriting and the design sucked so I left without reading a word.
- skywake, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2So.... bunching three random words together that have no meaning unless you read the blog doesn't work? Maybe I should call my next blog entry "5 ways to procrastinate before exams! GUARANTEED!!" instead of "Exams, Procrastination, Llamas". :P
- Pyroteq, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2Actually, half the comments so far seem to be spam buddies.
- schweeet, on 05/23/2008, -1/+3I have a few good tips also. Include the words BREAKING or AMAZING in the headline or even better, a combination of both, and you have a seller.
- MsArtGeek, on 05/23/2008, -1/+3These are the cheesiest snake-oil selling headlines known to man... use them if you want to look desperate, like a used car salesman in a cheap suit with a combover and a really loud clashing tie.
- JosefH, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2Question Headline: Should I kill myself?
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1Yes. Very effective headline.
- Nosty, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1Hey what's up Trevor ^
- willwinter, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1No, the first classic error is to get into a land war in Asia. The second classic error is to go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
- Action54, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1Great Article.
Thanks. - Zoshchenko, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1Works every time!
- JosefH, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1Guarantee Headline: If you answer now, you will be blessed eternally. MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE!
