No mater what you offer, an appealing title attracts visitors, draw traffic, and generate sales. Once you put your post into those social network sites such as del.icio.us, diggs or some blog index/aggregators, the title will be the key to attract clicks. Thus you should make it a big deal to craft the title of each post carefully.

What kind of titles are appealing? First the title should be descriptive that means understandable. With a little bit of creativity, you can make the title controversial, unique, thought provoking, poetic, sarcastic, that’ll all make an appealing call.

However, if you don’t want to be super creative, a simple approach is to make the title a list. If you look around, it’s not hard to realize that many heavily bookmarked articles are just some sort of lists, — top 10 something, 101 things, 50 list, etc. People just like list, period. One example, my previous post “Can You Ping More?” could be titled as “22 Aggregators to Ping to Maximumize Post Exposure”, or something like that.
