That was written before Google and SEO, but the difference is even more dramatic today. If people don’t click on your headline in order to read the page, you don’t stand a chance of ranking. You just disappear. Click-through rate is the #1 factor in SEO. No amount of backlinks can overcome a terrible headline. The following are a list of newsworthy and interesting headline formats. Be creative. Offer a benefit to the reader. Though it may seem crazy, you’d be wise to spend more time working on your one-sentence headline than on your entire body copy! Don’t be afraid to mix and match elements from different headlines, depending on the story.
