Apart from the design of a blog, the best way to create a great first impression is through the title. The title of tour post plays a vital role in creating the very first impression and grabbing the attention of readers. But this is not all, as title has many other things to Do too. Let’s find out in what other ways the titles play their role.

  • Search Engine Attention: Just type in any word that is in your mind in the Google, and you know the result very well. You’ll land up to thousands of results and you have to decide which result to click on. With every information there’s a title with a short excerpt and the URL. So by now you have known the trick of what a title has to do in this case. The most catchy your title is, the more highlighted it appears and it is probably the best key to Search Engine referral clicks.
  • RSS Readers Attention: Just the case with Search Engines, similarly titles play an important role in grabbing the attention of the readers who are following your blog through RSS in news aggregators. Most news aggregators have a tendency to scan the title of posts instead of reading the full matter. This similar thing has been noticed with other Directories and indexes too such as Technorati, del.icio.us, digg and others. So, your post title has to be an attractive one to be captured by such scanning.
  • Dedicated Readers: Just as web users scan pages, similarly the so called dedicated readers of your blog too roll down through your blog or site. And the best way to grab their attention towards a particular post is a good title that forces them to slow down their rolling eyes and read the content.
