Write a Contender: Article Titles That Increase Page Views

Adventures in Article Titles

AC LAW
Every time I write an AC article I struggle with the article title. They are critical to increase page views. Wanting to increase page views, I have read many of the articles written about creating good article titles that have been published on AC and elsewhere. They have been a great help, but that doesn't mean I couldn't use more help. What if you could have the help of an assistant to help you increase page views by brainstorming article titles for you with every article you write. That would be helpful. What if your assistant had creative experience coming up with titles for Hollywood movies. That would be even better. What if you had an unlimited number of assistants like that.. An unlimited number of assistants all with experience writing titles for Hollywood movies helping you to increase page views through better article titles. That would be great.. In a sense, that exact kind of help is out there and it's completely free. I use it now for every article I write. It's how I got the subtitle for this article in a few seconds and at least for me it's working.

The next time your stuck for an article title go to the site Joox.net, The Movie HQ, and click over to the movie section. What they have there is a of at least 300 hundred movie titles in bright blue font against a black background page. If you can appreciate that for each movie title listed, someone has spent a good deal of time and effort trying to make that title catchy and memorable you will see the value of using movie titles to help you create an article title that will increase page views.

For example. I recently wrote an AC article titled The Trick to Making Perfect Fluffy Rice , wouldn't a better title have been A Little Trip To Heaven: How To Make Perfect Fluffy Rice? I also wrote an article about the cost of being caught with cocaine (not a personal experience) with the title Caught with Coke How Much Money Will it Cost You?, a less than memorable title. Wouldn't Find Me Guilty: Caught with Cocaine, have been a better one?

Now I always use the list at Joox.net as a title resource. It really helps me brainstorm article titles that will increase page views.

    It's hard to find that balance between an interesting title and a discoverable one...sigh...
