I am stubborn so I like to write whatever post I want.... but I have noticed when I have tried to include keywords and make it nice for humans and search engines, i've seen the maximum benefit... I just need more learning about it, so this is a great resource.... thanks again!

I think your photo in the post is the perfect illustration of why a good headline is so important. The man bending down to read has obviously seen something that 'caught his eye' and it's something we're all familiar with. I don't know if they do it in other countries, but in the UK the late night news programs quite often have a segment where they read out a few headlines from the next day's papers. By that time of night they've already been printed. What's most interesting is that it isn't always the main headline that gets read out. Sometimes the smaller story headlines catch the eye of the reviewer. I've been experimenting with headlines myself recently on my blog. I have a stats tracking package so I can see which posts are being read, which are being bookmarked and so on. There's a very clear preference - at least from my readers - of simple, bold and direct headlines. Hans, this is a great list to use.

In the profession we say that 80% of people decide to read or not read based on the headline. All too often people just plug in the quick headline that pops int heir mind. A good headline should have a keyword that is a feature discussed in your article, followed by a benefit for the reader. 5 tips... 54 proven... Seven easy... these are all the features. The benefit is what follows, such as eye popping... and killer... Numbered headlines are great just for this fact, then give a feature and nearly always a benefit. A good headline is something that takes time. A pro that is writing for the consumer market will write 100 to 300 headlines before deciding on the best. Very often it is headline first, then content. For a blog post I feel that most people will know what they want to write about, so do that first. Once you are done work on that headline, and take the time to get one that really draws the person in to the article. I am a copywriter and know the importance of a headline.
