Anyways, we will try to correct those mistakes so see if we can rank a bit better. Thanks for the great post and advice. #5

Ant makes a good point too, one I'd never thought of: emailing the content to industry leaders. Hmmm. I'd agree that it's not enough to just "tweet" your link or put it on the social media sites. You're likely to get lost in the stream of cyber chatter. I agree with Cathy that the headline being too clever might be a cute hook initially, but your readers are trusting you, and if you venture too far from their expectations, you're taking a big gamble.

There is so much on the web - you don't want to anger your readers by misleading them. They can quickly go elsewhere, never to return. By the way, I also found this valuable post via ProBlogger on Twitter! I agree with Cathy T.'s comment that an accurate title is better than the "clever" one.

This is the first of many of ProBloggers link tweets that I clicked on. The last couple of weeks I've been thinking about the relevance of my post titles, how to bait people, and whether or not I WANT to! Sometimes I think the accurate title is better than the clever one. Your readers will like that. Cathy Great tips! This is the first of many of ProBloggers link tweets that I clicked on.
