Grabbing Attention with Famous Names in Blog Post Titles

I have a confession to make. I ADORE the movie Fight Club. I’m sure my love of this dark and twisted tome reveals a definite “crack” in my psyche.

Now, this has EVERYTHING to do with Grabbing Attention with Blog Post Titles because any Blog Post with “Fight Club” instantly GRABS my attention!

• Microsoft and the Rules of Fight Club
• Anti Virus Fight Club Results
• Blog Fight Club
• Fight Club Quotes
• and one that ESPECIALLY attracted my attention: Christian Fight Club
  (Exceptional! Is it possible that watching the movie hasn’t tainted my immortal soul?)

I could “justify” this tendency of mine by claiming that most posts which reference Fight Club are witty and well written. But more than likely, this is an illustration of WIIFM (What’s In It For Me) syndrome.

I’m sure that there are people for whom the name “Paris Hilton” or “Brad Pitt” are equally effectuve at grabbing attention.

Your Blog Post Titles are very important… choose them carefully. Eighty percent of your blog readers will read your blog post titles…. twenty percent will read your post content.
