The recommendation is not to swipe titles completely but to get ideas and give it your own spin.

Thanks Sharon.

David & Mike, the headline analyzer is indeed interesting. Not perfect but worthy of a spin before publishing articles/posts.

Thanks for the tips. The headline analyzer is interesting – I’ve tried changing my headlines to see how they score before publishing.

FitJerk > Great comments. You are right that free does trigger the red flag.

Lakita > Yes, the headline analyzer is really great.

Debbie > I too (mis)treat the headline when its one of the most important aspects of an article or blog post. I have changed since

Thank you for this article! I treat the title like it’s just some quick add on, and I know that is not the right way to do it. This is a good checklist, plus I did not know there was a “headline analyzer. Good to know.

Good article, although I would avoid using the word “Free” in your article or perma-link for two important reasons:

1. The traffic it attracts aren’t buyers, as you pointed out.
2. The word FREE is one of Google’s red-flag words and you risk your content being deemed slightly spammy.

“give away” or “low cost” or “complimentary” are much better terms to use.
