Really the topic of this post is: How to write attractive headlines for your blog posts.

Blog post titles are extremely important.  It is the first thing that the reader sees in their RSS, SERP (search engine results page), or social bookmarking site.  Also, your title is probably the number one thing that will affect a search engines ability to accurately categorize you post/site.

There are a few well know factors in writing blog posts and attracting readers to your site. As ActionsTalk is very young we have yet to build a substantial reader base but we are on our way.

Here are a few keys to quality blog post titles:

•  Post titles should paint a clear picture of the subject matter of the post (obviously I didn’t follow this very well here).
• Post titles should entice the reader to continue reading the rest of your post.
• Post titles should use keywords and phrases that will be picked up by search engines.

Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, and Youtube were all in the top 15 most search terms on Google this week.  With this post title I will test the validity of the claims made in this post.  Currently the site avgs. about 25 unique readers a day my guess is that this post title will shoot the unique reader number well above the avg.  A post of the results of this test forthcoming.
