I told you don´t read this! Stop here!!! Why are you still reading this? Well the answer is pretty easy, you are curious like everybody else. Don´t get me wrong there is nothing bad about being a little curious but you can use this curiosity to pull some reader to your blog. As I wrote some times before blogging is all about traffic. You can have the best blog or web site of the world if nobody is reading it, it´s worth nothing. Good content is the best way to get readers and even more important to keep them coming back. Good content starts at a good headline. Take a look at the newspapers out there and you will know what I am talking about. It´s the headline that catches the reader’s attention and then you have to put a good post under the good headline. If your blog is all about making money online a good way to catch some attention will be a big number with a $ sign and maybe the words “in just one month”. Maybe you are not making the big time money now, so you can talk about somebody else making it. I know you are on a good way to make the big time money so tell the people what you are doing every day. A good why is also to tell people not to do something, if you want them to do it. Look at my headline, I told you not to read this and you are still reading! I know this works every time I have tried it. I hope you like this post and please don´t click my ads. LOL

1I was curious about the post. It does have a catchy title. I have noticed that I have become immune to certain post titles such ‘ make more money online ‘, ‘ check out this new free ebook ‘. The excitement factor decreases after reading the same old titles hundreds of time.

3In addition to that let me share with you one more technique to create curiosity. This technique has been used by mass control artists in the past in fact most of the winning sales letters knowingly or unknowingly use this technique but first I want to tell you about a book that I read last night about the Law of Attraction. This book was 192 pages I didn’t read it entirely but when I turned on to page 42 I was literally shocked I’ll tell you what I saw on that page but first let me tell you about the technique I mentioned above I hope you won’t use this technique unethically. Iits called the Zeigarnik effect. You tell something in the beginning to pique the curiosity and then drop it and talk about other things. btw there was no text on page 42

4I read your post and liked the pull-in title. Also liked Mano Rame’s comment. Have read the book Law of Attraction and believe in its theories. Great ideas here.

Yes human curiosity can do wonders and good title is the best bait.
I did not click on any of your banners by the way…

8The title just pulls you in and it is human tendency to be curious and do exactly what we are told not to do.
