We’ve all heard about the importance of post titles. The greater their impact, the higher the chance someone will actually bother to read your 400-1000 word blog post. But I’m not here to just tell you that.

I’m here to point you to an in incredibly intuitive, yet excellent post by Brian Clark on very specific post titles. That’s why you’re reading this post, right? I promised you one surefire method to increase the traffic you receive for each blog post your write by a very specific percentage, 50%.

Brian states that the more specific your post title, the greater its credibility since specific details are always more believable than plain generalisation. I agree. But I also have to note that you can’t use this method on every post you write, which he explicitly states as well.

For example, I’m sure you’re pretty pissed by now that I made the title of this post as specific as it is, without any potential whatsoever of fulfilling the detailed promise contained within it, right? How am I supposed to be sure how bulletproof this method is, or how effective it would be for you?

But if you can back your headings, specificity will definitely bring you the extra traffic your post deserves. And to think you’ll get these kind of tips by the dozens at Brian’s blog.
