If that headline caught your attention, it did its job. There's a nice little tool available from CoSchedule that you can use to check the headline that you intend on using. So for the one that I used here it was rated 72 (I presume out of 100) and was given an A+. It contains a good balance of word types, from common to emotional and power. It also informed me:
Your headline is the right length.Headlines 55 characters long tend to earn the highest number of click-throughs.
Your headline is the right length.Headlines with approx 6 words tend to earn the highest number of click-throughs.
I could also see how it would work in an email, what the keywords are, the sentiment, and what it would look like in a Google search result.
Nice and simple to use, and it was quite fun as well, trying out different sorts of words and phrases. If you're a blogger, this is a tool that is certainly worth using.
