which many do not dedicate the right care, with the belief that the spontaneity, creativity and freedom of the blogger are always preferable. In reality, when I write the titles of my articles, I don't feel less creative and free because I respect certain "rules". No less spontaneous, on the contrary: spontaneity is very useful, it comes into play immediately, when the idea for an article to write is born. The title, then, needs to be improved and, if necessary, completely rewritten. My article of May 6 was initially titled "What if someone doesn't understand our work?". I had chosen it spontaneously , because it was linked to many book reviews I had read, where it was clear that the readers had not understood that work.
I then preferred a more direct Special Data phrase, "How to pan a book", because after all those negative reviews panned books, relegating the first spontaneous choice to the subtitle. Such a title has 3 advantages: It is shorter than the first choice : 4 words versus 8. It contains the adverb “like” , which intrigues readers. It allows a clear (and short) URL : the slug is “how-to-nip-a-book” and not “what-if-someone-doesn't-understand-our-work”. The term slug comes from printing (a piece of metal containing a line of text) and journalism (a sentence indicating the topic of the story). On the web it is the segment of the URL that indicates a page or an article. Why give so much importance to article titles? I was about to write "because it's the first sentence readers read", but by now even the stones (or the walls, if you prefer) know it. I doubt there is still anyone who doesn't know this.
After all, when we open a newspaper or magazine, we really look for the titles. When we enter a blog for the first time, we scroll through the titles of the articles to find out which ones interest or attract us. This would be enough to make us understand why we give a lot of importance to article titles , but there is also another reason. More and more of us are publishing content online and, once our article is published, how do we hope to attract readers if we haven't written a good title (and a consequent good article)? When a person searches for information on Google, how should they find our articles? He finds them not only through good titles, of course, but also through titles. And why should you choose our articles among the many available on Google? He chooses them thanks to the titles, if they are well written and "magnetic".
