How to Create Attention-Grabbing Headlines
This might prove to be helpful for those in the area of marketing...
An effective headline should be well integrated with your website's focus and allow you to direct the eyes of your customers to where you want them to go. When it comes to creating a headline that demands attention, there is no set formula. But here's what most experts recommend.
First, study the competition and read existing headlines on the web to get a sense of what works, from successful ecommerce websites, and from direct marketing ads you might be getting through the mail.
When you've gotten a good idea of some of the existing headlines out there, get a pad and pencil and start making a list of at least 50 headlines that might apply to your product.
Don't worry about nailing it just yet, instead just write down whatever comes to mind. You will refine and test your headlines later.
The secret code is actually a generic formula that gets attention and creates desire in your prospect's mind. Every winning headline has a unique generic formula hidden inside."

Don't worry about nailing it just yet, instead just write down whatever comes to mind. You will refine and test your headlines later.
To start, analyze your customers and ask yourself:
What do they care about most?
What is the biggest problem they face?
How can you help them solve it?
And most importantly - How are they finding your site? What Google search terms are they using? Are you answering their search query with your headline?
If you find yourself getting stuck, realize this: most top copywriters don't come up with their own headlines. They copy them.
Top copywriters know certain set formulas work and they simply apply these formulas to their products... over and over again. Here's one example of a set formula. How to _____ and _____.
This is the formula used by Dale Carnegie for his best-selling book "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
The secret code is actually a generic formula that gets attention and creates desire in your prospect's mind. Every winning headline has a unique generic formula hidden inside."
Here are some other formulas you can use. Each of these work on the "secret code" principle.
- Who Else Wants to ___________ ? For example: "Who else wants to Learn the Secrets of Ecommerce Success?"
- Revealed: The Secret to ____________. For example: "Revealed: The Secrets to Learning Foreign Languages Quickly."
- 22 Reasons You _________________. This example uses the word "reasons" and provides a specific number for credibility. For example, "22 Reasons You Should Be Testing Your Headline Today."
- Don't Do ________ Before You Do __________. This example grabs the reader with a warning. For example, "Don't buy any Autoresponder Software Before You Read this Article."
In addition to the formulas above, a second strategy is to develop a longer headline that clearly spells out the key benefit of your product. This is the type of headline commonly used by Internet guru Armand Morin.
Here are some headlines used to sell his products. Notice how each headline clearly spells out the key benefit of his product.

Learn from the 100 best headlines ever written, compiled by Jay Abraham Once you have your preliminary list of headlines written down, (and remember, you can do this over several days - we don't expect you to wrack your brain doing it in one sitting) take a break, relax, and forget about them.
The very next day, take a fresh look at the headlines you wrote. Cross out as many as you can until you're down to 20 or so. If you think of better headlines, add them. Then once again, take a break and forget about them.
Again, on the next day, look at your list and further reduce the list to 5 - 10 headlines. Now you're done with the first step and ready to move to the second step. The testing of your headlines. Now the fun begins.

Top 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions on Domain Name Registration
1. Which characters are allowed in Internet domain names?
For normal ASCII domain names, the letters a-z, the numbers 0-9, and one special character, the hyphen or dash "-". Note that domains cannot start or end with a hyphen. For the new tested IDNs (Internationalized Domain Names), the full range of Unicode characters are available. This allows nearly all of the languages on the planet to be represented within domain names, including Thai, Arabic, Lao, Hebrew, French, German etc.
2. How many characters can a Internet domain name have?
Generic domains (gTLDs) can have 63 characters in the second level, plus the top level domain, .com, .net etc.
3. How long can I register a Internet domain name for?
In most cases, you are allowed to register a Internet domain name for period of one to ten years. Longer periods are not currently allowed by the registry.
4. How long do Internet domain registrations take to make & process?
Typically ten minutes or so. Once you have chosen the name and paid the fee, most registration systems will register your name in near real-time.
5. Do I "own" a domain name I register?
Not really, it is more like a rental agreement. But importantly, you have the exclusive right to renew the agreement with the registry at the end of the initial registration period, so effectively you can keep the name as long as you want.
6. Why does my Internet domain name still show as unregistered in a WHOIS tool?
WHOIS tools are meant to show the nameserver / contact information for domain names held by a particular ICANN registrar. They are typical not updated in real-time and thus are not good indicators of current domain registration status.
7. How will I know if a Internet domain registration attempt has been successful?
WHOIS tool takes anything up to 48 hrs to be updated so can't be relied on. A better indicator is whether you receive a confirmation e-mail from the domain registrar. You could also try registering the name again. By doing so, the registrar will do a "live" availability check on the name, which will indicate to you whether the name has been registered or not. This is not the same as a WHOIS look-up.
8. How long do domain names take to be active after registration?
Approximately 24 - 48 hrs, though because nameservers work as a distributed network, it can take up to 72 hrs or more before your domain name is accessible to all Internet users worldwide.
9. Can I register a Internet domain for later use?
There is no problem in registering domain names first, and using them later on. In fact, it is estimated that among 80% to 90% of all domain names are "idle".
10. Can I get a refund if I make a mistake & register the wrong name?
Nearly all domain registrars operate a strict no refund policy. This is because they are charged a non-refundable fee by the registry to perform the registration.
