I keep getting sent articles to publish on my blogs in return for giving links back to the authors. However most are dumped into the trash folder as soon as I read the title. There really isn’t any way to put over how bad these titles are except to list some of the absolute gems of poor copywriting I have been sent in recent weeks.

The point about a title is that it is effectively an advert, encouraging potential readers to actually read the contents. If the title fails, then all the hard work of writing the article is wasted.
