The tone of the headline should match the tone of the article. How about if I had used "Dumb vet can't tell when he's wounded" for my article on Gordon Rozanski (There are no medals for kindness).

I tried everything possible and impossible to grow them traffic. In vain. I tried the more unusual titles. In vain. My site content has 100% original articles. It is about politics, movies, rock music. But not anything except help increase traffic (also reduced) to Facebook. I think it ultimately comes down to luck ... I have a site about two years.

Still wiping the tears of laughter from my eyes. I've struggled with headlines...wanting to appease the SEO gods. This article reminded me to lighten up and put my "kookie hat" on and get creative with my headlines. Thanks for the eye popper, er, I mean eye opener! I enjoyed your blog post.
