That is automatic, it does not matter where, but if you see a strong title, your head will imagine a strong text, with the same impact that the headline brings.

For example, imagine that you are looking for some games article, and somewhere in the internet, you find a list with 15 different articles, how will you choose the one that you will read? Exactly, by the title!

Here are some examples:

Imagine that now you are looking for some nursing or meditation study, trying to convince yourself about the positive points of those practices, right?

And you found two different texts, the first one called “meditation nurses” and the second one called “Benefits of Meditation for the Nursing Profession: A Quantitative Investigation. Which one would you choose? Probably the second one, right? But why?

These two titles may describe very similar studies and results, booth articles could even be about the same study and bring to you the same positive and negative points. That is the magic of a good title, did you realize?
