If you need a little help coming up with a catchy title for an article or blog post you’ve written, then check out Linkbait Generator. It’s described as a really handy tool to brainstorm ideas.
What is “linkbait”? Matt Cutts who works on search quality at Google defines “linkbait” as something interesting enough to catch people’s attention. A creative headline, interesting data or controversial content that generate interest and give people a reason to link to you attracting more visitors to your site.
Here’s how Linkbait Generator works:
Let’s say you’re trying to come up with a title for an article or blog post and the keyword is ‘Procrastination’. Go to Linkbait Generator, type in your keyword(s) and click ‘Generate’ for title suggestions. Each time you click ‘Generate’ you will get another title suggestion for the keyword(s) you entered.
To give you an idea of the wide range of title suggestions you’ll get, here are a dozen from my example using ‘Procrastination’:

You’ll find that some titles are completely irrelevant or silly while others could quite likely be used or tweaked to suit the article you’ve written. Some are even a little racy which I didn’t include here.
Linkbait Generator is a fun and free tool to get the ideas flowing when you’re stuck. Why don’t you give it a try!
