Do you guys think technorati can be used effectively to test headline effectiveness?

The idea would be to device several different headlines that say the same thing in different ways and then simultaneously ping technorati – to see if any particular type of headline pulls more blind views.

I could see several challenges but I think the first is devising categories for the headlines and identifying the modes of language that are being tested.

  1. Problem is, you're assuming enough people still use Technorati to make such a test worth anything.
  2. exactly what I have been wondering - though it should be great for testing a spam weary audiance. What other sites are there that aggregrate headlines from pinging?
  3. Reddit might let you make comments without adding a post. Smaller group of people over there, so they're fairly sensitive to anything they might consider spammy.
    1. Thanks Stoneman – I have been seeing reddit widgets but have never visited. On your good word I’ll check it out.
  4. "Wired PR banning blow up"?
  5. That was a great article Rich.

    Now to find the balance. I obviously want a targeted release for my client yet I also know the more press releases I send out the greater the chances.
    You know what – I am asking for a money back guarantee from the provider.

    Thnx Rich.
