Excellent work… talk about being in a headline writing mood!
I tried to think of the major benefits — you can probably improve!
good start these simple re-writes show how important the headline is
ps love your template nicely done.
Your RSS feed is not working. I have been trying to subscribe all day, thought that you would want to know.
Whew! I am impressed and I want to learn this techno-smart strategies.
Very nice job. Doing that is really an art form I think. You seem to really have a knack for it.

Great rewrites except…
Second after example: I think it’s supposed to be “Bandwidth” not “Band With”. Unless, of course, you have an orchestra in your head
Funny how those of us who know how to get great results with long-tail keywords when lots of “expert” SEO folks say it doesn’t work. Glad I’m not working for them LOL.
Hey Perry.
Most excellent post! Thank you for offering up some re-write examples.
Looking forward to learning more marketing tidbits.

Hey Perry, good article. Most headlines are so boring and average. I won’t even look at an article that doesn’t grab me with a strong teaser headline.
Great blog, great content and awesome look.

Great stuff. Laying out the specifics and what they mean…
PS. Please fix your blog feed, it’s broken. I can’t be the only one who’d rather read via RSS…
Interesting copy you have there. I’m always amazed when copywriters put together their own sites. We either wow them with junk or play sadists and rework our stuff until it’s so crisp we can’t tell who wrote it… FLAVORLESS
I personally prefer something in between…
Way to go! You ROCK! (Deadly cliches, but they work.)
These are awesome headlines. As a Virtual Assistant I absolutely love the line the line about freeing up mental bandwidth.
