Irresistible Lens Titles on Squidoo

Squidoo's choice for Lens of the Day today has one of the most irresistible, "Must click NOW!" titles of any lens title I can remember, ever. 

How to Design Your Really Weird Alien

That's the title.  Isn't it awesome?  Doesn't it make you say, "Huh?" and want to click and read the lens - immediately?  Or is it just me who wants answers to all those questions the title generates in my puny brain?  ("My alien?"  "Why is it weird, even really weird?  I need to design an alien?  Did I miss an assignment somewhere?) 

I recently wrote about choosing a title for your lens, the man and machine elements to consider.  I'm not positive this title nailed the machine element; I'd have to do some keyword research to find out.  I am positive, though, that it hit the human element smack dab on the head.  At least it hit my head.  In fact, it almost knocked me over.

Are you still reading this?  If you want answers, too, then go right now and click on the title and check out the lens.  I hope you're as curious as I was about what this really weird alien thing is all about.  And I hope I can come up with a title as compelling and irresistible as this one for my next lens.  Love it! 

Man, Machine, and Better Squidoo Lens Titles

What do "man" and "machine" have to do with choosing titles for your Squidoo lenses?

You'll find the answer in The 2 Most Important Elements of a Great Lens Title, a post I wrote yesterday for the SquidooHQ blog.

I mentioned recently that SquidooHQ is the place to find great Squidoo tips, and this post is no exception.  Pardon me if it appears that I'm tooting my own horn, but I'm basing this statement on the excellent feedback this man/machine post has received.  So if you want to learn how to create a better title for your lenses and (most likely) get more traffic as a result, then just go read the post.

Then I'd love if you'd come back and leave a comment here to let me know your thoughts on the subject.
