I know that some sites will do things like that (or write really bad copy so people are forced to click on an ad!) In this case, the Content Marketing Institute is a quality organization…so I’m guessing that the headline just backfired.

Perhaps all she wants to do is generate clicks and reports those numbers to her advertisers so they’ll keep buying ad space. And as long as people can relate to the content in some way, regardless if it’s a “sexy” misleading headline, they’ll want to come back to the blog. The headline just gets them there.

What would you have called it, Heather?

I think this is simply mis-leading, there are so many articles available online over the internet and em sure lot of them will be related to your topic as well… then why a read will like the mislead? i think the title should be smart and sexy but in such a way that it delivers what it commits in the beginning…
