I finally stopped ignoring what my wife told me about my SEO headlines
She looked at my last blog post and said 'this title looks like a robot wrote it while sleeping.' I thought my keyword-packed titles were working but they were getting zero clicks. After she told me that, I rewrote the next one to sound like a real person talking and my CTR jumped from 2% to almost 9% in a month. Has anyone else had someone outside the field call out their algorithm-driven nonsense and actually improve their results?
