"Eat Dead Burnt Bodies"


I guess some people's "sick" is other people's "gifted." Anyway, the line didn't come from me.

I thought the Emotional Marketing Value Headline Generator might prove useful to fellow bloggers and others looking for a way to punch up post titles. Still, how any computer program could assign these words to the "Intellectual" category is beyond me--but I do understand how they'd appeal to people "in the fields of education, law, medicine, politics... "

It took me a couple tries to get my score over 50--I'd be curious to know what word sequence will beat 75, and wonder what a perfect 100 would look like. If anybody has the time...

Try putting THIS in...

"You want premiums opportunities today Easy money Free computer Happy family New baby Lovely dreams We are always the solution"

"Iraq Golden Opportunity" - 166.67%

And....

"Opportunity, Opportunity, Opportunity" - 300%!

I got 125% with "Toddler Body Eats Bomb". At least for short headlines, it doesn't seem to attempt to find "emotional impact" in combinations of words, just in individual words. In a word--lame (incidentally, that's a 0% headline)

I figured they'd like it if I thought like a Marxist, so I put in "Great People's Victory" and hit 100% on the first try.

And for comparison, most professional copywriters' headlines will have 30%-40% EMV Words in their headlines, while the most gifted copywriters will have 50%-75% EMV words in headlines, and devout Communists will have nearly 100% EMV words in their headlines.
