Default Vote or Opinion on 4 Headlines

I have four headlines for a new software package and I would appreciate it if you could give me your opinion, or vote for the one you think is best...

If you have a better idea I'd like to hear it also.

I appreciate any help you can offer...

Headline #1
"Generate An Avalanche Of Free Traffic To Your Website In A Matter Of Minutes"

Headline #2
“Discover How To Instantly Attract Thousands of New Visitors To Your Web Site And Explode Your Profits By 377% Virtually Overnight With The Use Of Web 2.0 Promotion”

Headline #3
“Discover How A Struggling Web Site Owner Stumbled Upon Web 2.0 Traffic Secrets That Took Him From The Bottom Of The Search Engines To The Top In Days…. Now You Can TOO!

Headline #4
“Finally, A Blazing-FAST, New, Revolutionary Web 2.0 Submission Program That Instantly Floods Your Web Site With Targeted Traffic, Increases Your Online Visibility, Improves Your Search Engine Rankings, And Helps You Reel In Profits Like A Top Marketing Guru”

The webpage is here: Social Buzz Master - Social Media Optimization Productivity Tool

and I'll be running a wso soon before I launch.

Thanks,

gregw

#1. - it's less than ideal but at least it's not a dissertation like the
others.

This is my favorite of the bunch. I would go straight to the point, and keep it short. Show only benefits in the headline, then explain how and why in the copy (ie Web 2.0 and Social Bookmarking). Leave them wanting more after the headline

When I hear the word "Discover" I feel that I am about to purchase something to read. You have software.

So I'd shorten it to "Instantly Attract Thousands of Visitors To Your Web Site And Explode Your Profits by 377% Virtually Overnight..."

Most long headlines bog the reader down but these actually flow pretty well considering their length. I like #2 and #4 with #4 slightly edging the other.

I like #2 mostly because it uses an exact figure the reader can grasp onto. (As long as you prove that number in the copy. If you don't the reader may feel tricked and therefore not trust you.)

But I would also try and shorten it. Make it a bit more concise.

Tough call

- I like #2 but I'd shorten it to:
Instantly Attract Thousands of New Visitors To Your Site And Explode Your Profits By 377% Virtually Overnight

And then mention Web 2.0 in a sub-head like this:
Discover How To Unleash the Awesome Power of Web 2.0 Traffic On Your Site Now With Social Buzz Master 2.0!

Or re-phrase as a question:
Who Else Wants To Learn How To Instantly Attract Thousands of New Visitors To Your Site And Explode Profits By 377% Virtually Overnight?

Hope this helps!

Steve

#2 but probably a shorter version like

Attract Thousands of New Visitors To your website Overnight & Explode Your Profits By 377%

Besides, #4 ??? that's not a heading, it can qualify for a paragraph thou

Thank you all kindly... I wasn't able to respond because I was between airports traveling and arrived at my destination late last night. At which time I promptly fell asleep.


So far it looks like:

#1 - 3 votes
#2 - 6 votes (some mods)
#3 - 0 votes
#4 - 2 votes

and then some new suggestions based on modifications...

I`d work on the number one, it`s the pithiest one in the bunch, tweak it a little, other ones make me yawn, to loooooong.

Making your prospect look like a deer on the road flashed by the big rig looking into his demise. WHAM!! You got him! Yup, that`s what my copywriting does. Want to grab `em by their throats and make `em take out their wallets? Go to -----> http://www.marketerslife.com for more info.

Headline #1
"Generate An Avalanche Of Free Traffic To Your Website In A Matter Of Minutes"
Great but not much detail as to how.


Headline #2
“Discover How To Instantly Attract Thousands of New Visitors To Your Web Site And Explode Your Profits By 377% Virtually Overnight With The Use Of Web 2.0 Promotion”

I feel 377% is to specific, as an engineer I would question how you came up with that figure. Because of my strong Scottish accent, I run when is see Web 2.0.


Headline #3
“Discover How A Struggling Web Site Owner Stumbled Upon Web 2.0 Traffic Secrets That Took Him From The Bottom Of The Search Engines To The Top In Days…. Now You Can TOO!

Better submbled upon could be replaced by "used"

“Discover Exactly How A Struggling Web Site Owner used Web 2.0 Traffic Secrets That Took Him From The Bottom Of The Search Engines To The Top In Days.


Headline #4
“Finally, A Blazing-FAST, New, Revolutionary Web 2.0 Submission Program That Instantly Floods Your Web Site With Targeted Traffic, Increases Your Online Visibility, Improves Your Search Engine Rankings, And Helps You Reel In Profits Like A Top Marketing Guru”

The best. however #3 suggests more humititly in teaching how you achieved this. Some times dramatic head like really grab you attension, then fall flat when you buy the product.


The title is so important, but you already know that. I hope this helps.
