Hi.

I wrote a Special Report. I need a better title than...

The 5 Deadliest Threats To Your Computer Network

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
-Rob

    Hi Rob,

    At this point I don't see anything lacking in your naming.

    What are you unsure about?

    All the best,
    Ewen

      I agree with Ewen.

      It's a good title for a special report. "Deadliest Threats" effectively triggers emotion.

          Seems weaker Lance by adding "Could".

          Seems to fit into the same catogory as, "maybe", "some day".

          Anyway, good to thrash this out.

          All the best,
          Ewen

            What's missing is an indication of what audience this is for.

            If I have a home computer network, is this for me?

            If I manage a computer network at the office, is this for me?

              I think Rob has that covered with his targeted mailing Marcia.

                Hi All,

                Thank you all so much for your replies. Much appreciated.

                I think I'm just gonna leave it as-is. I need to keep it short, because it's going on a very small sidebar form. And if it's between "Deadly" or "Malicious", I think deadly works fine (thanks though, Lance.)

                @marciayudkin - It's offered on a website targeted specifically to business users. No concerns about confusion there.

                @Metronicity - I could only think of five good ones that I had plenty to write about. This is one of those time consuming projects that I needed to get done and over with quickly, so I didn't want to hurt my brain trying to come up with content for two more items. Maybe I'll go back later and beef it up to get a "7" in the title.

                @RickDuris - I promise to update the other thread with complete results.

                @GR - Keeping it short.

                Thanks all,
                -Rob

    Why 5? Make it 7.

    Here's my suggestion:

    The 5 Most Sinister Threats Actively Waiting To Cripple Your Computer Network And How You Can Easily Protect Yourself From Them In 24 Hours Or Less!

    IMHO, This feels a little more urgent and emotional to me in terms of problem agitation, and also promises easy instant gratification to the prospect.

      Sincere question: Are you kidding or do you really write headlines like that?
