just finished testing two different blog posts for my blogs on dead space 2 for xbox

1 was just entitled my dead space 2 review
2 was entitled is dead space 2 to scary for girls

post 2 beat 1 by over 5,000 views i got 55 comments compared to 12 for 1 post

i made lots sales but post 2 converted twice as much as post 1

two days ago did a youtube video for my 2nd post over 500 views in 2 days

what was different in my second post i was controversial my post came from angle that women were less likely to buy horror games

99.9% comments were from women saying that i was wrong but yet they belong to my fan pages newsletters etc

negative emotions powerful thing

of course dead space 2 isnt to scary for girls i know that it started a communication which is what social sites like facebook and twitter thrive on

What is the name of your yellow rag in the UK, The Sun? Like we have the Enquirer and such. Raucous headlines generate amusement and interest.

Did you know Elvis is from Venus? Davvero.

Everybody knows Elvis is from Venus, and Totie Fields is from Mars.

The Sunday Sport used to be held up as the "pinnacle" of laughable "journalism", and once featured a headline entitled (and I kid you not) "B52 Bomber Found On Moon!".

The Sun is semi-sensible by comparison, although they did feature one of my fave headlines ever: "Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster!" :)

And before you ask; I am proud to say I have never, ever, even once, bought a Murdoch paper.

You don't need to buy Murdoch papers to get full benefit of their wisdom.

I've also seen plenty of Devil's Dumplings in my time too, which lessens any appeal the red-tops* might have had.

*this is the UK term for the tabloid press, so called because their names are often printed in red, and not anything to do with ... well, you know what I mean ...
