Characteristics of a good headline –

Short (because people don't read much the first time round)

Rich in information scent, clearly summarizing the target article

Front-loaded with the most important keywords (because readers

often scan only the keywords)

Understandable out of context (because headlines often appear

without articles)

Predictable, so users know whether they'll like the full article
