AVC community member Shana Carp has been building a neat service that A/B tests headlines for WordPress posts and helps you figure out the one that will bring the most traffic.
It’s called BayesianWitch. You can sign up here and add the plugin to your WordPress.
Although I think it’s a great idea for someone who wants to optimize their posts for more traffic, I have not implemented it here at AVC.
As I told Shana, I like to write my own headlines and I am not that concerned with traffic. There’s already a healthy number of people who come here every day and engage.
But if you are still building your readership and want to make sure you’ve got a headline that pops in social media channels like Facebook and Twitter, you should give BayesianWitch a try.
I am sure Shana will be hanging out in the comments and please let her know what you think about the service, how it works, etc, etc.
