Evidently, the majority have a really one-of-a-kind name. They may not always be very good, but they are extremely unique. And on the whole, they succeed at making you notice them.
Get Them Interested
That’s the first lesson – a good name needs to catch its target audience’s attention by standing out above lists of other blogs to stop people in their tracks and make them want to take a peek.
But you won’t get anyone to click to your site if the meaning behind the name doesn’t connect with them in a positive way. To generate traffic to your blog, your name needs to resonate with whoever you’re trying to reach. They need to think it’s cool, funny, cute or simply awesome.
Generally, it’s easier to create a name that gets attention. As you can see, one effective strategy is to use abstract and wacky concepts that just makes people stop to think a little. And if what they ponder about is interesting enough, it should pique their curiosity and lead them to take a look at what you’ve got on your site.
The bottom line? Try to build your blog’s name around your content. If you want a funny name that shocks your readers, make sure you’re publishing funny content that’s shocking.
And if you’re not very funny, then use quirkiness to brand your blog. It’s a great way to be unique and be different to all the millions of other blogs on the Web.
