		<description>I laughed my head off because well being both funny, they still had those decent signal - they were not out and out parody. I&#039;d say move on and to hell with those who do not get it. It was funny, but yeah you have an effective style, as I have learned, sometimes people get when you&#039;re trying to be funny, but that&#039;s an individual thing. It&#039;s your fault they do not get it and the people you should not expect to dumb them down is not. A writing style that reflects the skills vary.</description>

		<description>Hi Chris,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Not that this is information about your &quot;reach&quot; that you don&#039;t already know but I did a google search on the top 50 social media blogs to get some advice for starting out. You came up at #1 so I did a little surfing on your site and came across the posts you are referring to. I did think the titles were a little off with your following but was intrigued anyway (you obviously know what you are doing so I was hoping to get some little golden nuggets). So, even though you may not see yourself as an expert, google disagrees :( Thanks, Chris!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Paul</description>

		<description>Chris, outside of some of the other lessons learned from other commenteres, the first lesson I thought of is that it shows the power of the headline. It had the feel of a Cosmo or Enquirer headline, which work, right?!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To back this up it would be interesting to see the bounce rate for these posts compared to others and also the time spent on the site where these posts were the lead in.  My suspicion is that those visitors who thought the headlines were serious would quickly leave and not look at any of your other content.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That may give a better understanding for the traffic bump.  Could be an interesting analysis!</description>
