Five Types of Blog Posts Not To Click On

1. Any title containing a number between 3 and 10 (Ha ha, I made you click!)

2. Any title implying that something bad is your fault

3. Any title including "Read this" or "Read here" (Hold up your hand and tell the author to read between the lines!)

4. Any title containing "You won't believe" or "shocking truth" or "secret"

5. Any title containing "Watch what happens"
