700+ Catchy Words List to Write Attention-Grabbing Headlines

If you were to ask a professional blogger about how they get so much traffic despite writing occasionally, the most obvious answer will be a great title.

The title is the first thing observed by readers and within those 30 seconds, you’ve to entice them on clicking & reading the complete article. However, many bloggers still struggle to write catchy blog titles which can attract more traffic.

One common reason is lack of use of interesting or catchy words.

See, there’s a limit on how many words you can use on the title. You can’t write 100 words explaining what the reader will get out of it and how great it is. More specifically, there’s a limit of only 70 characters for Google SERP results. If you fluff it and use ordinary words, it’ll become harder to get a good CTR.

So, how to get over it and write eye-grabbing blog titles?

Simple solution – use more catchy words.

What are Catchy Words?

You might be wondering, how do I define a catchy word? It’s quite simple. Just make sure the word triggers at least one of the below situations in the reader’s mind.

• Sense of emergency
• Anger
• Happiness
• Curiosity
• Other emotions

By using such emotional-triggering words, your titles will get more attention and hence a better Click-Through-Rate (CTR)

How Important is it to use Catchy Words?

As per Neil Patel – a popular internet marketer – Headlines are worth 90% of advertising dollars and even a single word can affect the campaign drastically.

Another study published on CopyBlogger, reveals the power of a single word where social psychologist Ellen Langer asked to cut in line at a copy machine.

The three sentences she used and their results were:

“Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine?”  60% said OK.

“Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I’m in a rush?”  94% said OK.

“Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I have to make some copies?” 93% said OK.

As you can observe, by adding the single word “because” and a reason to it, the results were completely changed.

Similarly, if you don’t hit the right emotional string and give a reason to readers, it’ll be challenging to get clicks or conversion. You can watch more about the importance of using “power words” in below video by Neil Patel.
