There is always a lot of rules about words that you shouldn't use when writing your headlines and descriptions online.
Reasons range from wasting space to words that SE's consider spam triggers (I don't really buy that one, but I do stay way from the word "free").
Recently I awoke to the fact that some of my copy is boring. :o Not really news, I knew I was challenged in that area.
Many of us use Bum Marketing to get as much free traffic as we can before shelling out the bucks, but those efforts are wasted if we don't capture peoples attention. I frequently use the online Thesaurus for alternative words, but I have a hard time being creative off the top of my head.
I have a list of "excitement" words that I fall back on frequently to jazz up my articles, and descriptions.
They are:
Absolutely..
Amazing..
Approved..
Attractive..
Authentic..

The past week or so, I have seen a definite performance improvement in my ads by adding some of these "zingers".
Looking to add to this list.
Do you guys have any others that put a little more zing in your copy ?
