Why you get them! Put it right!

I had gone through an amazing experience, since I posted the article "Microsoft is more generous than Google". The title is interesting, but the content isn't. However "Reflection in lots of things" don't have an attractive title, but the content is quite interesting! But the statics below shows that people don't take a look fairly at all articles, but choose only attractive ones!
Those statics are proof, those reflects the page views of the last 3 days.


The following statics shows clearly that the "Microsoft and Google" article dominated the first position and the number of page views is very very high!
So the title got them, in the social news, in the forums, in the feeds all people where interested on this title which has no real relation with the article content. But the other article title wasn't that interesting.

What attract me more than them, is that they didn't like "Adsense earnings for july" which i though it could drive many of them, but this topic got only 373 page view, the "Reflection" got only 205 page view; the difference is quite clear for "MSFT and google" that got a total of 1,224 page views. (BTWN the most viewed article on my blog ! :D). The views doubled 5 times than normal, but what if I find another interesting topic? Let's think together :)

So my content doesn't matter?
Yes it doesn't matter what is in your article, but all in the title and the summary, this is what attract and get more eyeball on what you publish.
So why put quality content, while I can put any thing :)
No, that's wrong, people will hate your blog and notice it as a spam. They may also report it to the social website, google or the forum admins!
So what to do?
Keep writing good articles and putting the right title. You'll get more readers and more fans.

Here's the proof from Google Analytics.
I can analyse the bounce rate and the percentage of exit of each page on my blog. Here's the "Reflection in lot of things" detailed analysis.
The bounce rate is high but not so much! The exit rate is very high also; but let's get an eye on the "Microsoft and Google" article.
The analysis shows the difference!
