Taglines are perhaps the most underrated and underused elements of personal and business blogs, yet they serve a huge function. The social web has conditioned us to move through content-based sites quickly, and if we reach a site with an unclear thesis we’re likely to click to the next thing. You also can’t count on visitors to read your “about” page.
In a world that increasingly moves at 140 characters or less, having a hook such as a clever tagline can make all the difference. Taglines are your brand’s elevator pitch and help people get a quick snapshot of who you are. It’s your opportunity to be descriptive, catchy, memorable and create a unique brand for your blog. They also present a great opportunity for keyword inclusion, but not at the sacrifice of stickiness. Ideally you can combine something catchy and SEO friendly.
