It is editorialized, but I would not have followed a link titled "Domain Names" as it does not convey the quality of the article.
I think it's reasonable to use one of the more interesting points of the article when the original title is so vague.
- ars 16y agoSo basically linkbait works, and it's just lucky that this time it pointed to something worthwhile?
- tkahn6 16y agoUh, yes. If this wasn't the case then 'marketing' wouldn't be a skill.
- thenbrent 16y agoI was trying to support reasonable use of editorial. I was not supporting "linkbait" editorial. There is a big difference. The poster referenced a piece of the article. He/she did no use gratuitous link bait like "* * * TOP 5 DOMAIN CHOOSING TIPS [vid] * * * ". It's unfair to treat them like they did just because they changed the title.
