One trick from some major media sites (such as CNN). They keep changing the title of the same article to make it look like it's a new one a few times a day. You may learn what style of title may give the highest click rate, given the same

It seems YC's scalability issue is their pain point. If anyone of you can apply with a startup to solve this pain point, you will be THE startup to rule them all!

So the moral of the story is: if you are a first timer, do it in SV. Once you make enough connections from SV, do it in Canada.
