• This is a guest post from THE authority of buzz marketing, the pied piper of the "Killer Bunnies" Dean Hunt from DeanHunt.com - You have been warned, buzz is imminent. Read on...

    Hands up if you spotted the intentional spelling error in the title of this blog post?

    From tests I did with this exact headline using friends, contacts and family as guinea pigs, only 20% of them spotted the error first time.

    You are probably thinking, “But Dean, who cares about a little spelling mistake? Move on!”

    Here is the thing… each day I am receiving more and more emails than ever before, thanks to sites like Digg.com and Stumbleupon.com I am reading more web content than ever before, and thanks to YouTube, I am watching more videos of monkeys falling out of trees than ever before.

    Have a look at this sign:

    Did you read “I love Paris in the springtime”?

    If so, you are wrong, go back and read it again… (Answer below)

    Did you know that the average 21 year old today has spent 10,000 hours playing video games? Also, they have sent/received an average of 250,000 emails and instant messages.

    In fact, the number of text messages sent in a single day, exceeds the population of the entire planet.

    It is also estimated that a week’s worth of New York Times contains more information than a person was likely to come across in an entire lifetime in the 18th century.

    Please count the “Fs” in the following piece of text.

    FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
    SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
    FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
    THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

    If you answer was 3 or 4 then you are wrong, go back and try again (answer below)

    Yes, there is no doubt about it, we are well and truly in the attention age, our attention is being poked, prodded and flicked from all angles, one man is going to lead us kicking and screaming through this battle… nay… this war.

    That man is Rich Schefren.

    The time has come for us to adapt to this new age, the time has come for all bloggers, webmasters and Internet business owners to create quality content that will stand out from the crowd and grab our attention.

    Over the following weeks myself and Rich will be delivering tips, secrets and advice to make your content stand out from the other billions of web pages on the net. Everything will be shared from killer headlines to psychological hooks to keep your readers gripped.

    Stay Tuned.

    Dean Hunt

    PS: It actually reads “I love Paris in the the Springtime”

    PPS: There are 6 “Fs”, not 3 and not 4. But most native English speakers will simply glance past them, and in some cases will simply not be able to see them at all.
