You should be careful about headlines.
It's pretty easy to write a headline that will get someone to forgive your spam, and perhaps even to open your note (CyberMonday! 85% off...). It's pretty easy to write a headline that will get someone to click through on their RSS reader. It's even easy to write a tweet that will get a click through.

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
