I saw this on here last year, but I haven't seen it around yet this year, so I thought I'd post it for all you lovely people.

Basically you put in a few details about your title and it works out the chances of that book becoming a bestseller, using just the title.

Mine, (Mercy Bound) got 38% but I'm not changing it. Because I'm stubborn like that.

Mine (Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves) got 34 point something. So I'm not going to sweat it.

Oo-er. My title, "Licking the walls" got 20%.

Maybe it doesn't do so well with weirdness. :/

Concentrate on the front cover picture. Everyone knows the first thing that grabs a reader's attention is the front cover. Which makes me want to write a book with the title: Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover with a really awsome front cover and the foreword to read: You judged it, didn't you? (insert accusitory look here). 'Cause I'm feeling wacky and stuff.

Oh no! Procrastination here I come. This website is awesome. Thanks for the link!

My first title got a 41.4%. The next 2 both received 68%.

Okay. Anything You Can Do ... got a 31.7%. Maybe the site just doesn't like sections of popular idioms. Or maybe it was a bad idea. It's kinda hard to tell.

Start it with The or A and it's more likely to get a higher score... just saying.

Somehow I think changing mine to "The Licking of Walls" would be weird.

Sweet, 72.5% :D I think the best thing is that I even *have* a title for this year, to be honest.

I have no idea what sort of "grammar type" my title is. I always, always sucked as grammar. I said it was a "Grammatically complete phrase" and got 44.2% but when I said it was a "Other phrase with verb (not grammatically complete)" it got 79.6% *shrugs*

If you tell it your title is figurative, it goes up by almost 30%.

Lupus753

What do you know. I said my title was figurative (which, come to think of it, I should have done in the first place) and said it began with a pronoun and the score shot up to 76.9%. I have no idea what methods this program uses.

The title Absolution has a 59.3% chance of being a bestselling title!

Yep it was 32% when I changed it to literal.

Also, I had a hard time deciding if it was literal or figurative :/ I'm guessing figurative.

And that's silly seeing as the examples for literal are much better-selling books.

Contact Binary = 69.0%

Frankenstein7272

Mine only got 10.2%. But, It is the only title I can think of for my story. And it fits perfect. So, I don't care.

'When Demons Die' = 10.2%
