I'm not convinced. Here is my test run: "Big cats eat mice Noone knows why 100x improvement"

Your Headline's EMV Score:

33.33%

This score indicates that your headline has a total of 33.33% Emotional Marketing Value (EMV) Words. To put that in perspective, the English language contains approximately 20% EMV words.

And for comparison, most professional copywriters' headlines will have 30%-40% EMV Words in their headlines, while the most gifted copywriters will have 50%-75% EMV words in headlines.

A perfect score would be 100%, but that is rare unless your headline is less than five words.

While the overall EMV score for your headline is 33.33%, your headline also has the following predominant emotion classification:

Spiritual

Your headline carries words that have a predominantly Spiritual appeal. Words that resonate with Spiritual impact are the smallest number of words in the language. AMI research has found that Spiritual impact words carry the strongest potential for influence and often appeal to people at a very deep emotional level.

Words with Spiritual impact are best used with people and businesses desiring to make an appeal to some aspect of spirituality. This does not mean religion specifically, but any product or service that resonates with “spirituality” oriented markets are appropriate. The clergy, new age, health food and related markets all respond favorably to sales copy heavy with Spiritual impact content. Women and children also respond strongly to words in the Spiritual sphere. Marketing documents with strong Spiritual impact content can make for the most powerful presentations in the marketplace but must be used with considerable skill.

Would also be great if it refreshes automatically. Over time I am sure you can also create an algorithm to predict the fluctuations in surge pricing. For example, you can get my address and then tell me how likely is it for surge pricing to die down based on historical data and predictions.

curiouscats- Just curious, what course are you taking on Coursera thats experiencing similar issues?

I was wondering how 'scaling' Coursera model would affect them. QA becomes very critical once you associate top university brands to the courses that are offered. I hope Coursera will learn from this and really evaluate every course before going online.

The idea is to inspire people by showing how you can gain skills informally. Individuals featured on the front were either college dropouts and/or achieved their goals via informal education.

We will be adding quotes from them, videos with them and also will be highlighting others in the industry that have achieved their dreams by constantly learning.

Its not an ad play, but instead a way to just inspire. After all, we all seek mentors and get inspired by great stories.
