There are no hard or fast rules to this subject and it is not really defined clearly whether one should or should not. Repeating the title of a Helium article or, indeed, any article you have submitted to a magazine - or an On-line writing site could be classed as a good move to make. By repeating the title one is qualifying and making a kind of statement of intent that your article will give the information needed and that the readers want.

This article is written on the 'yes' side of the argument, but it could have so easily been written for the 'no' side. So, you see, when it comes to titles, there really are no hard or fast rules that one should rely on. The writer has to go by his or her own judgement and then take it from there.

When it comes to writing there is a lot of snobbery involved. Some writers categorically state that they, under no circumstances, repeat the title of an article. While that may be the case for them there are others that also insists that they repeat the title of the article to give it that added impetus and boost.

Of course writing the title or not makes it immaterial whether an article will ultimately succeed On-line, or within traditional published magazines. There are many writers however, who have a personal choice. Some may feel that repeating the title gives the impression of a more polished professional look. It gives the impression that the article means business and intends to deliver, on all counts.

On the other side of the fence are those writers who may feel that repeating the title is unnecessary as it uses up priceless space for words that could otherwise be there.. These are those that may feel that repeating the title of an article leaves their work looking amateurish at best, and downright unprofessional at worst.

But whether one chooses to repeat the title or not, the fact remains that the only sure fire way your article will succeed, is if it is written with an original and interesting slant. It is a subject that people want to read about, and that it is written in an informative way. So whether an article is written with or without the title the fact remains that there will always be arguments raging over this subject for many many years to come.
