Does this blog's title make me sound easy?
I recall how I came up with the title 'Seduction Central.' I liked the alliterative touch. The blog attracts readers trying to seduce Scorpio men, so the title is apt.
But 'Seduction Central' sounds like one of those websites where you pay $99 to learn how to pick up women in three easy steps. Some serious, sober astrologers whom I respect won't link to this blog because it has a cheesy name (Lunar Tunes doesn't?). However, I still like the name. It's kinda provocative, no?

The only problem is that from the name of the blog no one can get an impression that the mainframe is astrology.
I don't really remember what I thought about the name, other that it's pretty clever (this applies to Lunar Tunes too, though I like that one better, probably cause of my love to my best buddy, The Moon).
I don't think that you should change the name. Neither.
I think I found this blog by following links. I wasn't sure if the subject matter would be astrological in nature, but the name was so intriguing that I clicked on it anyway.
If you like alliteration:
1. Astro Amour
2. Astro Attraction
3. Aspect Attractions
4. Signs of Seduction (or Seduction Signs?)
5. Celestial Seduction
Seduction Central is a good name.
I had no idea what to expect. I only knew it was about astrology because of a link.
I like the name.
I have to admit,speaking just for me, Seduction Central is not a good name.
It doesn't sound serious.I would not have even looked myself, normally.
I don't know how I got here, but when I did, I saw it was truly -astrology, not how-to-seduce all the- men(women)- you want -now type of thing--I saw *you* were bright, and thoughtful, so I stayed.
I would not have liked this name so much when I was young and single, either, although I might have *said*something like it myself kidding around.
Now, for other personal reasons, I think I would prefer another name.
I know it's clever yes.
And,Lunar Tunes is funny, and cute--it somehow sounds like a cartoon, but it doesn't conjure up a phone sex-line,similar to what you said yourself.
I mean *no* offense--- you, and your information, are both very good.
I'm probably the only one here who feels that way about the blog's name too--but, you asked.
So, I told. :-/
The name is sort of misleading.
I got on this page by searching for sign compatibility and the search results brought one of this blog entries to me.
I had no doubts it was about astrology, since the blog-entries obviously are. I would however have been misled by the blog's name if I didn't know about the content beforehand.
It's indeed a name that would have been associated with dating tricks and so on and so forth.
I also imagine this blog to get a lot of first-time visitors who were searching for the mentioned dating and hookup-tricks, and instead found themselves staring at astrological explanations and charts.
If anything, the name is associated with love/romance/sex/dating first, in my opinion. Seduction Central is however somewhat centered around that, only it's also a serious astrological blog.
As Exclusion.Blue mentioned, there is nothing in the name that pinpoints the fact that the blog is extending it's roots within astrology.
I can't think of any other name for Seduction Central, I'm far too used to this one. I guess no matter what one chooses, it will still be somehow cheesy in order to be catchy, nay?
I got here from your old Astrology in the movies webpage. I didn't think twice about the name since I already figured it was about astrology. I think it's a good name, it's not raunchy, it's a wee bit suggestive but it's not VULGAR and if I had gotten here via another reputable astrology blog who had set it up as astrology link, I would assume that it was about love and astrology. Now, if the name were something like "astroboingin'" or "sex-o-zodiac" or "celestial carnal knowledge" or... okay, you get the idea. In that case, I'd be the first to tell you, dude, you have gone TOO far.
I second what "exclusion.blue" said.
I came to this site from your BlogLog so I was provided with the screenshot. Besides, I've also perused your Lunar Tunes so if it has your name on it, then it should be astrological. =P
But again, like exclusion blue said, others will probably be misguided by the name.
Why I don't remember the first impression - I've probably found you by a very well phrased (optimized) Google search, therefore on the search results page I only looked at the text bellow, not on the link's tittles :o)
Thanks for all your feedback. Maybe I'll change it to 'Astroboingin.'
Eme, Jeff, LOLOL
"ASTROBOINGING"
:-P
now that's classy, I tell you what.LOL
I like the name, but I confess I found it by searching "gemini compatibility scorpio" or something so the name was secondary. I am not going to second guess a person's web site name, but if you change the feeds, do post about it so we can all change the rss in our aggregators. :)
Rest assured, I don't think I'm going to change the title, and I certainly wouldn't want to inconvenience my feed readers. (I'm glad just to hear someone mention 'RSS' here.)
I think it's a great name. It made me think...
Seduction is about subtlety.
I think it's great that you're trying to explore complexities and dilemmas in the human psyche, on a deeper level. It's refreshing to get away from the oh-so obvious, crass sexual stereotyping and soundbites.
By the way, I love the blogs and the way it's set up. Very intelligent and thought-provoking.

I found your link on another astrology site, so when i cam across it, I knew it was going to be a lot more than just dating tips etc, etc. The title of the blog didn't surprise me, as I am reading a lot on subtleties, non-verbal language, astrology, tarot, jungian stuff; I also dance flamenco and Middle Eastern dance, so emotions, feelings, decoding and relating to the audience/people help with relating and communicating
I enjoy reading the analyis of a chart; apart from the fact that it is fascinating, it also helps me, get to grips with understanding astrology a lot better.
I think you should keep the name as it is. It has an air of mystery to it, and as one the commentators, eme kah, said ( i thoroughly agree with them) it 's not vulgar. M'mm, classy, subtle and leave syou thinking.
