I always tell people : “Make your title tell something about what is in the paragraph”.

A title like ‘Introduction’ will not make anyone want to read a page. On the other hand, if you make a brief summary (a few word) about the big message in the paragraph, people will be attracted.

That’s what they are doing in newspaper.

Are you suggesting making the link text itself less generic or placing a short sentence/paragraph next to each item to provide a brief summary?

Either would work great. Good trigger words tell the reader what they’ll get when they click. What’s in the “discussion” portion? How is it different from the “conclusion” section?

While they do provide the headings of the article, those headings were never meant to be taken out of the context of the article. Instead, good links should provide some sort of clue to the reader as to the benefit of clicking.
