Increase Your Website Traffic With These 2 Simple Secrets!
June 10th, 2008 by Hunter
A well written headline will give a reader a reason to chose your article over someone else’s. A good headline provokes the readers attention and teases their curiosity. Here’s how you can increase your website traffic, using these two simple secrets. You can write a catchy headline by:
1) The use of trigger words:
- secret
- discover
- important
- never before seen
- amazing
- incredible
- unbelievable
- shocking truth
- how to
2) Asking a question:
- Is it possible to…
- Have you seen…
- Why does…
- When is…
- Who is…
- What you don’t know about…
- Can you really…etc
Avoid writing headlines like these (actual article headlines taken from ezinedirectory.com):
- “Fiberglass Speaker Boxes”
- “Internet Usage”
- “Essentials of Broadband Routers”
- “Legalities of Pollution”
- “Innovative Floor Tile Ideas”
Instead, write headlines like these:
- “Are Fiber Glass Speaker Boxes Really Worth The Money?”
- “The Shocking Truth Behind Internet Usage!”
- “What You Don’t Know About Broadband Routers”
- “What Are The Legalities Of Pollution?”
- “Have You Seen These Innovative Floor Tile Ideas?”
What headlines would get your attention?
Once you have succeeded in getting readers for your articles you then need to get the all important click
thru to your website. This is very easy to do. Instead of submitting the entire article to the directories, split the article in two and submit only a portion of the article.
In the resource box you would then write something like, “Part 2 of this article can be found at “www.yourblog.com” or “To view the rest of this article please visit: “www.yourblog.com.”
Using a tagline like this instead of the usual tag line practically forces the readers of your articles to click thru to your site.
A tip on article splitting….
You want to split the article at a point that will entice readers to read the rest of your article.
You can do this by going through the article and finding what you believe to be the most interesting or informative part and retaining that portion on your blog.
For example, suppose you had written the article above on innovative floor tile ideas.
In order to split the article you could divide the ideas into a list and retain the top 5 or 10 ideas on your website. Then you could write a tag line in your resource box like:
“For the top 5 innovative floor tile ideas please visit www.yourblog.com.”
Conclusion
The bottom line is that traffic is the key to your success, and as website owner there are many different ways you can create a flood of free traffic. If you can create quality articles in a flash you can just as easily create a stream of traffic to your website.
