Key Tips For Getting
Lots of Article Click Thrus
It's a no-brainer that in order to get people to your site,
they need to click on your link at the bottom of your article first. But before that, they need to read your article. So let's back up here and look at the 3 most
important things your article needs to have in order to get lots of click
thrus.
A great headline.
An interesting opening paragraph.
A compelling call to action.
To put it another way, you want a great headline that will
interest a person enough to want to read your article. Then you need a good first paragraph that
entices the reader to really read the article.
Lastly, you need to flow into a compelling bio call to action that makes
the reader want to click your link.
A great headline.
Certainly you should include your keywords in the title to
help search engine traffic find your article, but your headline, or your title,
should be more than that. The title's
other important job is to get people interested in reading the article.
Think about making the title eye-catching, humorous, emotionally appealing,
curiosity-arousing, attention-getting, a bit outrageous, and certainly NOT
boring. And use trigger words in your
headline: how to, question, tips,
numbers, story, the benefit, secret, the truth, the cure for, or mistakes.
An
interesting opening paragraph.
You've only
got a couple sentences, at most, to really get the reader's attention before
he's lost interest and has moved on. So
when writing the article you'll probably want to spend most of your time on
this.
If you want
good examples of opening paragraphs, just read the newspaper. You'll notice
each newspaper story uses a technique to entice the reader. They might make an outrageous claim, stir up
some controversy, hit our hot buttons, use a scare tactic, predict the future,
or use some similar technique that draws us in.
That's what you want to do with your article.
A compelling call to action.
When you
write your bio, you should always include a call to action. Don't give them details about you and include
your website. Ask them to come to your
site by offering something they value for free.
What do they value? What would
motivate them to click thru to your site?
Perhaps you can give information away for free that other marketers are
selling. Make it clear, easy, and
irresistible.
Take a look
at other successful article marketers' bios to get some examples of what
works. If you visit EzineArticles, check
out some of the articles that interest you and examine which bios make you want
to click thru.
Last but not
least, test your bio. Sometimes you need
more creative wording, or sometimes a better offer, but you won't know until
you test.
The more
articles you write with purpose, the better you'll get at it. Concentrating on these three areas; the
title, opening paragraph and bio, whenever you write an article should help
your article click thru rates increase.
