Want More Views For Your Articles?

5 replies
Hey guys,

Thought I would impart a tip that I use with my article marketing efforts and that is to get to know your audience BEFORE you write your title for the article.

For instance in the World of Warcraft niche there are plenty of weird and wonderful terms that relate to the game.

The main currency that you buy things with is called gold, and then you have "epic flying mounts" they are basically like flying dragons in the game. (God, I need to get off the computer.:p)

My point is if you get to know your audience or target market you can get a better CTR on your articles.

Taking the above example look at the difference:

"How to make gold in World of Warcraft?"

or

"How to make gold in World of Warcraft? - Get That Camel Mount Fast!"

The second one relates to a mount in the game and you would get far more views.

As a side note - you can also rank for long tail phrases well!

Imagine if you wrote an article like that for all of the best things in wow.

How to get the camel mount in wow?

1 result in quotes!

"wow camel mount" - 4,400 searches a month.

About 146 a day and 1,660 results in quotes.

Hope that helps some of you.

All the best

Chris

    i agree that long tail keywords can sometimes be better just due to the fact that people know exactly what they want!

      FWIW there are some decent fiverr gigs to get viewers to your articles to get quick search ranking juice.

    Yes to prove the point I went ahead and updated my WOW blog to see how quickly i could rank for this keyword.

    Got on Page 2 of Google in under 30 mins!

    How To Get Camel In WOW

    There are also a few syndicated articles rising as well.

    Not bad for 20 mins work!

    I will let you guys know how the keyword actually performs that will be the REAL test!

    thanks,

    my best articles are use curiosity...get them to click...if you can do that you won half of the battle.

    I also have much success with articles with titles such as

    "top ten reasons....."

    "Top 10 Ways To...."

    "Top 10 Techniques..."

    etc etc....just trail that and you will get more views and more clicks to your site hopefully.
