    Dear Danny,

    Please keep writing.

    Some articles will have high views and low clicks, some
    will have low views but high click percentage. Just keep
    on writing.

    If you want to improve on views, work on your titles.

    If you want to improve on clicks, your body and your
    resource box both play a part.

    Titles:
    Give a benefit in the title.

    Make the title "blind" - meaning, the reader has an idea
    what you're talking about but won't get the full idea of
    what your article is based on the title.

    For example, "Improve Your Site By Using SEO Techniques"
    versus "3 Proven Strategies To Improve Your Site's Sales"

    Resource Box:
    Give them a reason to click.

    Shannon Herod has a good simple video explaining how to
    do this:

    Neat little tip in the video... I will do some tests!!

    I am not disheartened just frustrated I am not a quitter by any means just that my income has stayed the same and doesnt seem to increase with my efforts...

    I will keep pushing on with articles and hope to see some better results!

      If you'd like to PM me the URLs for a few of your articles, I'll be happy to take a look at them. Maybe we can diagnose the problem and come up with a prescription to improve things a bit!

      @Zukario,

      That's only if you have the right strategies and you keep refining it along the way. Doing the same thing over and over again will only get you the same results.

      Realize that you need to do something different to get something different.

      @Danny,

      If you already have the views, keep changing and editing the resource boxes and test different versions of them, then choose the one with the best CTR. If done correctly, you can achieve 40-70% CTR.

      All the best.

      I don't know if it will be any help or not because I don't do article marketing but I think that the traffic you have been getting is targeted.

      It happens to me all the times on my blog. People come to my blog from Google and they just stay on my blog for some seconds and then go away. This has been making me angry and I decided to find out why this was happening. I tracked the links they came from and I was amazed to see all of these people were coming from Google. I looked deeper into that and I found out that these people were not targeted and they didn't get what they were looking for in my blog.

      For example: I am ranked #2 for

      How to make money blogging overnight

      and the people are looking for information on making money online overnight but when they come to my blog they find out that my article is totally opposing the idea of Making money overnight. Now that reader doesn't have any interest in me and he just goes back without subscribing or anything.

      I think this helped and if you need more info please PM me.

    In my experiences, an "expected CTR" changes from niche to niche. But 4 clicks in 290 views is bad of course!
