Absolutely writing style has everything to do with it when you are in front of your targeted lead. When people click or search and you are there is the easy part, the hardest part is keeping them engaged.

Remember People buy on emotions and justify with logic.

There's no way we can tell what made the difference just from you saying that - we'd have to see the articles to have any clue what changed.

I've recently seen a similar thing, but my writing style didn't change much - I just wrote about a subject that people seem much more interested in finding out more about.

You are measuring the wrong stats...

CTR is only a measure of clicks from article to destination page. Meaningless without conversions, sales, leads etc.

The stuff you really want to be measuring is conversions on your destination page.

imho, of course

AGREED! Make sure that once they get to your site they are converting! then you will know if 65% is good enough or not!

Yes this CTR is great - not just good but great.

But, as others have already said, you need to pull in useful traffic. In other words, people will go to your site from the article not to read the part 2 of your article, but to really seek more information, potentially actionable, so that they can use the information to their benefits.

The moment you achive this, you *may* have a career of a high-earning article marketer ahead.

Deffo to your writing style. When I started out I was getting 2-3% then I changed my writing and turned it into 20 - 25%. To me to go from 25% - 60% as astounding. Just like breakdance I'd love to here your thoughts on how you do it.

65%???? God damn it... It's a good thing articles aren't the best part of my business or I'd be crying right now. :p I could definitely hear your thoughts on CTR. Also, I made a switch to GoArticles a while ago, but I'm now going for EZA again. I had a problem with the Resource Box and writing more than 2-3 sentences. You know if they've changed it back or not?

I think you are just bragging! LOL! I am kidding of course. That is a wonderful click through rate.

How are your actual conversions? If they are up like your CTR then I am shocked!

If that is the case, you need to come out with a WSO on your style and how you do it. I would be your first customer... For Sure!

I like my 19-26% CTR but if it went up I wouldn't complain. Not once!

Great job!

Deezy to be really honest, conversions are pretty average. Do you want to know the reason come closer may be you will think that I M an idiot, my conversions are still average because my presell page on my main blog is still written in my old writing style, and i haven't change it still.

You must be Probably thinking that i m the laziest guy in this world maybe I am but the fact is i am constantly studying buying psychology and self improvement, and it sucks most my time.

Regarding the WSO thing it's a great idea, but first i want to test the system fully and come with solid content that can work for anybody who gives it a try.

Please do share what you did when you get some hard tested numbers. a CTR on an article to your landing page is huge and it can make a real big difference on your business.

I feel that a high CTR on articles are really important as long as your sites CTR did not go down. If it stayed the same, that just means that you increase your traffic. Then work on the CTR of your lasning page.

I just feel you need to test each individual piece and see what comes out.

Steven I am working on currently backlinking those articles.

I am curious how CTR gets affected when the articles get ranked may be it can increase or decrease but most of the times i have noticed that since search engine traffic is more targeted CTR improves, can't say what will happen gotta wait

So I am curious whether it is because of my changed writing style or you people have noticed this sudden surge in your ctr too. I mean I am feeling so good I never expected studying psychology can improve my ctr this much.

I don't know Anoop ... 85% to 100% CTR would be better, don't you think? Seriously though, that is an excellent CTR - congrats

. You should definitely apply the same writing style changes to your landing page.

Keep up the good work!

Here's the funny thing about click thrus, though:

I'm looking at 2 articles that I submitted a couple of days ago

Article A: 12 views, 13 clicks 108% click thru
Article B: 219 views, 59 clicks 26.9 % click thru

Guess which one makes me happier?

ezine is pretty unpredictable, but i will suggest you to backlink and try to rank on 1st page for the first one since it has much higher ctr and if it is exposed to more traffic is more likely to make you more money.

Yea I think that is a great click through rate. I started learning psychology as well and trying to link it into my home business module. I recently saw an increase in my income. There is a mental process that we all go through before making a dedicated decision. Reflect back on your most recent purchase and then put yourself in the shoes of your buyer.

The clicks you get depend on the article subject.

If you're writing articles about garden furniture then you won't get much because people aren't desperate to learn more about garden chairs.

If something new has arrived on the scene that lots of people want to know about and there aren't too many websites giving information away on it - then you'll get a very high % click thru.

Just out of curiosity. On how many article views is this 65% CTR?

The reason I ask is, I have articles with 60% CTR too.

They're on 5 views.

CTR on a small number of views is meaningless.

Show me an article with 200 views and a 65% CTR and THEN I'll be impressed.

Don't know why (maybe I'm just getting cynical in my old age) but
something about this OP smells funny.

Seen similar things before and they always lead to the same thing.

I guess time will tell.

If your article only has 3 views and only 2 people click your link, that's about 66%, which is good. =)

Thats pretty good. I have some articles around that ctr as well. However the key is conversions.

The role of your article is to pre-sell the visitor to take action at the next point of destination. At this point, you should also be tracking to see what got the visitors to click thru at 65% and repeat it with more articles.

And most importantly check if there is an increase or decrease in conversions as well. If there is a decrease then you need to change up your game plan. If there is an increase then you have tapped into the "secret" of that niche that allows it to convert so well.

The key in article marketing is tracking and testing your progress. You don't want to be spinning your wheels all day when you have so much content to produce.
