The Strangest Blogging Secret
I know to drive 5x More Traffic In 24 Hours
The key to driving 5x more traffic in less than 24 hours is
“a kick-butt headline”.
What? Did you think it had something to do with having the
best-designed blog? Or writing a peace prize winning article? Or stirring up controversy? or asking favors
from friends in high places?
Well, I have a newsflash for you: It doesn’t, because it all
STARTS with a headline that draws attention from the very beginning.
Think about it. Would YOU be reading this article right now
if the title were something like, “Learn Why A Headline Will Drive You, Blog
Traffic”?
I doubt it. Heck, I know “I” wouldn’t, because, it’s empty.
And, I’m not looking forward to learning how to do anything because learning implies hard work. And, when
you’re looking to drive more traffic the last thing you’re looking for is more work to
do.
Not that writing a good headline IS hard work. It isn’t.
But, the way that title says it to you makes it unattractive regardless if it’s the truth or
not.
Anyhow -- why IS having a good headline important? Two
reasons:
1. Search Engine Rankings -- I don’t care how cool
your blog posts are, if people can’t find it on the search engine, the only person who will think it’s cool, is
you.
It’s easy. All you need to know are the keywords you are
targeting in your blog posts and put your top one or two keywords in the headline title to be picked up by
search engines.
2. It makes it interesting and raises
curiosity -- nothing makes us
squirm in our chairs more than the thought of reading a headline that suggest a “secret” or “5 simple steps” we
can use to solve our problems.
If you’re headline is injected with curiosity, intrigue, and
a promise of a benefit it will be read.
I lied to you.
I told you there was only ONE secret, but I
guess you’ll have to settle with two -- so use this to get more readers to your blog, or lock me up and throw
away the key.
