How To Write An Excellent Article Title
September 7, 2008 by Tom Lindstrom · 6 Comments
The article title is one of the most important steps in writing an article.
The title has to capture the correct audience and be descriptive without revealing to much of the content.
Simply, it has to attract readers, and motivate to click.It is up to your writing skills to lead the reader through the rest of the story, and to do what you want them to do, buying a product, signing up for a newsletter or an affiliate program or something else.
There are some basic rules that you can follow:
- 1.You need to think about who you are writing the article for.
- 2.What is the purpose of the article itself? Does it solve a problem and give answers?
- 3.Are you selling something with the article, or is it meant to educate?
- 4.What kind of article titles raise your interest and makes you want to click?
There is a lot of article marketing information on the internet that is old, miss leading and wrong.I recently discovered an excellent report that answers the following questions and so much more.
-What niches perform the best in article marketing?
-What types of articles get the most traffic?
-What titles work the best?
-What topics do people want to read about?
-How to get other sites to use your article?
It is not a typical article marketing report.My results from article marketing have become a lot better, my income has increased thanks to this report.
I recommend that you grab the report now and read it.Then use what you have learned.

3. Create a title different from your competition.
4. Use edgy words like extreme, exploding, bible, etc.
5. Enter exclamatory marks at the end of your title, or question marks.
6. Make your title straight to the point.

Hi Matthew! Thanks for commenting.
Just want to make a quick and brief comment.
As you have excellently presented, the article should be bold enough to grab attention, but that should not be the end of it but the start.
Then article should also provide useful and unique content with a call of action so that each part works in harmony all the way down up to the point that your intended goal is achieved.

You are absolutely right Tom, the title of the article helps draw people in and providing substance to the article itself will keep them coming back.
Also, don’t forget to add the all important keywords in the title as well.

Hi Tom,
I’ve found the following to be pretty effective:
1. Asking a question
2. Case Study Posts
1. If the question is interesting and thought provoking, people generally like to click to find out the answers, presumably found in your post.
2. Case studies’ posts somehow are close to everyone’s heart as everyone can definitely relate to. It always applies to them too.
