Are You Sure That Your Articles Are Being Read?


Coming up with the most effective headline or title isn't necessarily the easiest part when writing your articles. In fact, in the real world, the success or failure of whether something is read, is mainly down to the words used in the headline or title. Many people reading digital text will only scan the headline and then decide whether the article is interesting enough to be worth spending their time reading.

Even in social networking sites, using catchy headlines is the best way to invite people to visit your pages. If you say the right things in your titles, you can inspire your friends or encourage your followers to either like your post, click on your link or re-tweet it. If your title or headline is uninspiring, you can fail in your effort to make an impression at all.

The same is true when it comes to all written material, whether it's books, newspapers or blog posts.

A book needs a strong title for it to be taken from the bookshelf and be explored further. E-books have an even tougher job competing for attention. These rely heavily on their titles and customer reviews.

When reporting current affairs, headlines are designed to capture the very essence of a story. This is what will entice the reader to find out more about the story. The main body of the text should then be interesting enough to rouse the readers' interest and curiosity so that they will not turn to the next page.

Unfortunately, many bloggers and article writers will spend time and effort writing excellent articles, only to fail in creating the kind of headlines that will actually draw the reader's attention in the first place.

Using questions and statements which benefit the reader in your title are a good way to attract your reader's attention. Did you notice the question used in the title of this article? Maybe it was what drew you in to read further. I hope so.

It is also essential that the keywords and key phrases for your article are included in your title as well as the main body of your text.

One of the most tried and tested methods in ensuring that your product headlines effectively reach your audience is to make sure that your article is found by the search engines. By optimizing your keywords, this will certainly help the search engines to find your article.

Lastly, aside from effective titles and headlines, it is also crucial that the articles which you publish are of the utmost value to the person who chooses to read them.
