How to write a good title for an article
71
To get more people to read your article you have to do several things, such as using a catchy title will get more people to read your article. Most people will not read the article if the title is drab and boring. An article needs to have the title that catches attention. And if you are writing it for the web, it also has to have keywords to be picked up by the search engines so more people will see the article. Doing both of these steps will have you with page-hits that will increase exposure on the web.
Here are two examples of titles, the first one is an example of a bad title would be "My digital Camera Experience with a digital camera". A better title would be "Nikon Digital Camera -A personal experience" With the second title you have given the reader an idea of what the article is all about.
The first title rambles on a little, it has the word camera in twice which is unnecessary, and doesn't really catch the reader's attention, it has many words that just don't work. It also has filler words like "with, and my" which are not necessary in the title, you may use these words as fillers but you want to use them as little as possible. You want the title to has as few words as possible to explain the article.
As you can see with the second example title it is more of a catchy title. It gives the product name first, which will catch the reader's attention. Then it also says that the article is a personal review of the camera. The best title for the article is one that explains that you are writing an article about first hand experience of using the camera.
If you have a bad title it can keep people from reading your articles. You want you article to be as precise as possible so that you can get people to read. Make your titles clear about what your article is about while making it a slight teaser, making the reader wanting to read more about your article.
You want to add keywords to your title, choose good keywords to use. Keywords are very important on the web. The second title gives the product name. People will be more apt to search for Nikon digital camera then just generic digital camera. So if you have a product that you are writing about make sure that is in the title. The second title will attract more readers.
Your title will determine if people will take the time to actually read your article, so choose it well. A boring title will keep people from reading your article.
You want to make your titles as keyword enriched as possible, do a keyword search to find popular keywords that are part of your article. Once you find the keywords in your article, you can use them in your titles this alone will increase readership to your article. And increase page views to the article.
With the keyword filled titles, your article viewer traffic will increase.
