Is this article a lost cause?
- Beth Eaglescliffeposted 6 years ago
0Here are a few suggestions.
Images
The first picture doesn't relate to the title. How about a close-up of an injury that would need the first aid kit?
Thumbnails. I would delete the first thumbnail picture and then use the second two pictures as full sized images to break up the text into smaller chunks.
Content
Move the '3 Tips' paragraph to the top. That way readers with short attention spans have their question answered right away.
At the end of your article you say that "some people may not know how to use poison ivy soap, or what exactly moleskin is and how to use it properly." I'm one of those people.
It would be helpful if you included a few paragraphs explaining these things.

Are having a search-friendly title and using keywords the same thing?
It seems to me they are. You find out what's searched on the Internet and put it in the title of your article. But it seems to me, some of it is just logic; What will someone likely type into the search engine? No one is going to search for "how to pay attention instead of getting wrapped up...
