I can't stress the importance of your article title.
If it isn't captivating enough, people aren't going to bother reading the article.
So how can we get the most out of our article titles, especially if we're writing a number of articles on one subject? I've found that one great way to do this is with what I call combined titles or a main and sub title combined.
I'm going to go over this technique in this article.
I hope you find it helpful.
If you take a look at the actual title of this article, you will notice that I have used this technique with it.
The main title of my article is "Article Writing Tips.
" This tells the reader that the article that they're about to read is going to have something to do with tips on how to write articles.
This is obvious enough.
But that title alone is very generic.
Aside from that, you can only use it one time if you're submitting articles to directories.
What do you do if you want to submit many articles on one subject? That's where the sub title comes in.
If you take a look at the second part of my title, the one after they hyphen, you'll see it says, "Getting The Most Out Of Your Titles.
" This more specifically tells the potential reader that the tips they're about to read after to do with the title of their article.
This way, they can then decide if this is something regarding article writing that they're interested in.
If you do your research correctly to determine what people ARE interested in when looking for info on article writing, this should never be a problem.
I have yet to have an article that wasn't read by a number of people.
The key to using this technique is simple.
Always keep the first part of your title very generic.
For example, let's say you were writing tips on running a home business.
You might make the first part of your title, "Home Business Tips.
" This tells the reader that the article they're about to read will have something to do with running a home business.
The second part of the title might be something like, "How To Get Organized.
" This tells the reader that the tips specifically deal with organization.
Naturally, you will want the main title to include the main keyword phrase that you're targeting.
This will help you get a better search engine placement.
If you can combine this with a secondary keyword phrase in the second part of your title, this will get you an even better placement.
By using this technique, you should never have a problem coming up with an effective article title that gets people reading and the search engines loving.
To YOUR Success, Steven Wagenheim
