Tips to write Killer Articles

by Admin on February 7, 2009

Many of us wonder what to be done to attract high quality traffic. The most important is, ofcourse, writing attractive articles which can make your site famous and ultimately increase site visitors. So, i will mention tips to write traffic increasing blog articles.

1. Good knowledge and research:

If you want to write an informative article, the first and foremost thing is good knowledge about article topic. So, select your article topic such that you can provide a fair good amount of knowledge to your readers from the article. I don’t say that you should be genius about the topic…but should have fair knowledge. This is also important as you have to answer queries raised by site visitors. You can use Google to achieve required knowledge. This is research part.

2. New content:

This is the crucial and i personally feel, the most important for any article to become killer and famous. Why?… I’ll tell you. If you have new informative content, site visitors would readily share it over various social networks and directories, making your site famous. Thus, it is new content that is important. New content implies you can even add your own experiences in your articles

3. Language:

Keep your article language reader friendly. I found this as one of main secrets of many successful bloggers. Just read any article at say “Problogger” , it is the Darren’s language that makes the article so captivating. Also, avoid slangs and sensitive words in your articles. Also, test out your spelling mistakes. This matters a lot as lot of spelling mistakes brings frustration and thus leads to failure of our goal. I accept, that even i am a bit weak at this.

4. Use lists:

Using lists in your articles helps reader to easily scan your articles. This not only saves time but also makes it readable.

5. Develop your own addicting style:

If you will succeed at this, i will say your sitemeter will be bombarded by thousands of hits each day. Develop your own style of writing articles which will make your readers addict and force them to return to your site again. This will help you in building loyal readership. But, take care that this style will give joy to readers. This usually is achieved as time passes and your experience in blogging grows. I recommend you to read various articles written by Darren at Problogger. I have even achieved my style by following and researching his style.

6. Be positive and hopeful:

This thing, i found, not considered by many bloggers. While reading the articles, always focus on positive aspects. I mean, give your readers a feeling of hope and positiveness while they reading your articles. Let them feel inspired while or after reading your blog posts.

7. Add your personal experiences:

I have mentioned this in second tip as well. Mentioning your personal experience helps in removing an alien/stranger gap between reader and the writer. This helped me a lot in achieving good readers cum friends. But, while adding your experience, just remember that this personal experience will be used by your readers to evaluate your persona. So, be careful.

8. Don’t include all information:

This may sound to be contradicting. Right? But, this is important to attract visitor interest in your article. Ask your visitors to share their views and tips by commenting. Now, if you have included all tips in article, there will not be any comments as visitors find their tips mentioned in article itself. Thus, their personal involvement decreases. So, leaving out simple points/tips helps in increasing comments and visitors involvement.

So, thats it. As said above, if you have your own views about killer articles, please mention it over here. I hope you find this article useful in writing a killer article.

Happy Blogging.
