After reading this article a few days ago, I wrote an article using your guidelines. I submitted it to Ezinearticles.com shortly after two other articles written before reading your blogpost. The article using your guidelines had five to ten times the traffic (must be because of clickthroughs on the title!) and the bio box had a 6.8% url clickthrough rate, as opposed to 4.2% and 0%! Still room for improvement, but yes, there has definitely been a big difference in performance. Good information! I'm sure I'll be able to improve this further by tweaking as I write more articles. I've got one article in review there now, that was written after re-reading this blogpost and reviewing the stats I just quoted. Maybe the couple more nuggets of wisdom I applied this time will push those stats up further on this new article. Thank you! I’m one of the OWM kindergarten group.

We started off in a very positive vibe.....and wasn't working. When it was changed to a "warning" sort of vibe - all of the content converted at an exponentially better rate. So - the "pain points" were a much more effective way to sort of induce this particular demographic to engage with the content - and that's actually a pretty common thing. (and contrary to sort of slimy approaches to using "pain" to get people to make a positive change - I tried to also articulate how you can try to "scare" people into making ethical improvements to boot) Also - as I've pointed out to a few people earlier today via email - some of the recommendations in that article marketing "convert like crazy" post are a bit dated - some things have changed policy wise on the directories since I wrote that 18 months or so ago......and it's simply not my habit to revise posts retrospectively - but the newer content on here since I believe is much superior strategically! :-) Hi Elisabeth – Thanks – and because I’m a hopeless insomniac and still awake at 330 am – and cant watch any more Encore movie re-runs, I’m going to try to answer this now..:-)

Also – as I’ve pointed out to a few people earlier today via email – some of the recommendations in that article marketing “convert like crazy” post are a bit dated – some things have changed policy wise on the directories since I wrote that 18 months or so ago……and it’s simply not my habit to revise posts retrospectively – but the newer content on here since I believe is much superior strategically!

Especially when combined with the keyword up front ;-) They certainly will help me crank up my article "production" by streamlining the creative process... One question: you mention this ONE article that really increased your click-throughs, but you don't go into any specifics. I was kind of hoping to get details! Or is that they kind of article you're describing in your post/article on how to rapidly write articles that convert like crazy? Which would make sense, but I'm always looking for newer and better info Thanks. Elisabeth Hi Ian,

The article above was written close to 2 years ago ( I believe in March of 08) and my own approach has evolved since then. (the *rules* are actually a bit different as well - as there are now limits on the resource box relative to article content, amount of links, and some other stuff as well) So - I agree with you - and there are suggestions that are seemingly at odds with each other - and this is one of them! (my favorite approach to articles for offsite directory submissions remains using the keywords up front - and asking a question that uses some permutation of my primary keywords on the backside of the article as well as I find for my own purposes, it works well) But for other people who have trouble creating titles that are a bit more compelling than average - I think this template is a good start for ideas and inspiration. (if not - it's okay too!) Hi Patrick – it’s a good question – and the simplest answer is that you have to try more than one approach.

In the article "How To Write Articles that Convert Like Crazy" you propose to put your keyword right in the beginning of the title and NOT to use "how to" or similar in the first few words, and here you claim the opposite... So how should I do it? ;-) Hi,

thanks for all the work, but I don’t completely understand what you are saying…
