If you are a bloger or an online editor or content contributer I’m sure you had this dream.  You write a killer peice of content, or create a killer online video.  You submit your site’s link for the killer article or peice of video to Digg (or any other social news or sharing website) and poof, you hit the front page, your content is featured, your getting so much freaken traffic that your site goes down from all the traffic ;)  Oh and you get lots of new readers to your site of course, generate more income either from ads or whatever you are selling on your site, and live happily every after

Now back to reality, it probably hasn’t happened yet.  You have probably wrote many articles that you thought were killer peices of content, or made awesome kick-butt videos.  Yeh they never got the traffic you thought they deserved.  How come?

Well maybe your content is great but I’m guessing your Headline stinked.  Yes this is a problem I noticed even with my content.  Which is why as I’m learning about headlines from copyblogger I wanted to share my notes and findings with you.

Writing that Killer Headline, start taking mental notes, or even better bookmark this list and come back to review:

• Usually 8 out of 10 people will read your content’s headline first and if their attention isn’t hooked they are off to the next site.  This is especially true for Stumble upon users, and others on social news websites.
• Start with the headline first.  Your headline should attract the reader by communicating what they’ll get out of reading or viewing it.  Writing your headline first will also help you stay focused when you write your post or make your video.
• Target keywords in your headline and content.  Don’t target the most popular keywords, target the variations instead.  These don’t have as much competition and will get you ranking high on the search engine in different smaller niches.
• How To type of articles are the best for hitting digg’s and del.icio.us front pages.  People want useful information.  Start your headline with “How To”.
• Your headline should be all about the benefits.  Everyone is busy.  As they are browsing the net they want to know the short and sweet end result before investing any more time in your content.  If the benefits are attractive, the browser’s attention is hooked and he becomes a loyal reader.  After the “How To” you gotta focus on one or two benefits. If you can link the two benefits it’s even better. A famous headline is “How to win friends and influence people”.  A few more are….
  • How to Save Time and Get Things Done
  • How to Get a Better Job and Make More Money
  • How to Save Money and Retire Rich
• Quick way to come up with such a headline is to use this formula.  How to [some boring task] That [Rewarding attention hooking benefit]
• Another formula that works is leaving out the to portion.  How [I got or to get] [an awesome benefit the reader probably wants].  Like “How I ranked in Google’s top 10 results from Day 1″.  This actually is true, my latest niche blog ranked #9 out of 3.5 million related sites in Google search results the first day it was indexed by Google bot.  Leave me a comment if you’d like to find out how.  If there is enough interest I will share my secrets
• List posts get attention.  The bigger the list the better.  10 reasons… 20 tips to… 10 steps to …

Maybe you are a blogger.  Or maybe you have your own personal site that you want to promote, and get more traffic for.  The following Tips will help you get more search engine results for your website.  They will also teach you how to get backlinks to your site.  In other words get other websites linking to yours.  These will raise your search engine ranking, and bring you lots of good traffic also.  Here are the tips:

1. Submit Your Site to Google. Visit google webmaster tools, login with your google account, add your site and verify it.  After verifying site, it will usually take a week for google to crawl your site.  Check the diagnostics section for google’s crawling results.
2. Submit Your Site to Yahoo.  Visit Yahoo to Submit Your Site.  Add Your Site.  Authenticate Your Site. It takes Yahoo a little longer than google to verify that you own the site, usually a day or two.  After authentication it takes Yahoo another 7 days to start crawling your website.
3. Submit Your Site to MSN. Go to MSN Webmaster. Sign in with Your MSN account. Add Your site.  Upload XML file provided to you by MSN to verify your site.
4. Add Your Website to Web Directories. This will help you get lots of backlinks.  Backlinks increase your search engine ranking.  Visit The Strongest Links which lists lots of web directories you can submit your site to.   Read these common web directory submission mistakes.  With many of the directories you have to dig down into their categories before you’ll see a “Submit URL” or “Submit Your Site” link.
5. Get Backlinks from Similar Sites
   Step 1 - Build List of a few keywords that you think users will search for to access your site.

   Step 2 - Also think of related terms and keywords that users might alternatively use when searching for your site.

   Step 3 - Search google for your terms or keywords.  Note url’s of those sites.  Visit each one of those sites.  Use Firefox SEO plugin to learn more about each site.  Find contact information for each site owner.  You can usually find this in the contact page.  If you can’t find the contact information on the page enter the website’s url in a whois site.  If you can find a phone number in the whois site, it’s best to call rather than email.  Calling is much more dependable.

   Step 4 - To get site to link to you it’s better to get a one-way link: A link from their site to yours without your site linking back to theirs.  Sometimes the only way to get a link is to pay for it.  If that’s the case then try to pay for a permanent link and have them sign a contract.  Most websites will give you a permanent link for $50.  If you don’t or cant pay for a one-way link, then do a link exchange where both your site and theirs link to each other.

   If you want to get a one way link for free from another site, here is how to do it.  You must create a friendship with the webmaster.  Write an introductory email, build a friendship before asking for link.  Another way to do it is to contact webmaster in a very honest direct way including your link in your email.  The best way is to call webmaster and talk to them in person.  It’s much harder for people to say no on the phone.  Let them know that you enjoy their site, value it, tell them about yourself, how you can help their site, maybe by writing content (that their site is currently missing and would be helpful).

   When getting a back link, try to get a deep back link.  Instead of just linking to your homepage, try to get links to deep portions of your website.  This helps the search engine make other sections of your website more popular and give them a higher rank.

   Also when getting a back link, try to get the webmaster to put a phrase or keyword that you want to rank for in your anchor text.  Make sure to change the anchor text for different backlinks.  If you don’t and Google sees that you got a 1000 backlinks with the same anchor text they might think you are spamming.
