Capture Your Readers With A Tantalizing Web Posting

By Don Bethune

The primary goal of a blog is to persuade your visitors to read the contents. As the internet is flooded with blogs on any topic that anyone can imagine, it is really a hard job to keep the attention of the visitors.

People who read a large number of blog sites have developed different methods to filter so many blog websites asking for their attention. Blog readers have learned to visually scan for hot topics, points or special information that would indicate a blog really is worth their time to read. You must always think how you are are presenting your blog in the very first few seconds in order to make the person pause and read your entire blog. Consider these ways to improve your blog's chances of being read.

Throw text fireworks in the air to get the blog reader to learn more through attention getting headlines: Clearly emphasize through font control key points that will show that you have relevant information to share. Showing such care of critical thoughts will give the reader more control of reading your blog post. They can quickly concentrate on the areas of your article that they are most interested. Keep those highlighted entries highly focussed and reader attractive.

Another trick to attract visitoras attention is to keep an image at the beginning of the blog. Beautiful images keep the visitor in the page for more time and the chances are that he will attempt to read the contents also.

The Blog laser, bullet points: Condensed ideas listed with bullet points will quickly communicate your thoughts to the blog reader. Zap away the fuzzy text by sending clearly defined short points to the reader. Seeing such lists of concise information will increase your blogs reading time to be increased.

First Write the content, then the title: The title of the blog should present the full ideas in the blog and at the same time it should be catchy. So it is a good idea to first write the blog completely and then write a title for it. In this way it becomes easy to create a title that encompasses the entire theme of the blog.

Shake the readers up by being deliberately counter to the normal thought process on a particular subject. Surprise them by fulfilling the title in an unusual way. They can be surprised and pleased by following the unusual plot twists of your blog posting. Educate them by completing the thought of the title with the body of your article.

End with an open ended question: To encourage the visitors to leave their thoughts and opinions always end the blog with a thought provoking question. The user will leave more interesting writings as their comments. This way you enhance your blog with the opinions of a group of visitors attached to it. - 16747
