Seductive link text, using the same powerful headline writing techniques, gently entices your visitors from page to page and dramatically increases the amount of time they spend on your site or blog.

As you become aware of these techniques, you will begin to see how widely they are used in the media, including newspapers, journals and web sites.

Over the next few weeks, I will document these immensely valuable techniques online on this site with examples of their use.

Tip 1 - Headline a genuine and sincere promise of advantage or benefit to your reader from reading your article

It sounds almost too simple but promising a huge advantage or benefit to the reader in your headline is the single biggest motivator for your visitor to read on.

Imagine your reader is sitting in front of you. Ask them what are their strongest or most urgent desires or needs on the subject matter of your article.

Take their imagined reply and use it in your headline to clearly explain exactly how your article or writing satisfies their need.

Example

Look no further than the title to this page:
