As a writer of websites I'm often called upon to replace ineffective content and come up with a new approach. Possibly the most effective way of using headlines to grab interest is to use a list:

  • Five Reasons to Rewrite your Website
  • 10 Top tips for a better Love Life
  • 3 Ways to earn Cash TODAY!
  • David Gest's 10 Ways to avoid Bad Plastic Surgeons

This approach is used to great effect on many blogs, and we know that many people read apparently random blogs purely because the headline has grabbed them and it looks as if it's going to be helpful/amusing. we've all been trapped on the web, surfing from page to page as we spot a new headline.

Of course you're going to answer common questions about your chosen niche:

  • 5 Ways to Lose Weight
  • 10 Photography Answers you Wish you Knew
  • 3 Ways of Avoiding Scams

Use your imagination and it's surprisingly easy.

Wow, Paul! You are a GREAT writer. You hit all the nails squarely on their flat little heads...so clear! I took copious notes. This really helped me, because I tend to get diarrhea of the mouth,,,Or rather, writing hand! And you are an interesting person to read. And funny, besides...That picture of the dude sneaking a peek at work and all of a sudden being blasted with a tsunami of blaring sound---absolutely PRICELESS! I'm still laughing...Thank you so much for this. Boy, do I have a lot of re-writing to do---!

Terrific; I had forgotten all about how to set up pages. It makes so much sense when you understand why that placement is done--to copy the eye movements of the reader.
A terrifically knowledgeable coach sitting on your left shoulder would fill the bill!

Great article, Paul! Thanks for the lowdown on content. This was very specific and very helpful, and there were several points that I'll be using in the re-write of my current web pages. Thanks a lot!
