Loading ...Everyone wants to attract attention on the web. This makes it that much harder for any one site to draw attention, even for moments at a time. There are a lot of strategies employed all over the net to catch a user’s eye, and not all of them are nice.
People try all sorts of tricks. It’s almost reminiscent of childhood. Whether it’s good attention or bad attention, the attention-grabbing part of most people’s psyche seems to have hit full stride on the net.
Not all of the attention your business grabs has to be bad. It is the objective of most businesses to draw traffic to their site by providing good, quality, informative content. Unfortunately, it’s not just a case of ‘if you build it, they will come.’ You do need to find a way to draw people onto your site so that your content can shine.
Here are some of the best methods of attracting attention with your content:
Build useful applications or programs: Providing a free program is a tried and tested way of drawing attention. Publicising your program is very important in drawing attention to it. The bonus of this technique is that once people come to your site for the program, it’s much easier to get them to view your other content.
Provide resources: you can build a reputation as an online authority simply by providing easy to use resources. Some of the articles that work best include how-to articles, step-by-step instructional articles and question-and-answer articles. This is mainly because they are so simple to understand. Anything that is catchy and to-the-point will work well.
Interviews: Build perception of your site’s popularity and provide interesting content at the same time by interviewing prominent people in your industry. Remember to have their written permission before you publish the article, just to save any legal hassles. Good formatting is also important for this type of content.
Run a competition: Many popular bloggers can thank an early competition for their success. Competitions are particularly popular if there are no or few strings attached. Internet users are getting more wary about giving out their emails, so it can sometimes be worth sacrificing an information-gathering opportunity in the hopes of drawing repeat traffic.
Create unique content: Whether it’s humourous pictures, debunking of a theory, or quirky research, a fresh approach is eye-catching. It’s even more important for this type of content to be well-researched and well executed. Creating timely content for an upcoming event also works.
Create controversy: This is a method employed by many bloggers in the past, and it will no doubt be employed again in the future. It’s almost guaranteed to draw traffic. Whether it’s the sort of attention you want for your business is up to you.
