How come many articles attract hundreds of thousands of views while others are left derelict at the far end of cyberspace? The cause very often comes down to 'article structure'.

Every effective article contains a structure as follows;

1. An attention getting title
2. An opening paragraph that creates curiosity
3. A main body which delivers the bulk of the articles 'value added' information
4. A powerful conclusion which summarizes the key points
5. A resource box which offers a free download related to the articles niche

If you can combine these elements with adequate emotive language, then your article will get serious attention.

1. An attention getting title
The title is one of the most decisive factors for driving traffic to your article. It must invoke emotion and promote an exciting benefit to the reader. For example instead of an article entitled "Video Marketing Tips" you could use "Revealed: How to get 500 site visitor per day using video marketing".

The use of the keyword 'Revealed' indicates it's an 'insider secret' and the quantity of '500 members ...
... per day' is exciting. This is certain to increase article views.

You should use a proven writing template for both your title and body copy. An example of this is; "5 ways to.", "How to" and many more.

2. An opening paragraph that creates curiosity
The opening paragraph must grab the readers attention and give them an attractive reason to read right to the end. Specify the most exciting benefits of reading your article and this should be a sufficient hook to retain reader attention, and get them reading.

3. A main body which delivers the bulk of the articles 'value added' information
The body of the article should contain 3 to 5 paragraphs that reveal the core benefits or tips that you outlined in the opening paragraph.

You should focus on making one key point per paragraph. This makes the article more digestible, and easier for the reader to comprehend.

You need to ensure that your article is delivered in bite size chunks and use plenty of white space. Never have more than 3 or 4 lines per paragraph. Use 'bulleted' or 'numbered' lists to improve your readers reading experience.

4. A powerful conclusion which blends into the resource box
Many inexperienced article marketers overlook the importance of the conclusion. It is a vital element in increasing the number of click throughs via your resource box. A good article writer will lead the reader to 'click on' the link in their resource box by making subtle suggestions in the conclusion. This takes a little practice as an explicit mention of your site in the conclusion may get your article rejected.

An excellent tip is to imagine your conclusion as two paragraphs long. The first paragraph is your actual conclusion, while the second is your resource box.

This enables you to synthesize the continuity between your conclusion and resource box and naturally lead the reader to clicking on the link in your resource box.

So you need to make your resource box feel more like a continuation of your conclusion and then subtely blend your link into this paragraph as a source for a free download that will deliver further great benefits to the reader.

5. A resource box which offer a free download related to the articles niche
A 'Resource Box' is often referred to as a biography box and ironically the secret to writing a good resource box is to not treat is as a 'biography box'.

If you write a 'biography box' that focuses totally on you, your click throughs will be low because your readers are not interested in you, they are interested in 'information' pertaining to your niche.
