Practically all web marketing gurus see eye to eye on this – One of the major factors to effective web marketing is with article marketing.

Now that you understand you want to capitalize on the potential of web marketing using articles, you have to work on writing articles to attract three, vastly unique targets with one article.

Three audiences of article marketing
The three audiences of article marketing and how to write great headlines for each:

1. Readers - In the end, these are the folks who will make up their mind that they are attracted to what you do enough to come to your site. You should write a headline that will attract your audience to actually read your message in the first place. You want to pull the reader to dig further into your article and actually absorb your message.

80% of readers will read your headline, but only 20% will read your actual article. How effectively your headline is written decides the reader’s next step.

Readers can come across your article headline on social networking sites like Del.icio.us, as links in an instant message from a school chum, and in their search engine results. If your headline does not make them want to read your article, you simply won’t get audience, even if you have the best article or product on the planet. You could have discovered the cure to AIDS, but with a poorly constructed headline no one will find out about it.

2. Search Engines - Search engines agree that the web page title is the single greatest on-page indicator of the content of the page. Coming in second place is the use of the <h1> heading tag. When your article is published, publishers have a tendency to make either or both the title and H1 tag the same as your article title. As a result, having words in your article title which are important to those searching for information increase your chances of showing up in search engine results.You need to have your keywords in the headline and as near the start as reasonable to still appease the other two audiences.
3. Publishers - One of the keys to article marketing is the how publishers can spread your message like a virus. This is why article marketing is so powerful. One well-written article can get published on a thousand web pages across the web over the period of a only few weeks.These are the folks who determine whether your article is placed on their site, newsletter, blog, etc. They are a pesky blend of both readers and the likes of Yahoo. They want to believe your article will get them search engine users and also make their readers happy. But, if they don’t find your article since the the poor headline doesn’t come back in their Google results, or the headline fails to attract them in to read it – you’re out of luck.

   One could say that publishers can make or break an article’s success and by making the other two audiences happy you will please them as well.

Writing Good Headlines for All Three
This article’s title was written exclusively to supply an example of how to meet the needs these three audiences. As you can see, the first three words of the article headline are search engine fodder - they are a combination of two highly sought phrases, and those words are the very first in the headline.

The first words also tell you what the article is about. The last part captures your interest and draws you deeper in. It promises something of interest that will provide what you’re hoping to gain or learn about. It makes you ask yourself, “I wonder what lesson I can take away from this article…” and so you read on, just as you did.

Take this lesson with you and write great article headlines that get noticed, get published, and get visitors coming to your web site. Get out there, get writing, and cash in.
