Free Web Traffic For Red Eye Magnet Title | Is SEO Title Totally Useless?
article marketing is one the free web traffic generation strategies that I use. However my web traffic generation result is not extraordinary. I often wondered what I should to optimize my article marketing. Is it my author byline? Is it my writing style? And I’ve kept experimenting without having any significant increase in my web traffic.
Then, bang, I hit the nail! I did it using red eye magnet title! So what’s red eye magnet title all about?
It’s all thanks to Paul Easton, my link building expert friend from Down Under 
Here’s what he shared with me…
I have been article marketing via submityourarticle.com for a couple of months, with out much actual results…..however an article I put out yesterday was listed on another blog within minutes and serveral the next day. The article was called:
Free Website traffic for Pink Cows and Purple pigs: Link building
My thought is because the subject line was outside the ordinary, it got more attention….
Something to keep in mind -the content was not greatly different then the regular weekly article.
Raymond Chua, my Malaysian friend who specializes in acne niche, also shared his similar successful experience.
I remember the day I put up a blog post with an extraordinary title, my traffic shoot up 150%. There’s nothing special with the content but only the title.
I was blown away. When I checked my statscounter, SU and Google are responsible for the lion’s share of my traffic which is great!
What they have in common?
Red eye magnet title!
Their successful experience intrigued me… So I rewrote one of my blog post and gave it a red eye magnet title, Yellow Mouse Robots Spray : Repel Search Engine Robots From Indexing Your Pages, then submitted it to my secret article directories. Within hours the article was picked up by several blogs and I found 86 references when searching in Google using exact phrase “Yellow Mouse Robots Spray”.
Red Eye Magnet Title
No what does red eye magnet title mean? It means that human factor still influences in choosing articles. It’s similar like when we browse for books in a book store. Which book attracts our eyes first? Obviously the one with flashy and colorful cover and title!
It’s the same with articles. When we pulled a lot of articles in article directories, catchy and out of this world title attracts our eyes first. Hence I name it red eye magnet title
Is SEO Title Totally Useless?
In short answer, NO. SEO still plays important role in bringing your free web traffic. Remember that in the Internet the only way you can find everything is by using keyword. You entered a keyword into a search engine like Google, and it would generate results based on your keyword.
Then you would choose which one to browse based on its description or its title. And this is where red eye magnet title plays its important role.
Do you notice that in this title I use two different keywords, free web traffic and SEO?
Punch Line
One more thing that I want to share: add a punch line to your red eye magnet title. It will bring more attention to your title. Like I use “Is SEO Title Totally Useless?” in this title. This contradiction simply makes people curious to read more
Share It With The World!
All of these techniques are useless if you don’t share your articles with world. You won’t get any web traffic. You hate to manually submit your article to many article directories, don’t you? I know. I’ve been there.
But now with this untold article directory, you can automatically submit your article to more than 37 article directories out there at once and enjoy free web traffic coming to your site

Nice tips. The curiosity factor and attention grabbing titles definitely increase the chances of getting your articles published provided they are good because this results in more article views. These type of articles are traffic magnets.
