    If you have problem with trying to
    increase the persuasiveness of your
    ads, emails, articles etc., this post is
    for you.

    This can look and sound simple or some
    people say it's common sense but many
    are just not doing it.

    Have you seen websites, emails, articles,
    ads that as soon as you see it you decided
    to leave?

    Assuming that you have decent content in
    those marketing materials, all you need is a
    few twists to make sure visitors or subscribers
    to stay on.

    Tip #1 - Formatting
    If you have lengthy paragraphs, sentences
    stretching from the left of your screen to the
    right, chances are readers will leave almost
    immediately.

    To avoid that, here are some guidelines. Make
    sure each paragraph has 3-4 lines (1-2 sentences)
    and each line has 8-10 words.

    Tip #2 - Congruency
    All your marketing materials must be congruent
    with you sales page, capture page or whatever
    page that you are leading your prospects to.

    Congruency is extremely important or your
    prospects will be confused.

    So make sure if you promise them for an apple,
    deliver the exact apple in the next page you are
    sending them to.

    Tip #3 - Appealing
    Your emails, ads, blog posts, articles must be
    appealing to the prospects' eyes so as to
    capture their attention.

    One way to accomplish this is by inserting
    images in your content.

    Another way is to organize your content in
    a structured and easy-to-read manner. This
    is when font sizes and formatting come into play.

    Hope these help! I'd like to know your reply and
    comment.

    Shorter articles tend to get more click throughs. Often times it is the shorter articles that get the best click throughs. We are talking articles in the 250- 300 word range. These articles give just enough information to get the reader engaged in the topic, then offers them that link to their own sites, which the reader follows without issue.

    sounds about right.. Personally, I click away if I see a giant article which means that I don't get to their link :)
