6. Sign up to use a really slow-loading hit counter and putrepparttar button inside of a TABLE so that nothing appears untilrepparttar 135628 hit-counter responds. This is possiblyrepparttar 135629 best way to keep visitors from stealing from you as it keeps them from even reading your content and possibly typing it into their site from memory. For this to work reliably, you must avoid puttingrepparttar 135630 height and width intorepparttar 135631 call forrepparttar 135632 hit counter graphic. You can improverepparttar 135633 effectiveness of this technique by inserting not only a hit counter button, but a long string of banner exchange banners. 7. Forrepparttar 135634 occasional visitor that inadvertently makes their way to your ezine subscription form, fear not. All is not lost. You can still rid yourself of them by asking lots and lots of personal questions. Don't just ask for their email address. Ask for their mailing address, phone number, sex, age, hobbies, religion, race and some other things best not discussed here. This technique works equally well when applied to your order forms and minimizes your trip torepparttar 135635 UPS office to ship products. 8. Splash page. You gotta have a Splash Page. Lots of slow loading animation. If you can combine this withrepparttar 135636 requirement to download another obscure plug-in, you'll have hit a home run. I'm especially impressed byrepparttar 135637 many sites that have uppedrepparttar 135638 ante to include two splash pages before you ever get to evenrepparttar 135639 first word of content. Stunning! Brilliant! 9. Reconfigurerepparttar 135640 visitor's browser window. This will drive them crazy! People hate it when you run a script on your pages that expandsrepparttar 135641 user's browser window to fillrepparttar 135642 entire screen and then do away with all ofrepparttar 135643 browser Toolbar features such asrepparttar 135644 Navigation Toolbar andrepparttar 135645 Location Toolbar, 10 Finally, an oldie but goodie. Make your background dark and your text just a shade or two brighter. This makes it impossible to read your text and will rid you of visitors before they have a chance to clog up you server logs. If this is not possible on your site, userepparttar 135646 alternate technique of putting most of your content in PDF files so thatrepparttar 135647 visitor has to download them and launch another application. Very effective. Did I mention that all of these cool ways to irritate visitors work even better at driving awayrepparttar 135648 people reviewing your site for places like Yahoo, LookSmart and other directories to whom you've paid large sums of money to review your site and add it to their directory? I hope this helps in your future marketing decisions.

As a matter of interest, this article you are reading started out as an idea and my first headline was;

“How to use articles to get loads of free traffic”

How boring. There are so many similar headlines available already onrepparttar net. Very few people would be interested and it would not matter how good my content was, it would just not get read by enough people.

Look atrepparttar 135627 final headline I arrived at (above) and learn what I am trying to say here.

One word of caution; do not trick readers with a catchy headline and then fail to deliver. Make sure you can fully justify what you promise in your headline.

2) What do you want your readers to feel?

Curiosity is another strong human emotion to aim for with your article, and much easier to achieve most ofrepparttar 135629 time. If you can make you readers curious and hungry for more information, they will have no problem doing what you ask them to do in your resource box.

When writing most of my articles, I start out with all these objectives in mind as I focus onrepparttar 135630 particular subject at hand. When I finish my first draft I usually know which emotion I will go for or emphasize on as an objective forrepparttar 135631 article.
