One of the more commonly known methods of catching the search engines attention is content – and let’s say for example you’re a top internet savvy SEO expert, and you can get the traffic onto your site – then the next step is thinking how you are going to keep it there! If you’re spending you time writing quality content for blogs, websites, or any other sort of published location, there is some valuable advice to remember to give your articles the buzz necessary to pull readers in and hold their attention all the way through to the very last line.

Instead of just choosing a topic and writing about it, select a part of the topic, state an opinion and follow it up with specific details about why you’ve taken this point of view. This will generate debate and drive in feedback from among readers and cause quite a bit of buzz around your article. Word travels incredibly fast on the Internet – especially on Twitter, so your article will be receiving all kinds of attention while developing an interesting dialogue at the same time.

There are several ways to encourage reader response to an article. Traditionally, writers would supply their email at the end of the article. But this is a passive response since no one else reading the article can view another reader’s comments. A more active method is to add a comments section below your article where people can leave their opinions about what they just read. But sometimes, the comments left can take attention away from the actual article or get off track from the original topic.

A better way to attract valuable feedback is to link the article to an online survey. This type of reader response also helps the writer or publisher obtain measurable comments. By implementing an online survey, you can discern whether readers enjoyed the article, if they had the same viewpoint as what was said, if they disagreed entirely, or if they had any other extra information to share.

There are websites available that assist with creating the online questionnaire and in providing information on how to link the survey to the article. Useful tools which track and measure feedback are also available. Some online survey providers also offer the option of sharing real time survey results with readers and provide incentive ideas to encourage readers to participate in the questionnaire.

Utilizing an online survey linked to an article is an effective means of communication that encourages discussion about a topic. It’s a cost effective investment that has excellent benefits which enable you to acquire the greatest overall response from any individual article.
