This is a guest post by Adam from Dorm Room Cash.
If traffic is what you want, then it is time that you go and get it. Link building, social media, guest blogging, article marketing, email marketing and blog posts are not enough, you need to add something different to get more traffic.
The problem that so many bloggers have is they don’t stand out from the crowd. Do yourself a favor and give your readers something different that will help you stand out.
What can you do to stand out of the crowd?
Have you ever thought about using strange article titles to lure in new readers and shock the readers you already have? When something is dead such as a heart (you blog), you will need to shock it back to life (strange article titles).
This works because people are not expecting it and other readers will soon wonder what that article is about too.
Let me ask you something, which article would you rather read;
101 Ways To Make Money Quickly Online
OR
Crazy, Stupid And Genius Ways Gurus Make Money Online – 101 Ways To Be Exact
If you ask me this same question I would have to say the second article. The first article seems like it has what I want to know about but the second article seems like it will have something a little different.
When it comes to what people like, it is always something a little different. The key here is to give the reader what they want to read but at the same time give you article a title that screams, READ ME!
Below you will find 4 examples of article titles that talk about the same thing but have a different personality in them. The first article title is the basic one and the second one is the one that sounds a little strange and will most likely get more traffic.

Do you see why the latter of the two titles would work better to get you more traffic? People like something that is different and with all the people talking about making money online and other things like that, you need to do something to stand out of the crowd.
I am not saying that you need to insult your audience all the time, but it works best to give your readers something different to read from time to time.
When it comes to getting traffic to your website you need to start with what is actually on your site because that is the easiest. Trust me, you will be much better off writing better articles titles than going back to building countless backlinks and spending hours messing with social media sites.
