Don't write just to be writing you need to have a purpose or a goal. Do you want to write to inspire, to inform, or to persuade. Once your purpose is clear you can then map out your strategy. You need to know your audience, look over your articles you have written in the past. Which articles get more views; look at the comments made on your articles as well. Once you find out the area that interest the majority of your viewers, give them what they want.

Make friends, whenever you join any site online you strive to make as many friends as possible. The more friends you have the more chances you have for your article to be viewed. Try to check out several of your friends articles every day and comment on it for them. Look into which articles they write get the most attention and which ones don’t. Firefox is a very good internet browser to use solely because you can make friends allot faster than you can using internet explorer. When using Firefox go to one of your friend’s page and right click any friend, then select open link in new tab. You can do this multiple times and it will send their page up to the top of the toolbar. Once you have clicked on about 10 to 20 friends just click on their name at the top of the toolbar and click add friend. This is the technique will definitely help you get allot more page views for your articles. You can have anything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.

To increase your daily page views take advantage of bookmark sites so you can increase your daily page views. One bookmarking sites I highly recommend is Only wire because, with it you will be able to send your favorite articles to about 15 different bookmark sites with just one click. It takes a while to set Only wire up but once you have it up and running it works on autopilot for you. Join other social networks and invite your friends to view your articles. Create a blog and place links to your articles on your blog.

If you want to find high ranking keywords for your tags you should use Google keywords in your articles so people know how to find your article. Good keywords will get your article the maximum page views available. the best part of this tool is you don't have to pay for it because its free to use. If you are looking to write more articles and save time you should save keywords on different topics on your computer. The next time you need keywords on a particular subject go to your saved file and paste the keywords into your article.

If you want to maximize your page views you need to capture your audience with your title. If you look at a list of articles about business aren't you going to click on a title that captures your attention. Spend time thinking about the title because this is what will generate the most income for you. For example if you wanted to get more customers to your site which title would you choose? Get more customers to your website, or Are you tired of losing customers? You would more than likely choose the second one because of peoples natural curiosity to know an answer.
