A Publisher's Rant: Why Your Byline Needs Improvement
Introduction
As a publisher managing multiple sites, I've often found myself frustrated with the bylines in many of your articles. Here's why these bylines bother me and what you can do to improve them.
The Importance of Bylines
Your article's byline is your prime opportunity to promote both your site and yourself. While the article's content matters, a byline that's unnecessarily long or lacks focus can deter me from using it. Ideally, keep it concise?"three lines or fewer.
Effective Article Linking
Writing articles is an excellent strategy for increasing your site's link count. Imagine your byline includes two links and your article gets published on 60 sites. You’ve just created 120 inbound links, which are invaluable. Unlike reciprocal links, inbound links are highly regarded by search engines, signaling that your site offers valuable information. Consider the IRS: despite not reciprocating any links, it ranks highly due to around 971,000 inbound links from reputable sources.
Crafting a Keyword-Driven Byline
Avoid using your byline to boast about personal achievements. Instead, focus on incorporating keywords relevant to your site. This not only maximizes the link potential but also strengthens your search engine rankings. For instance, if your site’s main keyword phrase is "how to lose weight," your byline could be:
"Halstatt is with http://www.domainname, helping people learn how to lose weight permanently. Dropping pounds is easy once you master the right techniques."
Compare that to an ego-driven byline:
"Halstatt was a fat slob until a bad sushi experience made him realize food poisoning can lead to washboard abs. Visit http://www.domainname to read more."
The first example effectively utilizes keywords, boosting your search engine ranking, while the second lacks focus and relevance.
Conclusion
While I rarely dismiss an article solely due to its byline, many of you could significantly enhance your impact by refining yours. Keep it concise, focused, and keyword-rich to maximize your SEO potential.
