The writer at BuzzFeed write 20 headline and among them best one selected before publishing.
I was not writing attractive headline when I was newbie,but afterwards I followed these tips to write catchy headline.

because they don’t want to copy url and send everyone.
So you have to provide ease of sharing to reader that help them to share post in few click.
Use social share plug-in to share your article, it offer various customisation to make it impressive.
The best position to place social share plugin at the top, bottom of the post or in the sidebar
18.Image optimization
Truth: 80% of reader don’t read paragraph,they keep interest in Headline and Image.
Using image optimization can accrue your ranking specially in image so compress every image before uploading
If you ask me? I will recommend to use ShortPixel image compressor.
You can define level of quality you want to keep and it helps you to optimise image without loosing quality of image
Advantage of Optimization of Image.
- Load content much faster.
- Get more engagement with reader.
- Save storage and bandwidth.

19.Use Good Theme
Using handsome theme makes reader trust on site and keep them engaged.

To make blog good ,I’ll recommend to use Elegant theme(affiliate link and Astra testimonials) or Astra.
Because it provides various customisation option and key point is “It load your site faster”.
If you use some unknown theme,later you can get spam in your blog,so be careful before installing any theme.

Write more ,rank more ! formula works because user spend more time on lengthy article that increase the user experience.
According to BuzzFeed, lengthy or detailed post rank faster than any other so write long article as I do on my beststandout blog.

Push notification is quite usefull to drive instant traffic on your website, and it 100% works.
