OWG,
Thanks very much, the structure you suggested is excellent, I will use that template for subsequent issues. Thanks VERY much

[OldWelshGuy]

you're welcome

In any form of marketing the outcome HAS to be the driving force. In this case, the outcome is to drive traffic to the forum. To acheive this we have to always be aware of A.I.D.A.
Attention
Interest
Desire
Action

Attention is the headlines the reader can scan them and pick what INTERESTS them (stage two) you then build the DESIRE by giving the benefits of the tool article etc, and go for the ACTION by giving them a link and inviting them to click on it.

Marketing is simple as long as you follow these steps

Damn this is another article isn't it LOL

[temi]

Yes OWG, its just a few paragraphs shot of an article A.I.D.A you mentioned reminds me of a marketing tape I bough years ago, its called: Stroking AIDA'S Pussy.
The title was Attention grabbing because... you can work in out yourself

[OldWelshGuy]

I never knew Verdi wrote a hybrid Opera abot Aida and a cat? maybe it is an up market version of dick whittington?
