Selecting a suitable title for your article is most important thing. You have to analyze how the users will search for the subject you had written and select the topic that will be search friendly.

So always remember title plays a prominent role
Next thing is the article content , nearly usage of general words are not that much attractive when compared to the usage of key terms. For example when you write an article about education , add keywords like illiterate instead of un-educated , when saying about institutions add some famous universities and online sites , add sex when talking about coeducation etc. This would increase the hit rate from search engines.But don't flood your article with keywords.
