Writing the Resource Box so it Makes People click

The internet is the information highway, this phrase has been used so may time it should be nominated for the Internet Cliché Award. People that go to the internet are subdivided into groups, but generally, they are out to search information. Whether for gaming, business, fun or anything else the internet has provided us with information that has proved to be very beneficial.

Through the recent years many people have learned the secrets of Search Engine Optimization. More and more sites have seen the effects articles have done for the traffic of their sites. Some have even created sites devoted entirely to providing articles that could be read by their website visitors and have links that could lead to many sites that are related to the topics and subjects of the articles.

For example, the sites may feature many articles about a whole lot of topics. As a website visitor reads the articles they have searched for, they can find at the end of the article a resource box that can be clicked on to link them to the site that has submitted the article. Of course the article would be in relation to the site. Lets say if the article is about rotating the tires, the resource box may lead to a link to a site that sells tires or car parts.

A resource box is what you usually find at the end of an article. They will contain the name of the author, a brief description of the author, a brief description of the sponsoring site and a link. If a reader likes what they read, they would have the tendency to find out where the article came from to read more. The resource box will be their link to the source of the article and this will entice them to go to the site and do some more reading or research for the subject or topic they are interested in.

But like the article itself, the resource box must also be eye-catching to demand the attention and interest of the reader. While the resource box encompasses only a small space, providing the right keywords and content for your resource box will provide more prodding for the reader to go to your site.

Now we know what resource boxes are, what are the benefits of having a good resource box?

Mainly it is driving traffic to your site. Many sites would allow articles to be placed in their sites because they can make use of the articles to fill their pages. They also get affiliation with other sites that can be beneficial for them as well. For the sponsoring site, when you get people to click on your resource box, you generate traffic that can be counted upon as potential customers.

So what would be a good content for your resource box? Basically it is keywords, learning about the proper keywords that people are mainly searching for. There are many tools you can find in the internet that can help you in determining what keywords to use.

Resource boxes can also make use of all the creativity it can get. You only get a small space for your resource box so you better make the most of it. Try to catch the attention of your reader with resource box content that can make them give a second look. Unlike TV ads, you don’t have visual aids to drive your point in. But you do have the power of imagination of a reader. With the right content, you can make them think and intrigued.

Another tip is to use keywords that should be related to your site. Do not mislead your potential website visitors. Build your credibility so that more people would get enticed to visit your site and browse what you have to offer. Make the people click your resource box by providing resource box content that makes a lasting impression. You only get one chance to wow them and hundreds of chances to repulse them.

Never underestimate the power of the resource box. It may be small in size but they will provide a significant aid in driving traffic to your site. A boring resource box will never get a job done. Be fun and creative but at the same time show that you have a great deal to offer, too much to ask for something that couldn’t fit a paragraph? Yes and no, there are many tips and guides that can help you in doing this, the first step is realizing how important a resource box could be in making people click your link and be directed to your site.

My EzineArticles Account Has Been Reinstated !!

Finally EzineArticles.com Editorial Team has reinstated my account. What a blessing!

I guess I would not dare to take the easy way out in the future.

My EzineArticles Account is Suspended !!

I received an email from EzineArticles.com Editorial Team the other day, telling me that my account is suspended due to the duplicated content.

I admit that the article I submitted is not 100% written by myself. I extracted some of the points from a sales copy that included in a Master Resale Right package that I bought sometimes ago.

I am so naive to think that it doesn't break the copyright law and to claim the content to be mine.

I have really learned a lesson here. Never put up the whole articles or resources that you've obtained (regardless whether you bought it or got it for FREE) as it is, you can still use the points / concepts or ideas given in those resources, but try to re-write the article yourself and give it a twist in your own style.

Anyway, I have replied EzineArticles.com Editorial Team to apologize and explain to them my situation. Hopefully they accept my apology and explanation so to review my account for reinstatement.


EzineArticles.com is one of my favorite Article Directories. It helps to bring quality traffic to my website. Submitting articles to article directories like EzineArticles.com is the simplest and cheapest way of publicity I would say. By showing your website URL in the Resource Box at the bottom of each submitted article, you are actually exposing your website URL to readers from all over the world who have either read or published your articles. Don't you think this is great?
