The Resource Box - Makes People click

Eugenijus Sakalauskas

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 bow 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 bow 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 its 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.
