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. Let’s say if the article is about rotating the tyres, the resource
box may lead to a link to a site that sells tyres 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 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 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.
