Article Marketing Traffic – Part Five

The Resource Box

You need to utilize this space in the best possible way you can, after all the entire purpose of the resource box is to get them to visit your website or another website that you are promoting.

If these readers fail to follow through, your article was all for nothing. You should think of your resource box as a 25 second commercial. What is the strongest message that you can use to motivate your readers to click on your link?

If you are not sure what you can offer within your resource box, here are a few things I have used successfully for over a year now:

>> A Free Report
>> Subscription to your newsletter
>> A free ebook
>> A free sample of a paid product
>> A Free Trial Membership
>> A Video Guide
>> A audio call or transcript

As long as you are offering something relevant to the subject of your article, you should be able to feature a high converting resource box with the required elements.

Tip: Use anchor text within your resource box so that you are generating back links for your keyword phrases, rather than just ranking for your domain name itself. Most article directories allow HTML to be used within the resource box, enabling you to post anchor text links instead of direct URL’s.

Example: “Click here to download your free report” rather than: “Visit www.yourdomain.com for your free report”.
