The internet is the information super-highway, this phrase has been
used so many times that it could be nominated for the "Internet
Cliché Award". People that go to the internet are subdivided
into groups, but generally, they are out to search for information.
Whether for gaming, business, fun or anything else, the internet
provides us with information that has proved to be very beneficial.
In recent years many people have learned the secrets of Search Engine
Optimization. More and more sites have seen the positive effects that
articles have had for the traffic of their sites. Some have even
created sites devoted entirely to providing articles. Website visitors
can read the articles and get links to lead to many other sites that
are related to the topics and subjects of those 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,
at the end of the article they can find a resource box that links 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
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. It
contains 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 encouragement 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 good content for your resource box? Basically it is
keywords, learning about the popular keywords that people are searching
for. There are many tools you can find on the internet that can help
you in determining what keywords to use. Good Keywords is a free tool
you can get at http://www.softnik.com
to determine how much a particular term is searched for. Then, check if
people are buying in relation to these keywords by checking how much
people are bidding on these keywords. You can check this at http://www.overture.com and http://adwords.google.com
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 home. But you do have
the power of imagination of a reader. With the right content, you can
make them think and become interested.
Another tip is to use keywords that are 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 it will provide a huge aid in driving traffic to your site. A
boring resource box will never get the job done. Be fun and creative
but at the same time show that you have a great deal to offer.
