The whole purpose behind article writing is to generate loads of one-way links to your site and gain more traffic. Everything in this business is quid-pro-quo. (I do something for you; I get something in return…) Well, you’ve provided good content for someone’s website and now you get something in return: A link and a chance for a subtle pitch. I say subtle because if it is too aggressive site owners will be hesitant to place it on their pages. Your payoff comes in the form of a resource box at the end of your article and there are some guidelines to creating it.

What to Include:

1. Name: Don’t forget this! It is the first thing to place into your resource box. Take credit for your work.

2. URL: Your website address MUST be placed correctly into your resource box. This link is your payment for creating content for other sites.

3. The Pitch: Here, you finally get to make that request for sales that you have earned by writing the article in the first place. Get your message across in 1-3 sentences. This may not seem like a lot, but you can get a very good message across in three sentences.

Remember to include a Call to Action in your pitch and to take the rest of this section into consideration when creating your resource box.

Guidelines for a Successful Resource Box:

Be Relevant

The article you have written has to have relevance to your website just as the link in the resource box has to have relevance. It is real easy to tell if your site link and article had relevance to your site because if it doesn’t, you will receive a lot of short term visitors. This is due to people reading your articles, liking what they see, then following your link only to find that it is not what they were looking for.

No Enormous Resource Boxes

Don’t make your resource box as large as your article. This may seem to go without saying, but some people have written some huge resource boxes.

Don’t Write in the Third Person

If I were to stick something like, “Neil Morrical is an expert in his field and has helped website owners in…….” You get the idea? I’m going to be direct here. When you read something like that, don’t you have a suspicion that the perso
