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 Cliche 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. 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.

What you doesn’t know

After reading this article you will know why Rob Benwell’s Blogging To The Bank (BTTB for short) is worth a review.

Blogging To The Bank 3.0 is an upgrade or addition to the previous ebook report that Rob published not so long years ago. Basically it teaches you how to make money with your blogs, and not only making money, teaches you how to become a super-affiliate, promoting other people products using your blog.

In his report, he teaches the 7 Step Blueprint to Become a Super Affiliate Using Free Blogs.

#1 Researching the Market:
This is the foundation in which you’ll learn if the market is hungry for your offer, researching using free tools like Google keywords or free Wordtracker or choosing the right keywords is essential for a successful “affiliate” blog.

I use Google Suggestor to show related keywords. It’s a software that is no longer available in the market, basically it fetches keywords in Google searches and suggest related keywords and keywords modifiers.

It’s very important and crucial in researching your niche because you want to decide if you want to crush or dominate your competition by being a research junkie. The tools and resources are free, sometimes there are paid services but you can still do away with free tools available online.

#2 Creating Your Blog
This next step is like building your house. This is where you want to place all your contents like your videos, your articles, your audios downloadable free report. Creating a blog is not difficult. You can start creating a free blog at Blogspot.com or Wordpress.com. Go there and create an account, start entering new post about the niche you are researching in step 1 and you are almost there.

If you already have an experience, you can have your own blog hosted with your own domain name such as myownwebsite.com/blog and brand yourself as the next superstar in blogging. And the most popular blogging software is Wordpress, it’s free, you can install it through your website control panel, or just upload it via FTP on to your website root directory or folder. If you are new however (or a newbie, you don’t know anything about FTP, etc) then I suggest get this newbie profit system how to start your online business from scratch.

#3 Monetizing Your Blogs
In this step, you need to learn how to place ads, banners and monetizing ideas on your blog. These are ads you’ve seen on most blogs. If you wonder how and where you can get products to promote go to Clickbank.com marketplace and search by category and enter keywords that fit about your niche blog.

You can also place Google Adsense on your blog, or Clickbank hopfeed. The possibilities of monetizing your blog is endless but do not overdo it. Sometimes, it become annoying that instead you keep your readers they will just stay away.

Hot tip: Instead of placing lots of ads on your website, focus on getting them into your list and create a special page that target them alongside the ad. That will increase clickthrough and conversion!

#4 Getting Content:
If you are lazy creating contents for your blog, you can buy private label right articles, modify them, change the synonyms of the keywords you are bidding and post them on your blog. Or, you can go to scriptlance, bid someone who can write for you for an article, it’s doesn’t cost too much maybe $2-$5 as much as $15 per article depending on your niche really.

Another way, is to let your subscribers have the right to create articles on your blog, give them incentives, whatever and you have new and fresh articles every post. Instead of them being subscribers, you let them become Editors and Authors.

#5 Blogging Tips
This step, Rob Benwell layout his tips on blogging. How to optimize your website with keywords, where and how to place keywords, linking, the whole bunch of stuff. It’s how to optimized your keywords in the search engine ranking. Also, submitting your RSS to different feeds is one way to boost your blog’s visibility.

My tip: Search your competitor, examine his blog, be a spy and as much possible dominate them by making your blog better.

#6 Getting Your Blog Seen
This step is one of the important elements of a successful blog, you need to get traffic to your blog. Without traffic, nobody will know you have something to offer. You need traffic so that people will learn about some stuff you promote to make you money.

How to get traffic? How to generate traffic to your blog?

There are many ways, some simple some complicated. Some involve money or lots of money and then some are free as you see there are various ways.

First the most effective way is write an article and submit it to article directory. And you only submit to those article directory that are high value PR sites which can drive traffic. I recommend you can start with Ezinearticles but there are still others that worth the try and get your blog rank high in Google searches.

The other method is press release, there are free press release site but also there are paid site like PRweb but it’s worth it. You can also get traffic through forums by being a forum member, it’s only a slow traffic if you do it through forum. Try going to WarriorForum and register an account. Build a reputation and you then have ways to post your blog url in the signature or offer people about what’s in your blog.

Other ways for effective traffic is Web2.0 (there’s a lot of ways how to do this and will be beyond the scoop of this article), comment posting and blackhat or grey hat methods (I won’t elaborate more on this methods because that’s another topic)

#7 Creating a Network
Here he teaches you how to interlink your blogs, once you get the hang of it you can start linking each other to form a network.

Now, that’s in his last BTTB and now that he released his BTTB version 3, he added software into the mix. Article Assistance and Blog Announce Pro

He also provided a whitehat and blackhat PDF report that shows how to get you and your blog into one of the elite. In other words, techniques how to a successful blogger using whitehat and blackhat strategies.

There’s a bonus included which is 5 niche products - wedding planning, quit smoking, golf, dog training and discusfish.

CONCLUSION, Straight From the Horses Mouth

Blogging to the bank may not be for you, if you are already earning $5K~$20K or $30K as a professional blogger because almost all of the stuff is already known to you, except only for the fact that in his whitehat and blackhat strategy report, I find it new so you can still learn from his Blogging To The Bank 3.0

If you are an experienced blogger but haven’t meet your desired income consistently, you still need to learn Rob Benwell stuff, more importantly his softwares, Article Assistance and Blog Announcer Pro and also the report - whitehat.df and blackhat.pdf. Itr’s worth that price of his $37 BTTB3.

So, I recommend it, I use it and I’m on my way bloging my way to the bank.
