Resource Boxes — The Moment of Article Marketing Truth
Article marketing can conceivably drive traffic in one of two ways.
It can get you more visitors by improving your backlink totals which should, in turn, improve your search engine performance.
Article marketing can also get you a direct supply of visitors. People who find your article via search or some other method and who then opt to check out your site after they’ve ready your content.
That decision–to click on to your page or to click away–takes place at the resource box.
It’s not just a place to stick your links.. It’s where you close the deal, creating a bridge from your syndicated content to your site.
Think about it. Everything hinges on that resource box.
Are you giving it enough attention?
Or could it be better?
If you have room for improvement, make it. You’re wasting the potential power of your articles by saddling them with a lousy resource box.
Put together a box that draws people to click on that link. When you start seeing your click through rate (and your profits) soar, you’ll be glad you put for the effort.
What a Difference Five Could Have Made…
There’s an easy little way to drive free traffic to your website and, if you’re like most people, you probably aren’t doing it.
You should have the URL of your site, in the form of a clickable link, as part of the signature attached to every email you send. It takes about 5 seconds to set up and it can deliver extra traffic to your site.
You’re probably thinking that the traffic production will be limited, at best. And you’re right. An email signature isn’t going to lead to any server overloads.
Over time, however, it’s significant. Think about how many emails you’ve sent out in the last several years. What if you would have spent those five seconds fixing up your email signature back then?
How many sales did you miss? How many new clients did you accidentally avoid.
Five seconds. That’s all it takes. And in the long run, it does matter.
Put your link in your email signature right away.
Join a Forum in Your Niche Area
Forums that are in your same niche area are great places to mingle and state your intentions. If you join in conversations and become known for what you have to say, people are going to follow any link you supply. Of course, this takes some time because people need to get to know you first. However, links to your website will stay visible for everyone to see. You can drive traffic to your website by becoming a force in your niche area.
If you have a wealth of information about catfish fishing and you have an e-book to sell, you want to join a forum with other anglers. The forums should be populated with real people. May sure, before you join the forum to check the areas of interest to make sure that there are recent entries. You want a forum with at least five digits in followers.
After you join, you can add your website link in your signature. This allows anyone to click it and land on your website. After time, you can talk about your knowledge and what you might have for sale or for the readers to enjoy. Free marketing is always the best way to make money and get traffic.
Advertise Your Site in Your Email Signatures
How many emails do you send each day? If you’re like the average person who uses a computer on a daily basis, you may send or receive up to 100 messages a day. That’s a lot of opportunities to share your website! If you haven’t added a direct link to your site in your email signature, you are missing out on a lot of free publicity.
You may think that the people you communicate with wouldn’t be interested in your site. Some people don’t include a link because they think it is the equivalent of spamming someone. This may at one time have been seen as so, but it is common now for business emails to have signatures with not only website addresses, but with addresses for social networking profiles and more!
Take advantage of the emails you send every day by taking the time to set up an email signature. It’s easy. With most email programs, you can input your information in the “settings” and you’re ready to go. Not all email platforms will allow HTML sigs, so in this case you may need a free signature program such as WiseStamp. These programs will automatically insert your email sigs each time you open your mail to compose a new message.
